Noni was our server today and she made sure we were seated swiftly and taken care of from start to finish. The food was amazing and very flavorful. We ordered the french toast & 3 egg omelette. The seasoned home fries were delish!! The Prosecco was also fresh and bubbly too. 10/10 recommended for brunch
We’re visiting New York from Los Angeles, and this was the very first dinner of our trip — such a beautiful way to start our NYC nights.<br><br>Skinos truly stands out with its stunning interior. The entire space is filled with elegant floral arrangements that feel both romantic and thoughtfully designed — every corner is picture-perfect.<br><br>We ordered the seafood linguine, grilled octopus, branzino, lobster pasta, lava cake, and a piña colada. Everything was beautifully presented, and the seafood dishes in particular felt fresh and satisfying. The grilled octopus was tender with great flavor, and the lobster pasta was definitely a highlight.<br><br>Overall, the ambiance made the experience feel special — perfect for a memorable night in New York. Would recommend for anyone looking for a visually stunning dining spot with a romantic atmosphere.
I had brunch this morning at Skinos and it was absolutely incredible. I live only two blocks away and somehow had no idea how beautiful this place is inside. It truly feels like a little hidden gem in the neighborhood.<br>The atmosphere is stunning—bright, elegant, and welcoming. The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in, and everyone was so attentive and friendly. The food… wow. The baklava pancakes were unforgettable—perfectly sweet, fluffy, and unique. Easily one of the best brunch dishes I’ve had in a long time. I’m thrilled to have such an amazing spot just a 3-minute walk from home. If you’re in the area and looking for a beautiful brunch with fantastic food and service, this place is a must.

Georgia,<br><br>Hearing that our spot brought you joy and felt special right in your own neighborhood truly makes our day.<br><br>With appreciation, Skinos
An over-the-top private party, organizers booked both the main floor and second floor! Plenty of options to order from the bar on each level, enjoy standing, sitting or eating at tables. Delicious hors d’oeuvres, including seafood salad with chunks of crabmeat, shrimp cocktail, mini spanakopita, savory meatballs, and a full dinner buffet with sautéed sliced sirloin steak, chicken with peppers, moussaka, etc. and dessert trays with baklava, crème brûlée, strawberries and brownies. Great floral atmosphere with ambient lighting throughout! Super friendly staff and great chef!

came here for my birthday about 2 weeks ago & i love everything about this restaurant, the food, the service, the ambience and the wonderful waiter we had George! i was running a bit late on my reservation but they were nice enough to still accommodate me, 10/10
Boyfriend and I came here for Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was absolutely a scam. First of all, when the reservation was initially booked, they gave us the option to order from the regular menu rather than the Valentine’s Day prefix menu ( $195 per person ), so we decided to order from the regular menu. However, when we got there, the lady in charge told us we had to order from the prefix menu. If that was the case, why not make that NOTED on the website when booking?<br><br>The lady pretty much lied. We saw people ordering lamb chops, fried calamari, and lobster pasta ( all items that are NOT included on the prefix menu). I was so confused because why would you tell us we have to order from the Valentine’s Day menu, when other people are ordering from the regular menu? So that was a scam. I asked her how are these people getting those items and she said, “The kitchen is inconsistent and some dishes look similar. Lobster and squid look alike so they’re probably getting squid pasta that looks like the lobster pasta, which is on the prefix”. Like what? That was the worst excuse ever, mind you, lobster and squid do NOT look alike.<br><br>Other than that, the ambiance was way too loud, like it was almost like we were at a night club. The music that was being played was so.. odd. Of course, people are going to be loud, but the music was super irritating and my boyfriend thought the same. Like why do i wanna hear music abt popping your cat while eating dinner at a “nice restaurant” ? The only good things they played were the oldies. It was not a date night vibe at all, is skinos a club or restaurant? It’s obvious that they had a DJ which is no problem at all… but my point still stands.<br><br>Overall, I’ve been here before and enjoyed it that time, but this time it was just all over the place, we won’t be back. For $600, we could’ve gone somewhere else.
Skinos in NYC is officially one of my favorite spots! The lamb chops are an absolute 10/10… perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was chef’s kiss.<br><br>The service was just as impressive! Attentive, and welcoming. And let me tell you about the drinks… smooth, strong, and crafted so well that my long week instantly disappeared. Exactly what I needed.<br><br>I’ll definitely be back!!
Went here for my best friend’s birthday and it was such a great experience. We loved it. Food is really good, we got the chicken skewers. The staff was very attentive, very welcoming and friendly. George especially was great to us. There was live music and a DJ. Definitely come here if you want to hang with your friends at an aesthetic restaurant or even a birthday!
I went to Skinos for Valentine’s Day, and it was absolutely perfect. The best spot for a birthday or any special occasion, especially if you want to take pictures. The food was amazing from start to finish, but what truly made the night unforgettable was our server, Theoni was literally the sweetest. An all-around beautiful experience that I’d 100% recommend for a special night out.
I had such a great time at this cocktail class. Kiki was an amazing instructor, super knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely fun to learn from. She explained everything in a way that was easy to follow while still making it feel elevated and professional. The drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed but engaging, and I walked away actually feeling confident about making cocktails on my own. You can tell Kiki really loves what she does, and that energy made the whole experience even better. I’d 100% recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, interactive, and well-run experience.
This place is a WHOLE VIBE! The atmosphere and ambiance is top tier. The food was 👨🍳💋 I got the strawberry kiss as a cocktails which was my type of drink. Delish! I got the stuffed mushrooms for appetizer- very good but it didn't need so much cheese. The lamb chops were so good I couldn't stop eating them. OMG!!! Our server George was fabulous. Very attentive and knew the menu well. His recommendations were on point. Tonight was a girl friends date and we were cute. But on a romantic date....this is it! I'll definitely be back! !
This experience was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the vibe is amazing, warm, passionate, and party-themed. Noni my server was very attentive and patient. She was friendly and cheerful. The food was superb I got the Lambchops and grape leaves. Exquisite dining and very down-to-earth people. 11/10 for Skino’s
This experience was awesome! I took my girlfriend there for her 40th birthday. We went with the prefix menu, and the food was incredible – the drinks were made perfectly too. Our waitress, I can't remember her name unfortunately, was super warm and welcoming. She made sure all our needs were taken care of.<br><br>And the atmosphere? This place is SO nice! With all the beautiful flower decorations, it's like being in a garden up in the sky. We even got to watch a belly dancer, which was the icing on the cake.<br><br>We'll definitely be back!
We travelled from London to NYC and decided to go to Skinos for my birthday dinner. Skinos is a lovely restaurant with beautiful decor. The staff are very polite and very attentive. The cocktails were nice and the food we enjoyed. The only comment I have is the plain fries, they were not nice. Overall nice visit
