Absolutely loved it here!!! Not overcrowded- they do take reservations which is great and it's a beautiful view!! Food was good and reasonably priced. Got the burger and hot honey pepperoni pizza. Lemon drop martini was one of the best and the service was AWESOME. They were sooo nice here. Totally recommend if you want a smaller spot away from the chaos that's still worth it.

Excellent, I already rated you on Open Table & posted pictures... I forgot to hit to send to Sea Shore, City Island. Hopefully, you will be able to see it...We had a wonderful experience...The Fall Specials were Amazing, Our waitress Luz was a pleasure & knew how to do her job & kudos to the bus boys...we came from NJ & it will NOT be our last. The complimentary platter of red crispy peppers, mushrooms, olives & cheeses was so kind & generous, hope you do not do away with it, really enjoyed it along with the delicious 😋 breads... How long will you offer the Fall Specials??? The 9oz Lobster tail was the best I ever had & the Soups had loads of clams, very generous...Your ambience along with everyone smiling was a welcome mat. The music 🎶 in the background was relaxing & pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit to City Island from NJ. Thank you fou your hospitality. FYI... Our Titos & Expresso Martini's were perfect...

Greek

Williamsburg

About the restaurant

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.
