very happy with ETHOS
We've lived in the neighborhood for years but only ate there once before. Decided to try it again last night for our anniversary dinner. The other reviews were so-so but it is always full so we wanted to see how it was. Overall the meal and service were excellent. We got there at 7:30 pm and by the time we left, there were people waiting to get it. The place was packed and a little noisy. Everyone was enjoying themselves, laughing and talking and eating. The service was great--refilled our water glasses and wine glasses right away, the food arrived steaming hot, the waiter quickly removed empty plates. The food was very good and seasoned really well. We had the grilled octopus app which was so tender and fresh. I had the moussaka--very good and a huge portion. He had the whole grilled fish, also very fresh and delicious. They were giving all the diners complementary dessert last night--a very yummy custard-filled pastry. Overall we enjoyed the meal and the restaurant and we will definitely go back again.

Good
This isn't the best Greek restaurant I've been to in NY, but it is good . The charcoal grilled chicken was very good, simple but flavorful. The shrimp garides saganaki was also tasty. They were out of several appetitzers the day we ate there which was disappointing, but everything we had was quite good. Worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Great Time, Great Food
I am Greek, and recently decided to try this restaurant with some of my friends. I was not dissapointed, the food was wonderful, service was on point and we had a great time. Everyones food was delicious and tasted just like Greek food should. Definitely get the Fish, its worth the extra money, mine was perfectly seasoned. We got the salad and while it was definitely not Greek (as Greek salad has no lettuce, only tomatoes), it was still pretty good. They even give you olive bread in the bread basket (along w/Pita). While it can be a bit noisy, I dont know why everyone is complaining, I had a great time and will definitely be back!

Horrible service undercut our experience.
Horrible service undercut our experience. Server was not only rude, but hurried us out despite the fact that we had a reservation. They slammed plateware and sliverware down, and might as well have thrown the food at us. When we finished our entree the server brought the bill and said "you didn't want any coffee or dessert right? (as I hand you the check)!" I heard this was a great place for greek but really it's a place to be shoved around. This is especially disappointing because it was my recommendation and first time I met my boyfriend's boss and colleagues. Having to apologize for the horrible recommendation and bad service is no way to get started off on the right foot for business dinners or even a night out with friends.

Not Greek Salad
I ate at Ethos for the first time with a friend last night. I live in the neighborhood but hadn't eaten here yet. Though the rest of our meal was great, DO NOT order the greek salad. Just putting greek cheese on tomatoes and scraps of lettuce does not constitute a true greek salad. Aside from not being authentic, it was not good at all. That being said, the dips, spanakopita and the rest of our meal was great! I'll definitely go back, just not for a salad.

Surprisingly great!
I live in the neighborhood and eat at Ethos often. From the outside, it's not a place I'd choose if I didn't live close by, but is worth traveling to. It's also very crowded and noisy. That said, it's some of the best food you'll get--my favorite is the grilled octopus on salad greens--their greens are organic--and the octopus very hot, just off the grill, and very tender--and extremely reasonably priced. A quality of food you'd expect in a much more upscale restaurant.
