Linda B., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 4, wrote, "Food and service were amazing! We were a family of four and shared four appetizers. Had the octopus beignets, crawfish-stuffed clams, and keftedes and barbecue shrimp. Hubby and I had the duck, unbelievably good. For dessert we shared the Portuguese custard tart, Greek yogurt parfait and chocolate mousse — all fantastic."

And Go B. wrote, "A fusion you don't see often: Greek and Cajun cuisine. Moderately priced dinner menu, generous portions. Enjoyed all the ordered dishes: Louisiana crawfish-stuffed clams, swordfish crudo, char-grilled bone-in ribeye and Portuguese custard tarts."

Rodos NYC is now open at 39 W. 24th St. from 5 p.m.-midnight daily
