Food is 5 star. Service is 5 stars. Everything is appropriate for a 5 star rating … except… one thing…. When I bring a special bottle of wine in for my birthday… don’t charge me $45 for a corking fee! $10 is standard. $25 is upper tier… $45 is stupid. Seriously that’s my only complaint. I go to Christos because it is superb quality. I am fine with paying more for high quality. But $45 for a corking fee… not reasonable.

We had a great meal at Psaraki! And the food was fantastic. The dips were amazing and the warm pita was perfect. We loved the Greek salad. And the fresh grilled fish was some of the best we have had in NYC. It's authentic and delicious and possibly our new favorite Greek restaurant in NYC. Also try the scallops and the lamb chops! Well done, Psaraki!
