Skorpios is a modern Greek upscale seafood bar & grill located on a prime block right off 5th ave near Rockefeller Center. Restaurateur Lamia Funti, behind Lamia’s Fish Market, opened Skorpios with chef Loannis “Yiannis” Chatiris. Heavily focused on fresh seafood we feasted on grilled octopus, whole branzino, traditional greek spreads and free range chicken. Paired with regional wines and cocktails, Skorpios is a must visit this fall.
