Editorial Review for Ammos – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Sandstone pillars, sweeping ceilings and suspended umbrellas create drama at this Greek refuge. A two-story wall of wine stretches to the mezzanine, while an oversized image of a boat drifting on a turquoise sea decorated with ammos--the Greek word for sand--transports diners to the isles. Cosmopolitan denizens chat and clap along with the live Greek music every Saturday night.
The Food
The wide-ranging menu of regional selections is overwhelming and difficult to pronounce; luckily the mostly Greek staff translates. Superior mezedes--octopus stew in rich tomato sauce, smoky eggplant salad prepared tableside and sharable assortment of house-made spreads--tantalize. Seafood fans will rejoice over the Olympic-sized whole grilled fish served by the pound and tender langoustines with egg noodles. Classic and contemporary desserts follow with honey as the main theme--stick to the traditional baklava version instead of the chocolate or try pillow-soft cinnamon beignets.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasIf you feel like taking a trip to Astoria, the equally beautiful sister Ammos Estiatorio serves a slightly less expensive menu.
Save MoneyKnow that whole grilled fish listed by the pound is often feeds multiple people, and the listed price will be multiplied by the weight of that fish that day.

I have ate here with my family and friends. The food is very good, service is excellent. I really enjoy how the get as many waiters/waitress needed and all service your food all at once. The cost is a bit high, but is worth the experience. If you do plan on dining here, make sure you make a reservation or else youll be waiting for hours and getting a small table.
Pros: ambiance

Ammos was expensive, the service unprofessional and annoying including filling up the wine glasses every few minutes and most importantly the "fresh" fish was was dry and pathetically small. Appetizers and sides were awful, for example, baked Haloumi cheese, a Cypriot specialty was so thinly sliced that it lost all flavor and would be unrecognizable by any Cypriot or like ourselves anyone who has traveled to Cyprus. The bill for three was $240.00 and we walked out hungry. The worst high end Greek food that we ever had!
