   We have always been welcomed with open arms by the owners, Plus fabulous Eduardo and our #1 favorite waiter,Joe! The ambience is beautiful… very festive for the holidays! It does get noisy on the weekends; however you can sit at tables that are not as noisy on the upper level of the restaurant. I ordered Chilean sea bass and it was delicious, moist and very tasty. Our friends loved their meals as well… and devoured the eggplant chips as our appetizer. If you haven’t been here I suggest you definitely try it… as it’s the sister restaurant to Kyma… don’t forget to order dessert… the walnut cake will melt in your mouth! We always look forward to dining at Symi!!

   Wonderful date night with my husband. The food was excellent. The octopus is by far the best I have ever had. The shrimp saganki is delicious, but it should automatically come with additional pita to eat all of the leftover sauce ;) My husband had the pork chop and after his first bite, he looked like he'd gone to heaven. I had the diver scallops, which were perfectly cooked, and the truffles being shaved at the table was a nice touch. Our waitress was excellent. It was a great dinner. It's our 3rd time here. It never disappoints.

   Symi Continues to Amaze! Today, we found ourselves back at Symi, and once again, it did not disappoint! Honestly, I think I might be addicted to their incredible food and drinks—LOL. My friend and I enjoyed a delightful dinner, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely delicious. We decided to order several appetizers ( pikilia trio, sesame feta, Symi chips), one main course ( Salmon), a couple of cocktails ( Fig mojito and coffee martini) and of course, desserts. Every single dish blew us away with its quality and flavor. The cheesecake and Greek yogurt? Pure perfection—mmmmmm! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is consistently exceptional. It’s such a joy to have a classic Greek restaurant like this in our Long Island neighborhood. I’ve already asked my daughter to book a table for our next mother-daughter outing. Symi is truly a gem! If I could rate it 100 out of 10, I would. Highly recommended! Yelena

   First time here. Greeted & seated promptly. Julia our server was fabulous. Courteous, professional, attentive but not intrusive. The Symi chips are very addictive. Could have just had that for dinner. We had lamb chops and the shrimp dish. Both prepared perfectly. Baklava for dessert was the perfect evening. Will definitely come back.

   Absolutely Wow! I first came to Symi when I attended a family members birthday dinner and was blown away by the amazingly fresh and impressive seafood towers, octopus cooked to perfection, their signature dips (hands down the best tzatziki I’ve ever had!!), the filet Mignon literally melts in your mouth and you’re surround by a beautiful Fun and pristine atmosphere. I was so impressed that I quickly booked a date night dinner for my husband and I. Their ocean wave cocktail was perfection and delivered on presentation with the sugar cube on fire ! This time we shared the Symi chips, Greek salad and spanakopita for appetizers and split a lobster pasta for our entree. Every plate was better than the next! The staff regularly checked on us and overall was extremely attentive! After that I was excited to book a private event for my sons 1st birthday party (20 adults and 15 kids) . I worked with the amazing Irena who gave extremely honest suggestions curated for my party type and menu needs. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated !!! The birthday party exceeded my expectations, I’m still getting compliments from guests on how delicious everything was!! A special thank you to Irena, Mike, Eduardo, the talented chefs and attentive staff for making my event so special! It’s safe to say we will be coming back to Symi again and again!

   Arrived early to have drinks and checked in Fior 8pm res but it was about 1 hour past our reservation that we were finally seated with promises of 15 more minutes tables are getting up, not even offering to send us chips or anything at the bar we had to order ourselves and pay for them. Finally seated waitress and Service was very good. And food came out timely. Tuna tartare too salty to eat. Seafood halibut, special were good. Management should’ve checked on us and apologized maybe offered dessert or something won’t be returning
