Bringing the coastal spirit of the Mediterranean to Long Island, Plori Restaurant in Carle Place, NY, offers an upscale yet approachable dining experience rooted in fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and elegant presentation. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in refined cuisine, Plori is a standout destination for lovers of modern Greek and Mediterranean fare.

The ambiance is bright, airy, and inviting - think crisp white walls, nautical touches, and warm lighting that reflects the relaxed luxury of a seaside taverna. The space feels both intimate and sophisticated, making it ideal for date nights, group gatherings, or weekend dining with family.

Plori’s menu focuses on elevated Mediterranean seafood and meat dishes, prepared with simplicity and skill. To start, the grilled octopus is a must - perfectly charred, tender, and served over a bed of fava or citrusy greens. Another standout is the saganaki - pan-seared cheese with lemon that’s both rich and satisfying.

For mains, the whole lavraki (branzino) is a showstopper. Expertly deboned and grilled, it’s light, flaky, and seasoned just enough to let the freshness of the fish shine. The lamb chops are equally impressive - juicy, herb-marinated, and charred to perfection. Vegetarian options like the gemista (stuffed peppers and tomatoes) round out the menu with comforting, traditional flavors.

The drinks list includes a well-curated wine selection, with Greek and Mediterranean varietals that pair beautifully with the food. Their craft cocktails—like the Plori Spritz or a Mastiha Mojito - add a refreshing twist to the experience.
