    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    Great lunch today…..beautiful presentation and delicious. Yellowtail tuna, Roasted and glazed duck breast and a Hazelnut/chocolate cake. Portions were large enough that two of us shared the meal. Our server Michael is warm and friendly. Always happy to see him.

    A perfect spot for a sophisticated, informal dinner. The chopped salads and brick oven pizzas work well together. Food preparation is consistently light and healthy. You can count on any dish ordered to be successful and delicious. Tables are spaced close together but this is nyc afterall.

    Another lovely fish meal at the Mykonian. So happy with this addition to the neighborhood--especially the salads, zucchini chips and lavraki--looking forward to visiting again in December and hoping they add an orange or olive oil cake to their dessert menu.
