What People Are Saying About Anthos

The Editor

Citysearch

Anthos' young chef, Michael Psilakis, aspires to bring Greek food to the three-star level. Specifically, he wants to create a white-tablecloth restaurant that will brook comparison to the likes of Daniel and Del Posto. To a great extent, he has succeeded. Psilakis takes basic Greek flavors like lemon, fennel and lamb, and recombines then in ways so highly abstract, imaginative and intellectual that some Greeks find it unrecognizable. Most diners, however, find it delicious, particularly the big production numbers like a yuvetsi, the clay pot casserole of mixed shellfish in a saffron halibut…

Excellent food and place. Would definitely go back!

by jbjbjb003 at Citysearch

I just went to Anthos today for lunch. I had their restaurant week menu and everything looked good and tasted great. It's a very modern looking restaurant. Our wait staff was attentive and courteous. We started off with red wine and olive bread. My appetizer was the fluke, with whipped feta and chili sauce. It was 4 little pieces that were just perfect. Then I the lamb shank with root vegetables. The lamb came right off the bone and was cooked just right. It was like butter. Lastly, I had the chocolate and walnut dessert. THis was so yummy. I asked for regular coffee and the waiter came served it French pressed style. I loved it. My fried had the spiced cake with olive oil ice cream, which was also really good. They have a regular pre fixe menu for $28 that they offer daily. I would definitely go again, as I work in the area, the price was reasonable, food was delish and my whole experience was excellent from beginning to end.

  • Pros: food, ambience, waitstaff and price, their napkins do not shed on black clothes
  • Cons: none

Rude Service..

by cardozaaa at Citysearch

While I felt that the value paid for the quality of the food served was appropriate, I was stunned when the staff advised us that we would have to vacate the table by a set time. While this is far too common in American restaurants, this would have never happened in Europe, where we would have enjoyed our meal without feeling rushed. Overall, the meal was delicious and I would return, however, the wine menu is considerably overpriced. The comments by the staff certainly soured what should have been a wonderful experience.

  • Pros: food
  • Cons: overpriced,staff
