Molyvos

The Livanos family created this soothing, highly appealing restaurant as a celebration of Greece. The location may sit squarely in busy Midtown, but the atmosphere is nautical and relaxed. Guests may start with a meze assortment of appetizers, such as tangy cheese in phyllo, tiny lamb meatballs, spinach pie or various dips with triangles of warm pita bread. Next, they might move on to delicious Greek dishes, such as lamb stewed in a clay pot or grilled fresh whole fish. Service is professional. Spacious and well-situated in the row of hotels between Central Park and Times Square, this crowd-pleasing eatery offers the appropriate atmosphere for both leisure travelers and business people.
