Celebrate Valentine's Day With the One You Love and With Exactly What Your Little Heart Desires A La Carte Exclusively at @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos 52 Vanderbilt Avenue Directly West of Grand Central Terminal!

Nothing says love like a gorgeous dinner, and Ammos Estiatorio knows that love should not be pre-set: it's going to be A LA CARTE all night at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, just steps west of Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan!  This mecca of seafood excellence awaits you with the most romantic culinary pursuits imagined by founder and owner and authentic Greek native, Dimitris Nakos.
The a la carte philosophy is designed so you can personalize your dinner as you see fit: just as your little heart desires!
Here are a few items available to consider:
Intoxicatingly delicious, this aphrodisiac is crafted with tender steamed lobster pieces as the star of the show with fresh Florida orange segments luxuriating with the lobster in playful premium Greek yogurt and vividly vibrant cilantro.  This creation is finished with a citrus honey ginger emulsion and just the right drizzle touch of basil mint oil.  The lobster itself is sourced from the Great State of Maine.
Note that pictures are never edited. Your dinner will also look this spectacular!
Found under Main Courses, Tonos, the Greek word for tuna, steps out in its supreme elegance to capture not only your heart but also your appetite!  Crusted in fine herbs, this sensational Yellowfin Tuna will regale your tastebuds as it teams up with Saffron Carrot Puree, Sauteed Spinach, Mushrooms and Red Bell Pepper.  A lovely ginger soy cider vinaigrette gorgeously highlights this bounty of the sea and the garden, additionally surrounded by a halo of basil mint oil.
On Valentine's Day, why have one dessert when you can have two?
The traditional winning Baklava honors the holiday with its mixed nuts layered in phylo dough dipped in cinnamon honey syrup, and on the day we visited, Strawberry Ice Cream!  And if you are a proud never-recovering chocoholic like Peachy, you will always be happy with the ultimate in delectable: Chocolate Lava Cake, also with the  premium Strawberry Ice Cream.   
Raspberry Coulis seals the deal on both desserts, garnished with berries.
We'd say that Cupid has his arrow pointed to Ammos Estiatorio!
Ammos continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.
