PLORI is a neighborhood gem with a bright and cheery ambiance, friendly and courteous staff, and outstanding cuisine. Nikos was once again our star server making excellent recommendations along the way. I tried three specials. The Greek sausage appetizer with a mustard sauce was delicious. The Lobster bisque was a little too salty for me, but otherwise tasty. And my main course was Dover sole with mussels that should be placed on the menu permanently so I can have it again and again! Wow was that good! A nice bottle of Greek wine and Greek dessert made it an extra special night out.

One of the finest Greek restaurants on Long Island. Ambience is beautiful, service excellent. The bartenders are great. The food is first rate except for lemon potatoes and Greek salad. Last visit one dessert order was incorrect and not replaced, but the desserts are fabulous. I have been here at least 8 times and I highly recommend it.
