Pylos

eww la la. everything was fantastic. I see lots of complaints about the service, but I personally thought the service was above and beyond. But this place is good. I was just there tuesday. And it was busy. i mean come'on its tuesday. Good for them they deserve it.

The appetizers were better than the main dishes. The service was subpar, with the waitstaff confused, not familiar with the menu and trained to rush you. Too bad because the decor was great and the location is terrific. Unfortunately, we will not be going back.

I've now been to Pylos 2-3 times. We've been frustrated everytime at the mediocre quality of the wines, all of which are wildly overpriced for what they are. Whenever I mention this to friends who have been there, they agree - but complaints seem to get us nowhere. And unfortunately beer is not the best match for Greek food...

There are too many great restaurants to endure the rushed and rude service. I live in the neighborhood and have been many times. I've stopped recommending it.

I've been to Pylos twice and I don't think I'll be returning for a while. The food is good, not great but solid and the price point is fair. The problem is with the service. Both times we were there our waiter forgot to bring dishes and drinks we ordered. They rush you through your meal so quickly its hard to enjoy yourself. A better trained more refined staff would go a long way here!

Went to Pylos for lunch randomly on a Wednesday. Though one other party was seated at the time we arrived, we were the only diners in the restaurant for most of our meal. The setting and decor were really pleasant, especially because the doors were open and it was a beautiful day. The grilled salmon and grilled shrimp were both very good (albeit expensive) and came with excellent fried potatoes. And the taramosalata was a good lunch starter. The issue was the service. As I said before, we were the only diners in the restaurant for most of the meal. We ordered exactly three items: taramosalata, grilled shrimp and grilled salmon. Shortly after placing our order, the waiter brought us some warm bread, presumably for the taramosalata. The taramosalata did not arrive, however, until we "reminded" the waiter 15 minutes later that we had ordered it. He had "forgotten." By that time, the pita was cold. (Again--we were the only party in the restaurant at the time.) In addition, the salmon and shrimp came out very slowly. And the restaurant phone rang very loudly the whole time. We thought the waiter might try to make up for his mistake regarding the taramosalata (by, for example, giving us a dessert or not charging us for the taramosalata), but he did nothing. When you go to an expensive restaurant (make no mistake: Pylos is expensive), and you're the only people there, there is no excuse for "messing up" an order. I liked the food at Pylos, but the service was too lazy. Given the hundreds of awesome restaurants New York has to offer, there is no reason to choose a place with such poor service.

Went there last night with some friends (second time to pylos). The place has a nice, intimate decor, service is polite and not pushy, food is quite excellent. Would recommend for good greek food or as a good date place. Will go back again. The only "negative" so to speak are the wines - not to keen on the greek wine selection they have (which is quite pricey too) but this is not necessarily their fault.
