We had such a nice night and the food was AMAZING–so fresh and authentic-tasting. The ambience was lovely and the service/drinks were impeccable. We'll definitely be back and recommending to others.
Best food in the neighborhood, very friendly staff that always try its best to accommodate.
Outstanding food and service!
So glad to see this wonderful restaurant making it during these trying times. Keep up the great work! We will be back strong this summer! The swordfish kabob is wonderful and I walk far for a great glass of Assyrtiko!
I have dined at Korali more than 20 times. The food and service are excellent. Fish is always fresh! If you really love high quality Greek food this is your place to go.
as always, great food, great service, good ambiance...so happy to ba backdoors. lovely place with tasty, yummy food, cooked with such care. delicate seafood, just yummy. great for a date night. ;)
Considering we were out on the sidewalk, they did a great job.
Always enjoy this restaurant. Lamb Chops and Branzino was excellent. Nice people there too. I’ll be back
Food was delicious, the service was great as well. Highly recommended.
Always delicious healthy Greek food and friendly service.
It’s a pricey place but worth it... great food and the Aphrodite drinks is great !!!
Dinner outside excellent - service and food every bit as good as before.
Delicious!
One of the best restaurants on the UES!
Great food!!! I ordered the steak and the Greek fries and they were delicious!
Dinner for 2 inside the restaurant. Felt safe. Protocols in place. Food and wine were delicious.
Wonderful restaurant! The owners and the staff are first rate and so accommodating! We love the food and restaurant is very warm and inviting
Love Korali's! The food is outstanding and the drinks superb! The staff is attentive and professional. One of my favorite restaurants in NYC.
This is a place my girlfriend and I go to often. And even while sitting inside which is a nice change with the colder temperatures the service was poor and the food mediocre at best and not hot whatsoever. In terms of the service we had to ask the wisdom if there were specials, which there ended up to be which the customer should never have to ask for. Furthermore we had to ask how the fish was even prepare. He showed little enthusiasm, did not ask how our appetizer was or entree and was quite short with us. We like to keep going to our favorite spots in hopes that our little part will keep them in business but this was a serious disappointment at a place we have never had a bad meal or service.
Octopus dry steak over cooked ambient ok to over priced
Outside dining, set up nicely outside table with candle and social distancing.
Love the food, wonderful service, a very favorite neighborhood spot. We frequent often.
Very good food, though it has become notably overpriced for the neighborhood since their NY TIME review! Service good if a little pushy at times. Nice precautions taken for the outdoor seating. Still a very good 'event" destination.
Good experience
We opted to eat outside, despite the lovely decor indoors. The staff were all super-helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed a very good meal!
Love the Manager of restaurant and the food but the waiter was not friendly, seemed annoyed and marred the overall positive experience.
We love this restaurant. we often meet our friends there for a social evening with delicious food. The food is delicious and always consistently so. The service is very friendly and good. They are trying to work with outside dining. It is difficult to have a quiet dinner with trucks going by, but they try to insulate their diners.
Nice outdoor street setup. Friendly and attentive service.
Wonderful version of mousaka and a good whole tasty branzino.
We'll go back.
Excellent Greek food, great friendly service. One of the best places on the UES
Lovely outdoor space and ambiance, this restaurant is doing a great job making the most of on-street dining. Felt like being in Athens. Food was delicious. Thank you!
Delicious food and very pleasant and quick service.
Great! Go there
Except for being a bit pricey,but this is Manhattan,Korali is consistently very good and I have ordered a variety of things.The restaurant is set up nicely for outdoor dining
Fantastic food every time- I never worry they are consistently excellent
I really enjoyed my dinner at Korali. I had the arugula and beet salad, the tsipoura with mashed potatoes, and the nutella mousse for dessert. Everything was delicious and the service was great. They have plenty of outdoor tables both on the sidewalk and in the street. A great option on the UES.
Really good and fresh Greek food with a variety of choices. Hard to talk about noise level and ambience as it is currently outside only. Service was friendly, prompt and safe. Food was absolutely delicious and good sized portions.
Didn’t like sitting so close to the garbage can on the sheet.
Great food, service, and ambience. The tables are kind of close together like most places in NYC but overall I like eating here. Never had a bad meal here.
Great food and service. Wine selection pricey, but to be expected in that neighborhood.
Our three-course lunch was delicious and well-priced. The wine selection by the glass was varied with numerous good choices. The food was well-prepared, the wait staff attentive and the decor soothing, we lacked for nothing. We had a lovely afternoon
Excellent food, attentive service and welcoming attitude .
The food is really fabulous here. Had the branzino and potatoes and romaine salad and raw oysters. Can't fault the food or service and ambience is great, especially for the UES. Only quibble are prices which are a little high. So $16 for a side salad and $35 for just fish (with no sides).
