Psaraki, meaning “little fish” in Greek, is the creation of hospitality veteran, James Paloumbis who has assembled a team of chefs from Greece’s finest kitchens. The restaurant is designed to evoke the charm of seaside tavernas found along the shores of Greece.

With views of the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, guests can soak in the Manhattan skyline while unwinding with a cocktail and traditional Greek dishes.

The restaurant's signature presentation is the Fisherman’s Table Experience, a sampling of classic Greek dishes and Greek island favorites prepared from family recipes. The centerpiece of the open kitchen is a custom GRILLWORK wood-burning oven.

Mezze includes house-made tzatziki, spicy feta, tarama, and hummus araka; Horiatiki Salad; flambéed Saganaki cheese prepared tableside; and grandma’s Spanakopita. From the grill comes fresh Branzino, whole-grilled Octopus, and Calamari. There are also Seafood Towers filled with lobster, lump crab meat, jumbo shrimp, and oysters.

The restaurant’s namesake appetizer - Psaraki Fish Chips - are crispy Atherina (baby fish) served with fried onions and lemon presented wrapped in a paper cone. Other offerings include Calamari, fried or grilled, Pan-Seared Scallops atop a buckwheat salad, and Stuffed Meatballs filled with sundried tomato and feta with a paprika sauce.

Mains are cented on both land and sea with a prime cut Filet Mignon Souvlaki, grilled Lamb Chops, served with Greek fries, Vegetable Moussaka with bechamel sauce, Wood Grilled King Prawns with saffron rice, Lobster Pasta, and Fish Kebabs.

The rustic interior features wood-beam ceilings covered with bamboo, whitewashed stucco walls, white beach stones along the perimeter, and large marble tables built for comfort with expansive port windows serving up unbeatable views.

Psaraki is located adjacent to Domino Park in South Williamsburg at 420 Kent Ave, Brooklyn. For more information, visit https://www.psaraki.com/
