Fodor's Expert Review Kokkari Estiatorio
$$$$
Financial District
Greek
Satisfy your craving for outstanding Greek taverna food—albeit at luxe steak house prices—from a dizzying selection of mezes such as stuffed grape leaves to main courses that showcase Athenian standards like moussaka, lemon-oregano chicken, and grilled lamb chops. There’s a lively after-work scene in this chic farmhouse setting with wood-beamed ceilings, a roaring wood oven, and candlelight. Service is doting for its many well-heeled regulars (but tends to be less so for other guests).
