    Wonderful food quality and excellent service. Grilled whole fish for 4 and well prepared side dishes. Beautiful restaurant and very attentive service. I’ve been here before and will continue to come when I’m in the theater district. Ask for server Lambi K. So helpful. Kudos!!

    We are not new to Kellari, but that is kind of the point. We visit New York frequently from DC to see theater and eat well. Some of that eating is always done here. The freshness of everything, from the fish to the beefsteak tomatoes on the salads, is remarkable. One always leaves feeling both satisfied and healthier for the experience. This time we had some spanakopita (not to be missed) and a split Greek salad (Oh, those tomatoes!) with a piece of Fagri that was perfectly fresh and exquisitely done. We had a great half-bottle of Brunello, too, from their ample selection of splits, which is great for diners like us who want a taste but can seldom finish a whole bottle. The ambiance is comfortable to the point of being family-like. As for service, it is always stellar and Phillip easily upheld that tradition. We recommend this place to all who are attracted by the menu with the highest measures of confidence and enthusiasm.

    We had the pea soup and the vegetarian moussaka. It was delicious and filling. The dessert with the flaky pastry and the custard and the chocolate ganache was delicious. The service was very good. And the decor was simple and pretty.
