Nerina, a new Greek restaurant in Greenpoint, is owned by Christos Gourmos and Spiro Menegatos, who aim to offer authentic Greek flavors in a neighborhood lacking such dining options. The restaurant features a mezze-style menu designed for sharing, showcasing seafood delights like striped bass crudo and lobster orzo, alongside popular dishes such as grilled octopus and chicken lemonato. The laid-back ambiance attracts families, while an all-Greek wine list complements the vibrant meal offerings. The owners emphasize their culinary inspiration from their Greek heritage and the warm meals prepared by their mothers.
We wanted to expand into a neighborhood area, because we felt it would offset the different kind of peak times that we experienced in Midtown.
Nerina, which comes from the Greek word neros, meaning sea, offers several seafood delights including striped bass crudo and lobster orzo.
We both [were] raised by Greek moms that always cooked for us at home... We know the flavors. We know what we like.
The environment is a lot more laid back than their Midtown location, attracting local families.
