Nothing really wrong, but not as good as expected from the many positive reviews. Very fast service. Too fast: 40’ for appetizers and main course. The appetizer were very good, but the main course quite disappointing. Especially the Greek flagship: the moussaka. It was not...wrong, but also nothing special. Easier to find better version in a fast food.More

I really wanted to love it. But the Greek wine was very weak and underwhelming and the Greek olive oil had no taste. The octopus was just OK.

This place was an overall amazing dining experience. The most important aspect that made this place special was the owner. He was working the restaurant the entire time. You could tell he cared deeply about the restaurant and the customers enjoying the experience. The second...most important thing was the food was incredible. Delicious Mediterranean food. A good sign that everything was good was the fact that we had 4 of us at the table sharing all the food and with each course every person had different favorite dishes. We argued which dishes were better the entire meal. It was very enjoyable experience. Atmosphere was quaint but not too stuffy. Felt very comfortable.More

Excellent food and service. Really enjoyable experience whilst visiting NYC with family. My only criticism would be that the place is noisy but this is a sign of the fact that it was busy and everyone appeared to be have a great time. Just difficult...to hear each other at times.More

I love this place.....a trip to NYC without dinner at Molyvos, is a disappointment. Make your trip great and dinner fantastic at Molyvos. This is a consistent, five-star restaurant. The food is outstanding. They had to move from the previous location. The location. Is more...intimate and has a wonderful ambiance,. Though near times square, Molyvos is tucked in at the corner of 43rd St., and ninth Avenue. There is no Bronzino in New York that compares to theirs. The manager runs a smooth, efficient and conscientious staff. I never go to New York without taking a long walk down ninth Avenue to get the wonderful food that Molyvos offers. If you’re going to see a play you can go before or after. You won’t be sorry. This is the best the city has to offer!!!!More

We had a wonderful early dinner, Molyvos is perfectly located for pre-or post theater visits. It was a beautiful warm late October day, so we were able to be seated outside. The outdoor area is absolutely lovely, there are heaters and shade coverings in case...it is a hot summer day. The service and food were top-notch. we especially appreciated the friendly and thoughtful service. It was attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return!More

Everything about this Greek restaurant was superb. The delicious Greek cuisine (octopus, calamari, salads, lamb chops, fish, domaldes) and the Greek wine- just exquisite. The decor is so classy and elegant, and the service and management impeccable. We will definitely return and can’t wait!!

The cucumber melon soup was amazing!!! I was intrigued by the "orange " wine, because I like to explore. We also had red snapper and dolmades. The pita and olive oil were deliciously flavored. Dessert of almond orange cake, berries with (real!!) Greek yogurt, speckled...with vanilla beans. Outdoor seating was lovely. Service also fantastic! And, did I mention the soup???More

There is no better place to dine in New York City. I have been going to Molyvos for years and I always look forward to it this time I had the scallops and the only way I could describe them is perfect. Usually I get...octopus and the bronzing but it was close to closing time. I needed something sweet, but with no sugar and there’s strawberry yogurt with pistachios is wonderful. This is very close to the theater district and it’s open till 10 on weekdays. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Even the manager is great and you can’t beat Malyvos for food. Ambience and service. I love itMore

Our hotel concierge (Marriott Pulse) recommended Molyvos to us and we are glad she did! We had reservation and were quickly greeted and seated. The menu had so many tempting choices but we finally settled on grilled octopus, mitilini meatballs and skordalia (a garlicy potato...spread for pita bread. The octopus was the best we have had since we visited Greece! The meatballs were excellent, too. This was our first time having skordalia but it certainly won't be the last! Love the atmosphere here and we had excellent service from Nawfal. We are looking forward to a return visit.More

Beautiful decor and very good food but overpriced. E.g., $17 for 5 single-bite dolmades (smallest I’ve ever seen). We had 1 glass of wine per person, no dessert and bill came to over $100 per person pre-tip. Did not appreciate bus staff pushing bottles of...water on us even when we requested tap. If price is a consideration, avoid appetizers, stick with mains and insist on tap water even if staff pretends not to understand.More

Great little restaurant not far from Times Square, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The food was delicious, no complaints from us! Probably more than I would like to have paid, however guessing that’s New York Prices!
