A restored downtown heritage atrium where soaring marble makes charred octopus feel like a civic event.
Hydra Estiatorio has solved the 'where should we go' problem for the indecisive couple by placing the answer inside a heritage tower atrium with soaring ceilings and marble everywhere, so even if you order wrong, the room will cover for you. The Aegean menu is confident and classic: whole grilled fish filleted tableside (quietly one of the best moments you can watch in a restaurant), charred octopus, lamb chops, and dips you will drag bread through until the bread is just an excuse. It is a genuinely romantic room, which means two things: dress a notch up, and accept that this is the event, not the warm-up to one. Book the dinner service, arrive with something to celebrate or invent something on the walk in, and let the theatre of the atrium do the heavy lifting.
