Meraki Taverna - ARMONK

I 'm going to stop reviewing this place for a while after this one b c I 'm always going to say approximately the same thing. Meraki is consistently wonderful and has quickly become a mainstay. Our kids adore it. We adore it. It 's becoming hard for us to go anywhere else in the Armonk Mt. Kisco area. 1. The staff are top notch and could not be kinder, more attentive or more accommodating. Example: It was cool and rainy tonight. Few in their right minds would want to eat outdoors. Given that we are not in the right-mind demographic, we asked if we could eat in the covered tent area with our pup. The lights were off and tables were not set, but our incredibly kind server, Matt, and his colleagues were absolutely gracious about opening that area up for us and then having to trek out into the cold to bring us menus, food, water, etc... In the past, we 've also been lucky to experience the hospitality of a lovely, grandfatherly server. 2. Seafood is consistently pristine, with branzino, dorade, fagri, or other whole fish beautifully grilled broiled with lots of herbs, served with lemon and butter and a side (either horta or spinach for me usually). Calamari are tender and served with a lovely chickpea salad. Our kids BEG to go here for the children 's menu, which I agree is probably the best children 's menu I 've seen anywhere. They usually order the Zeus or Athena, which are healthy, vegetable-balanced chicken gyros and pita-wrapped souvlaki, respectively, served with round fries that are sliced to uneven thicknesses and air fried or roasted so that the thin parts become fabulously crisp and the thicker parts remain tender and delicious. Fries that are both crisp and tender at the same time and non-greasy... these are mind blowingly good, y 'all. 3. I 've really enjoyed exploring the Greek wines on Meraki 's brief, but well curated list. The Boutari (winery) Xinomavro (grape) from Naoussa (wine growing region) is very easy drinking and red fruit forward without being jammy, goes well with everything from moussaka and imam to rabbit stifado. Surprisingly, it doesn 't clash with dorado. 4. Prices are better than reasonable in our view, especially if you consider the quality. It 's seldom that we all fall in love with the same restaurant as we have with Meraki. But after quite a number of meals there within the span of just a few months, we are hooked. And we 'll be back! (cue evil laughter)

Excellent cuisine! No wonderful Greek salad, very fresh. Outstanding grilled Bronzino. Very good service.

We started off with a bottle of Moschofilero, Boutari, Maninia as we enjoyed the hot fresh pita pieces dipped in fresh olive oil. Then we got the assorted cold spreads so we didn't miss anything to dip more pita pieces in. I ordered the mussels Saganaki for my main course with extra pita of course. My friend got the baby lamb chops with oven roasted lemon potatoes and steamed greens, Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was on point and the prices looked reasonable. Ample seating both inside and outside.

EXCELLENT GREEK FOOD. This is my favorite restaurant in Armonk to get takeout from. I prefer it to the numerous pizza places in town. My favorite dish here is the cold appetizer sampler. I like to get it as a main course with the pita. I get it both when I dine in and as takeout. The flavors are simply phenomenal, and the pitas are toasted to perfection. I'm a particular fan of the taramosalata- the caviar dip. I have also had the soups and the Greek salad. This place is a little pricier than the local competition, such as the Lefteris chain, but the food quality is much better. The ambiance is your typical nautical theme with Greek colors. I have never had issues with the service, and my family has had nice conversations with the servers on various occasions.

We randomly stopped here on our road trip. It was the happiest accident of the year. Food and service were outstanding. We wish we lived here so we could go all the time!! Thank you for making our day.
