Mykonian House — Restaurant in New York

PLEASE Stop using perfume laundry soap for your linens and use unscented. The Napkins strongly smell of Laundry Soap Fragrance which is Terrible. The bread comes wrapped in it perfume smelling napkins, disgusting. Obviously the tablecloth too, it's so bad. The food is good but I can't come back. I googled why restaurants use unscented laundry soap and here is what I found: Restaurants prioritize guest experience and food safety when selecting laundry detergents for their linens. Here's why fragrance-free detergents are generally preferred: Minimizing Scent Interference: The primary reason is to avoid conflicting or overpowering scents that could interfere with the aroma and taste of the food served. Diners' perceptions of flavor are heavily influenced by smell, and strong detergent fragrances can distract from or even negatively impact the culinary experience. Accommodating Sensitivities and Allergies: Many individuals have fragrance sensitivities or allergies that can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, or breathing difficulties. Using unscented products minimizes the risk of triggering such reactions among staff and customers. Focusing on Cleanliness, Not Cover-Ups: Fragrances are often used to mask odors rather than eliminate them. Unscented detergents, on the other hand, are designed to focus on effective cleaning and odor removal, leaving linens truly clean without lingering smells. Protecting Fabric Quality: Some believe that heavily scented detergents with dyes and harsh chemicals may be rougher on fabrics, potentially causing fading and premature wear. Unscented options can be gentler, potentially extending the lifespan of linens. Meeting Expectations: Guests in fine dining and upscale establishments often associate the use of unscented linens with professionalism and attention to detail, indicating a commitment to providing the best possible dining experience. In summary, restaurants choose fragrance-free laundry detergents to ensure that the dining experience is focused on the food, guests with sensitivities are comfortable, and linens are cleaned...

We regularly dine at other Greek restaurants but wanted to try this cute little restaurant. Service was fine but they, like the kitchen, must be new to seafood in an odd way

The chips lacked salt but the saganaki was good. I ordered the head-on shrimp and my son had the lobster and asked for buttered pasta instead of the tomato sauce for our mains. The lobster came and the shell was still raw. I called over our server and she took the plate for 5 seconds before coming back to tell me that the shell is brown because of the butter. What? Every shellfish on the planet turned red when cooked. No amount of butter would make it turn brown and look raw! (See pics). The lobster meat was rubbery and flavorless and the buttered noodles? They added cherry tomatoes. lol. My son left almost all of it and the server didn’t even care to ask why.

My shrimp was butterflied obviously thrown in a broiler. The problem is the bottom was uncooked and was still cool to touch. The rest of our party seemed to like their food enough. For dessert, we ordered the fruit plate like we do at Milos. For $22, we received flavorless barely ripe fruit.

$400 later, we all left underwhelmed with our dinner. We won’t be back and...

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The service was absolutely disgraceful. Bread — a basic part of the meal — was only brought after we had finished eating, and only because I had to ask for it. Unbelievable.

I also ordered the Greek fries, which came with no sauce. When I asked if any sauce was available, the server pretended not to understand me — claiming my pronunciation of “sauce” wasn’t clear. Only after I said “like ketchup” did she suddenly go, “Ohhh, sauce~” and then asked me what kind of sauce I wanted — without offering any explanation of what was available. And even then, she just brought out ketchup. That was it. No effort, no communication, nothing.

To make matters worse, the female servers — including one Indian staff member — were shockingly rude and completely unprofessional. From the very beginning, their attitude was hostile, dismissive, and disrespectful.

And frankly, the way we were treated felt undeniably racially motivated. This wasn’t just poor service — it was blatant discrimination. Disgusting and shameful.

If you value even the most basic sense of decency and respect, stay far away...
