Gus's Place

Best ""home made"" authentic Greek food in NYC. Pros: Greek food that is Great for your palet, your body, your spirit and your wallet! more

This was my first time in Gus' and it was a quaint place, it has all the makings of a cute little place. There was excellent service and I had a waitress who took the time to explain different dishes. For starters they gave a whole wheat pita bread with a butter and feta cheese spread which is absolutely delicious. The appetizers were excellent and I highly recommend the zucchini fritters and spinach pie. Also, my girlfriend really wanted stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) and we asked for a plate of them even though it wasn't on the menu they still put a plate together for us. If you're interested in wine they have a very large selection of greek wines in addition to some australian wines. Many of the wines are very fruity and smooth tasting. For dinner my girlfriend had Gus' Greek salad which had such great seasoning and fresh feta, it was amazing. I ordered the mousaka and was amazed by the great taste of it. It was so good I wanted to eat it slow and savor it. My girlfriend doesn't like lamb, yet she liked the mousaka. Dessert was excellent. We had chocolate baclava which was out of this world delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone. more

I was delighted to return to Gus's Place and have honestly missed the authentic and amazingly delicious food-Aveglomena soup is the best! My friends and I ordered numerous small plates and of course the soup. We savored each one of them-the salmon in phyllo melted in our mouths, the spanokopita (spinach pie) was feta-licious, the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) were served warm and surrounded by a luscious sauce and the warm goat cheese salad was wholesome and scumptous. The waitress was knowledgeable, personable and allowed my friends and I the privacy we needed to enjoy our pre-theatre dinner. We topped it all off with a piece of ravini-almond cake and left the restaurant vowing to return and return to continue sampling new dishes and repeating the small dishes we ate tonight--( the soup is the best anywhere!) Welcome back Gus and Sheran- you were sorely missed! Pros: food food food /service/location Cons: can't think of any more

I was in here recently and had an excellent dining expierence. The atmotsphere was very relaxing and enjoyable. The feta was very fresh along with with great selection of wine that was offered. The fish was very fresh as well. I will be back in the summer when the weather gets warmer so i can sit outside. Pros: Fresh fish more

Its like walking into Greece. The people are extremely nice and seating is cozy. I went one of the first days the restaurant opened and the service was great as well as the food. The only dish i don't recommend is the fried calamari it wasn't my favorite, but the Greak salad was the best I've ever had. I've been to a lot of Greek places this was far the best price and food wise. more
