Who We Are
Meet Spiro and Buffy Dimas, the visionary power couple behind some of Long Island's most legendary dining establishments. Their journey into the culinary world started with the North Shore Tower Project, where they embarked on their quest for culinary excellence and unmatched hospitality.
The Old Westbury Diner, a quaint establishment that quickly became a beloved hotspot for locals, was the next big project for Spiro and Buffy. Through their unwavering passion for top-notch ingredients, generous portions, and welcoming service, Spiro and Buffy transformed the Old Westbury Diner into a cherished institution that attracted patrons from near and far.
Building on their early success, the dynamic duo expanded their culinary empire by acquiring the Williston Townhouse Diner, renowned for serving classic American comfort food. Embodying the spirit of the community, this diner became a treasured gathering place for families and friends, offering hearty meals and engaging conversations.
The latest feather in their cap is Plori, the hottest Greek restaurant on Long Island. Since its grand opening, Plori has enchanted discerning palates with its authentic Mediterranean flavors, innovative dishes, and stylish ambiance. This restaurant has quickly become the go-to destination for those craving a taste of Greece, where every bite tells a story, and every guest is treated like family.
Spiro and Buffy Dimas' relentless dedication to excellence, commitment to community, and passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences have redefined the culinary landscape of Long Island. Their restaurants stand as a testament to their unwavering vision, expertise, and pursuit of culinary perfection.
DINING AT PLORI
DRESS TO IMPRESS
Guest attire can elevate or diminish the experience of others. We consider baseball caps, flat brim hats, beanies, tank tops, flip flops, and team athletic attire too ‘casual’ for a space like this. Our service team takes pride in their appearance - and our dining room - and we ever so appreciatively ask our esteemed guests to do the same.
KIDS
Our restaurant offers an adult-focused dining experience that may not be ideal for young children. Families are welcome, but we ask that children remain at the table and that vocal youngsters be attended to outside the dining room. For a more comfortable visit with children, we recommend dining before 5:00pm.
DO YOU ALLOW CORKAGE?
Yes, one 750ml for two guests is allowed for $35, and two 750ml or one 1.5L are allowed for four or more guests for $70. The only exception is to wine we have on the list, which we kindly ask you to purchase from us.
