"Very good food, beautiful presentation, and a beautiful atmosphere. The drinks were very nice too. I went with a larger party (8-10) and had some trouble getting attention from the server, but ultimately was able to order what I wanted, and everything came out promptly. Would recommend"

"I visited Ammos for lunch last week and it was a DELICIOUS meal! We enjoyed a variety of appetizers, each was better than the next. I also coordinated a board dinner at Ammos and I heard nothing but great reviews. Angela and the team are quick to respond to emails to make the planning stress free. There are a few options for prix fixe so keeping the cost in line with what my company wanted to spend for a private room was quite easy. I highly recommend!"

"A little noisy to me. They don’t have beets to make beets yogurt pistachio crumble desert for me. Lobster mango salad is ok. Lobster doesn’t taste as tasty. Black Sea bass is good. I like the organic chicken the most."

"This Greek seafood-focused restaurant has somewhat dim neutral to bluish lighting, leading to a calm atmosphere. It's semi-formal in nature, with nothing in particular marking it as especially formal or casual. I'd bring the grandparents and in-laws here, maybe not very young children. I'd definitely be happy coming here with colleagues or for lunch with friends too, though. The atmosphere is perfect for date night. The bar is quite expansive. The octopus appetizer was absolutely delicious and stunning in presentation, with a huge intact octopus leg being served that was cooked nicely - it had a char on it, but it wasn't overdone or rubbery. We had lamb chops for a main, which, nothing to complain about. My dining partner quite liked them, but I'm not a lamb person, so I'll take his word for it. The mashed potatoes were delicious. We had a lobster mango salad as well, which was an odd combination, to say the least. Personally, I think a mango chutney would have been better. The textures of the mango chunks and lobster didn't quite go together, and neither did the tastes, in my opinion. It's quite hard to pull off unconventional combinations like this one, and in this instance, we preferred to eat the lobster and mango separately. The desserts were lovely - a perfectly warm chocolate lava cake and a vanilla flan. These were rich and delicious. Standard, not exceptionally creative in any way, but very good renditions of the classics. The service was fine. One of our servers was much more experienced and took good care of us, filling up our water and explaining the dishes well. However, when I dropped a knife and someone else came to give me a replacement, he told me to leave the knife on the floor when I bent to reach for it and said it's fine, he'd grab it later. Personally, because it was a serrated knife, I felt it would be a bit safer to pick it up immediately, or at least let me get it for him. I didn't like having it on the floor by my feet. Overall, it seemed a tad disappointing for the price point ($265 for 2 people). Some good dishes, some bad, nothing that blew me out of the water, I guess. Not a bad place for a nice dinner, but in the middle of New York, I've had better at a similar price point. As others have said, if you have an expense account to use for a business dinner, this is great for that. But if not, the price doesn't seem fully justified."

"If I had an expense account, this would be the place to waste money at. However, without one, the prices seem extremely high for the mediocre fish and cocktails. The service was decent, probably because one of my dining companions knew the manager. Our group of five shared some appetizers and each ordered grilled fish as the main course. Unfortunately, the fish lacked flavor and needed more seasoning. This is surprising, as I usually prefer a more natural taste. As a fish enthusiast, I could easily buy black cod from Whole Foods and air fry it for a fraction of the price, and enjoy it more."
