Great Greek Restaurant... probably one of the best.

It is the best greek food I had in NY so far. The food is delicately tasty, the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. I enjoyed a lot the very tender lamb in my moussaka. I also appreciated the service with the accent and the smile. Good place to go, the wine list is interesting too. I had a riesling Grand Cru from Domaines Schlumberger and it was outstanding.

I guess that's a little strong. The food is quite good. (The menu is almost identical to Periyali.) But retsina isn't on the menu (although you can ask for it). The tatziki is only so-so. The food portions overall are too big. If you order an appetizer and a main course, it becomes too much, and forget about dessert. My recommendation is to order two appetizers, for example, the large tomato and feta salad, and maybe the octopus, or spreads. But the surroundings are pleasant enough, and the help helpful.

When Dovetail and Persephone opened, my friend asked me which one I would rather try. I chose Persephone. Not entirely wise. The meal was fine (the presentation was a little off-putting, but the food itself tasted good), the service was fine, but we were seated in what is best described as an "annex," which was both cold and right next to the bathroom. I would go back, although now I know to ask to be seated IN the restaurant.
