• Greek • Williamsburg
Psaraki, meaning “little fish” in Greek, is the creation of longtime hospitality veteran James Paloumbis. The restaurant evokes the charm of seaside tavernas found along the shores of Greece. It offers spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, and the Williamsburg Bridge, juxtaposing the tranquility of its serene ambiance with the vibrant energy of nearby Manhattan. Psaraki is a place to unwind, enjoy a perfect cocktail, and savor traditional homemade Greek dishes meant for sharing while escaping NYC's hustle and bustle. Psaraki’s menu is inspired by James’ culinary philosophy, which he terms “homemade”, where each dish is a testament to the authenticity and connection of family recipes, traditionally prepared and presented as if one was a visitor in James’s seaside home. Guests can enjoy a sampling of classic Greek dishes and a selection of Greek island favorites.

    We had a great meal at Psaraki! And the food was fantastic. The dips were amazing and the warm pita was perfect. We loved the Greek salad. And the fresh grilled fish was some of the best we have had in NYC. It's authentic and delicious and possibly our new favorite Greek restaurant in NYC. Also try the scallops and the lamb chops! Well done, Psaraki!

    The food was great. My husband had the steak, and I had the shrimp prawns special. I would have appreciated that the description of the prawns included that they were heads on. Although the prawns were excellent, I’m not a fan of heads-on shrimp. In the least, you can ask the server to mention it.

    My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.

    Staff was very friendly and joyful. Food and drinks were great. The music wasn't as loud as I anticipated, assuming it was because it wasn't too busy. No complaints.
