Selene

Tucked into SoHo, Selene brings contemporary coastal Greek cooking to a space that’s as pretty as it is lively. The kitchen works with fresh seafood, bright citrus, wild herbs, and olive oil—elemental flavors shaped by sea and land. Named for the moon’s quiet glow, the restaurant seeks balance and clarity in its dishes, which blend Greek heritage with a modern touch. Diners are quick to praise the scallops, lemon potatoes, and oysters (the latter reportedly huge), and the staff earn frequent shoutouts for their warmth and attentiveness, even accommodating dietary restrictions with grace. The room itself is a stunner, with Greek-inspired decor that sets the stage for an energetic, social evening—think young professionals unwinding after work. It’s a place built for connection, where the table and the conversation are meant to be shared.
