Notable Picks

$$$ Forest Hills Mediterranean
A more upscale Greek dining room that leans mezze-forward with a polished cocktail-and-raw-bar vibe, best used for a paced, shareable meal. The strongest order is two dips or cold starters, one hot appetizer, then one grill or fish main to finish without the table getting muddy.
Must-Try Dishes: Lamb chops, Grilled calamari, Mezze spreads (dips)
What makes it special: Polished Greek mezze-and-grill dining with a cocktail-friendly room.

Worthy Picks

$ Forest Hills Mediterranean
A modern Mediterranean-leaning nightlife room where food is part of the experience, not the whole point—best approached as a shared-plates-and-drinks night. Order a tight set of starters and one main dish to match the vibe, then let the room do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes: Mediterranean mezze platter, Grilled branzino-style fish, Crispy calamari
What makes it special: A nightlife-forward Mediterranean room where ambiance carries the night.
$$ Forest Hills Mediterranean
A chef-driven, kosher Mediterranean room that reads like a lounge and event-friendly dining space, with a menu that spans grilled meats and richer, banquet-style mains. It’s best when you keep the order centered on one standout kebab or grilled plate plus a couple of bright sides so the meal doesn’t feel overly heavy.
Must-Try Dishes: Mixed kebab platter, Grilled steak skewer, Fresh chopped salad
What makes it special: Kosher, chef-led Mediterranean with a celebration-ready dining-room format.
