"I 'm going to stop reviewing this place for a while after this one b c I 'm always going to say approximately the same thing. Meraki is consistently wonderful and has quickly become a mainstay. Our kids adore it. We adore it. It 's becoming hard for us to go anywhere else in the Armonk Mt. Kisco area. 1. The staff are top notch and could not be kinder, more attentive or more accommodating. Example: It was cool and rainy tonight. Few in their right minds would want to eat outdoors. Given that we are not in the right-mind demographic, we asked if we could eat in the covered tent area with our pup. The lights were off and tables were not set, but our incredibly kind server, Matt, and his colleagues were absolutely gracious about opening that area up for us and then having to trek out into the cold to bring us menus, food, water, etc... In the past, we 've also been lucky to experience the hospitality of a lovely, grandfatherly server. 2. Seafood is consistently pristine, with branzino, dorade, fagri, or other whole fish beautifully grilled broiled with lots of herbs, served with lemon and butter and a side (either horta or spinach for me usually). Calamari are tender and served with a lovely chickpea salad. Our kids BEG to go here for the children 's menu, which I agree is probably the best children 's menu I 've seen anywhere. They usually order the Zeus or Athena, which are healthy, vegetable-balanced chicken gyros and pita-wrapped souvlaki, respectively, served with round fries that are sliced to uneven thicknesses and air fried or roasted so that the thin parts become fabulously crisp and the thicker parts remain tender and delicious. Fries that are both crisp and tender at the same time and non-greasy... these are mind blowingly good, y 'all. 3. I 've really enjoyed exploring the Greek wines on Meraki 's brief, but well curated list. The Boutari (winery) Xinomavro (grape) from Naoussa (wine growing region) is very easy drinking and red fruit forward without being jammy, goes well with everything from moussaka and imam to rabbit stifado. Surprisingly, it doesn 't clash with dorado. 4. Prices are better than reasonable in our view, especially if you consider the quality. It 's seldom that we all fall in love with the same restaurant as we have with Meraki. But after quite a number of meals there within the span of just a few months, we are hooked. And we 'll be back!

"The service, atmosphere and 99% of the food I have ordered at Stamna have always been fantastic. I've had two issues with them on take out/catering orders back to back weeks. Last week, I placed an order for a dinner party I was hosting, and among the order, we had 30 assorted souvlaki sticks (10 pork, 10 chicken, 10 shrimp). Everything was delicious except for the pork sticks which were incredibly tough and inedible. I did not complain as I am a regular at Stamna and they rarely if ever get it wrong. Last night, I was hosting another, smaller dinner party and ordered from Stamna. When the driver arrived, they had 1 bag in hand. I knew it was off because I was quite familiar with what I ordered. My guests were already hungry by this point. I contacted Stamna, and they advised that they had the other bag at their restaurant. In fairness, they did try to call me to advise me that a big was missing from the delivery, but, our calls must have missed each other. So, with only half the food here, I served our guests (a variety of different Greek salads, makarounes pastichio) all of which were delicious. The balance of the food (souvlaki sticks, assorted dips, pita breads, etc) arrived approximately 40 minutes later (Stamna did have one of their employees drive the other bag over) but by that point, we were done eating, and I just gave the food to my guests to take home. Luckily, my dinner guests were cool, but, I don't find either scenario acceptable. As previously mentioned, I am a regular at Stamna and they will continue to receive my business because they get it right 99% of the time, and in my opinion, are the best authentic Greek restaurant anywhere around this area, but, feedback is necessary."
