Best Greek Restaurants in Carnegie Hill

WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.

We loved everything about Milo’s midtown! It had been over 10 years since we’ve been here & choose this for our friend who has never been in NYC. We arrived early & sat at the bar with great cocktails taking in the holiday cheer & bustle of the staff as they take from the fresh stock of Mediterranean fish chosen by their customers. We had the tomato salad & calamari to start. Not a huge fan of calamari but this was perfect. Lavraki, our main meal, was intensely flavorful with some grilled mixed vegetables. We topped off the meal with decadent desserts & shared some baclava & galaktoboureko.

Fantastic food, drinks, and service…one of the best restaurants we have been to in NYC!

The food was spectacular - from appetizers through the fresh fish to the desserts. Service was excellent. The prices are a bit steep, but the experience is worth it if you can afford it. My only gripe was the noise. They could benefit from some simple noise dampening techniques (tapestries on the walls and ceilings, for example).

This is a wonderfully authentic Greek restaurant, walking distance from the Met. Pricy but the $39 prix fixe is absolutely terrific. Light and airy. Great, attentive service.
