Korali Estiatorio 8.1
Upper East Side-Yorkville
Korali Estiatorio is a whitewashed Greek dining room opened in 2015 that leans into whole fish, mezze, and grilled meats in a setting meant for slower, more polished dinners. It’s the move when you want a proper sit-down Mediterranean meal on the Upper East Side with a real wine list and table service.
Must-Try Dishes: Grilled Octopus, Lamb Chops / Paidakia, Horiatiki Salad
