I was impressed by their goat cheese spread, it was delicious. You can get three spreads for $29 or one for $12. I had three of them including one with eggplant and the other was hummus (the three were very filling for one person), they are served with pita bread. The eggplant one was light in flavor and the hummus had a moderate flavor strength, which I liked much more than the eggplant one. On another visit there I had their meatballs, as well as an order of stuffed grape leaves. Both were light in flavor. On another visit I had their whole grilled sardines which I did not care for. The restaurant is at 402 West 43rd Street, just off the corner of 9th Avenue. It is opposite the theater where the comedy called Little Shop of Horrors is playing in the Westside Theater. In addition to the restaurant's indoor dining, they offer a large pleasant outdoor dining area.

My friends and I were excited to try Greek cuisine at Molyvos in Hell’s Kitchen, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment in every possible way. The location was great, but the food and service did not live up to expectations.Our appetizers were unremarkable, lacking both taste and presentation. Our main courses were equally underwhelming—my fish was overcooked, smothered in a strange sauce, and lacked flavor. One of my friends ordered moussaka, which turned out to be a bowl of bland ground beef, not at all resembling authentic Greek moussaka.My other friend ordered a chicken dish, but the potatoes tasted like they had been reheated after sitting in the refrigerator, leaving them dry and starchy. The chicken was also overcooked and soaked in a lemon sauce.We decided not to order dessert to avoid further disappointment. The service was just okay, with no warm welcome or exceptional care.I believe the entire kitchen staff needs to go back to the basics of cooking, front needs to get better training as well.We will not go back there again, it was a wasted money and experience.

Our brunch reservation was set for 11:30 on a Saturday which is when the restaurant opens. The weather was horrible, but they have what appears to be a nice outdoor patio to enjoy when the weather is good.The restaurant is very bright and inviting. The wine walls and plates on the wall create a cozy, classy space. It’s also quite spacious compared to many restaurants in the city.We started with mimosas, I ordered the regular bottomless and my companion had the blood orange. During brunch, the server routinely brought more mimosas for me. I appreciated not having to ask or wait as sometimes is the case, especially with a bottomless offering.I started with the avegolemeno soup. It was a bit heavy on the lemon side and lacked a bit of substance. There was a bit of chicken in it, but largely was broth more than anything. My companion had tuna tartare which was plated beautifully and she really enjoyed. This was served along with fresh pita that was still warm from the oven. It was delicious and being it was fresh helped round out the meal.For our main courses, I chose the lamb sliders and ordered two poached eggs on the side. It wasn’t on the menu but they happily accommodated. The lamb was rich and tender and topped with a light bit of garnish. I asked for the yogurt dressing on the side and it also came with fries that were house cut and lightly salted. This plate was very tasty and I would definitely recommend. It was a bit hard to eat with your hands so I mostly ate the meat given I had a lot of pita already. My companion had the omelette. The omelette came on a bed of greens and a block of feta. It looked perfectly cooked and was tender and fluffy as it was tasty.For dessert, we had the Molyvos Sundae. This was a bit of a trick to eat as it came in a phyllo dough bowl with ice cream in the middle, whipped cream and a halva topping (tastes like cotton candy) all drizzled with honey. It was essentially the flavors of baklava in a sundae and I would absolutely suggest you save room for it.Helpful reviews? Check us out on IG @jjluxtravel

We had a delicious Easter dinner at Molyvos. We opted for the prix fixe three course dinner with wine pairing. Everything was fantastic, from the Easter soup and beet salad to the lamb and dessert. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable, making excellent suggestions for wine pairings. Although this wasn't our first time here, it was nice to see a restaurant serve the same quality of food on a busy holiday as they do regularly. Highly recommend!
