#SensationalSalad #2025 PeachysPicks #AmmosEstiatorio @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos Leads the Way with the FIRST Repeat Performance in our Newest Hottest Freshest Culinary, Column, Sensational Salads! #HAPPYBIRTHDAY #DIMITRISNAKOS !!!!
Surf's up for your appetite! It's prime time SUMMER and everyone knows we love Ammos Estiatorio and Ammos means sand in Greek so it's time to hit the virtual beach on 52 Vanderbilt Avenue for drumroll please, the first repeat feature in Sensational Salads!
There are three salad choices and four protein choices, all charcoal grilled to premium perfection.
We begin with Salata a la Dimitri, which obviously was created by Founder, Owner and Executive Chef Dimitris Nakos. Dry figs, mixed berries, Greek honey, assorted nuts and spring mix greens are a revelation among the dusting of Garlic Balsamic Vinaigrette. We chose to add chicken which was grilled to its juiciest glory and was a brilliant addition.
Horiatiki is a Traditional Greek Salad, and Athens Native Dimitris Nakos has crafted a winner! We chose to add delightful grilled octopus to up the wow factor. Vine-ripened tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives with no pit, red onion and bell peppers team up with barrel-aged feta and all luxuriate with authentic oregano sourced from fresh Mount Taygetos and evoo. A beacon of freshness, it is sure to ignite your appetite!
Pantzaria Carpaccio is Peachy's personal favorite at the moment and expertly sliced thin-cut golden and red beets marvelously dance in a shallot vinaigrette which is just the right touch. The real star of the show however is the intoxicatingly sublime Pistachio Yogurt that perches upon it with panache. The grilled salmon was a total culinary triumph and Peachy's favorite protein. The verdict is that Ammos Estiatorio sensationally serves the freshest, most ingenious salads that are the very quintessence of the brilliant summer season.
If you see Dimitris wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON JULY 4TH!
Not only will you see Dimitris's smiling face along with all your favorite staff this season, but also you will see his talented son George who is a fabulous addition to the Nakos Hospitality team this summer.
Ammos Estiatorio continues to earn our Highest Recommendation, and remember they have been a Peachy's Pick since 2011.
