Came here to celebrate Valentine's Day with my wife. Had a dinner reservation and had our coats checked and seated promptly. The folks working at the front were friendly and personable. Service after we were seated was friendly with check ins done routinely.Food was overall good. It was the V-Day course menu. My favorites were the lobster pasta and the steak which were well prepared. There was some variability between the courses coming out including times when it was almost immediate and then when it took quite a while before the steak was served. I do understand that the kitchen was probably busy with the special day but was something we noticed.Vibes were cute for V-Day with pedals and intimate lighting. Would be curious to come back to try their menu on a typical day.

-First Impression- Very intimate environment, would be great for a date (or a so date like I did lol)-Food- Lots of flavor! I ordered the meatballs, which were so tender I almost didn't need to cut them. Also had the lobster linguine, which was delicious, and the sauce tiniest bit sweet. I ordered a dark and stormy to drink which had me a little tipsy after only half the glass, lol-Service- Miguel was very attentive and sweet :)-Price- It's a pretty fancy restaurant so it's priced according to that-Did Not Like- N/A-Recommend- For sure

Excellent Greek food, we had a holiday party there earlier in December in their private event space. They accommodated our dietary restrictions with ease, and the entire staff was friendly, prompt, and super helpful. Do not hesitate to consider nerai for a small dinner or private event!

Had the pleasure of meeting with one of my bestie this evening and had a wonderful time. We were pleasantly greeted at the door by 2 lovely hostesses Hanna and Andrea. It was nice to have a restaurant with complimentary coat check! The decor was absolutely gorgeous and definitely sets the tone for elagant dining. Once seated we had the pleasure of being served by Ali. He recommended some very good starters and drinks. Ali also before taking our order asked about any food allergies. Although we don't have any that was very thoughtful and isn't asked enough in other establishments I've been too. Ali and the wait staff were excellent. Super attentive and always kept our water glasses filled. The apps were delicious but that poached lobster with the squid ink pasta is to die for, a must have. Our food was hot upon arrival and did not disappoint. I will definitely be returning here for a nice date night with my hubby! Thank you again to Ali and the wait staff and hostesses Hanna and Andrea for your hospitality and a very lovely dining experience!!!! You all rock!

My friend and I stopped by Nerai a while back for celebratory desserts. Their chocolate cake was rich and light!! There was more mousse than actual cake but we still loved it! From looking at their most recent menu it looks like they don't have the all the time. Definitely ask about it when you're there!

My boyfriend made a reservation for Valentine's Day. They had a prefix menu for $140/person for 4 courses. Each course had two options. The menu was heavily fish based with only one meat option in the 3rd course. They decorated beautifully with lots of lights, candles and rose petals on the steps leading up to the 2nd floor and on the tables. Our server was fantastic; very warm and genuinely wanting to make sure we had a great experience. He gave each female a rose at the end of the meal and a small box of treats to bring home! I loved the sea bass app, the lobster pasta dish and the strawberry mouse dessert. The scallop dish was good but I didn't care for the paprika sauce they were served in. The chocolate crepe for dessert was pretty average, not something I'd order again. We opted not to get any drinks (glasses of wine were pricey; more than $20 each) but they did have a som on site. Overall, lovely experience. Some of the dishes were better than others but I thought it was a good deal based on the price and the quality of the food. I'm not sure if I would come running back for their regular menu but they did a nice job for this occasion. This is definitely a spot for a special occasion dinner!

I had a vendor lunch here recently and it was a very nice experience, especially since it was going on their expense account! The restaurant itself is very nice...we sat upstairs and it had a light, airy almost tropical feel.Service was efficient and professional throughout. We felt well taken care of. The food was across the board excellent. We started with grilled octopus and kataifi shrimp. Both were great but the octopus was particularly great. For my main, I had the lavraki with a side of sauteed spinach. What a great, simple dish. The portion size was generous and it was perfectly prepared. I wish I could cook fish like this. We also got a side of lemon potatoes which were just okay.This is midtown and the prices reflect the location, so this is probably a place I wouldn't come by myself unless it was restaurant week. In short, great food, great service, nice atmosphere, but keep a fire extinguisher handy because your wallet may start melting after you pay for your meal.

Big fan of Nerai. We there a few times now but most recently did Christmas Eve dinner here with my fiance. Great ambiance for a date or a work dinner type place. Some of my favorite dishes include the two seafood pastas - one with lobster and squid ink and the other with calamari, mussels, etc. in orzo. Super fresh and tasty and filling. Other appetizers that were good include the Greek salad, zucchini chips, and grilled octopus. Pretty expansive selectionsof wine and main entrees. Big fan of the vidiano cretan white wine.Service was attentive and they brought out a Christmas cookie on the house.While this place may not be cheap, it definitely is a good spot to go for a night out if you're feeling on the fancier but not as crazy expensive as a Michelin restaurant side.
