Loi Estiatorio is in our opinion the best restaurant in New York City. We ate here three times during our 5 night stay in the city. The food is not only delicious, the presentation is also a feast for the eyes. Every single bite we had was incredible. Just have to add, several famous celebrities we spotted eating here. The roasted lemon potatoes, grape leaves, grilled octopus, assorted Greek cheeses, and eggplant was the best we’ve ever eaten. The Branzino fish especially, surpassed any fish dish I’ve ever had. Everything is organic and portions served are large. The Loi olive oil is truly amazing. The staff is very professional. The Chef Maria Loi is discreetly present with an eye for everything and comes by every table to say hello. Real food, real people, very affordable and our new TOP FAVORITE restaurant in NYC. Highly recommended.

The Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves were great but the stuffed eggplant was either reheated or overdone. The other eggplant dish was very rich yet you couldn’t taste the meat. All in all was just ok. Service and wine were great

Wonderful food. We ate early to get a reservation and really enjoyed the food. Excellent Greek wine complemented the food well. The mussels were very fresh in a really tasty both, and there were a lot of them. Grilled calamari was a pleasant change from the fried stuff. Desserts were superb, particularly the walnut cake. Only quibble was noise from a jackhammer still working nearby because we went early. Made us feel like we were back in Crete. The only thing missing was the raki.

Loi Estiatorio is a consistently excellent restaurant. The Bronzino is perfectly cooked every time which is a delight. All other dishes meet a high standard of excellence. The desserts are superb especially the Greek yogurt. Maria's presence in the dining room adds an air of authenticity and warmth as she is both of these things and more. Because of the incredible dining scene in Manhattan, we return to only a few restaurants and Loi is definitely one of the few. Keep up the great work!

Was sat at 7:30, ten minutes passed and were never greeted. I had to call a server over. She was great though! I also arrived a half hour early and stood by the bar. No one once asked if I’d like a drink while I was waiting. The food and everything else was very good.

We so much enjoyed our time back to dine!! The staff was so kind, Alex was very hospitable & generous. The staff is professional & knowledgeable about the menus. Our whole experience is always reliable & enjoyable!! In fact, we just moved (visiting from another state) and… ironically, we met our neighbors whom we barley knew (from across the street) AT the restaurant!! Apparently, it’s a great & fantastic place to be!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the stuffed eggplant & Greek lasagna. Every bite was so very delicious. The waiter suggested the right wine pairings with our dish. Loved that the wines they served were only Greek wines. Their fresh pita bread & corn bread was excellent. Loved the yogurt dish at the end to cleanse the palate. Thank you for a memorable dinner!

WE had the branzino which was flavorful fish but flat on the preparation. Chicken soup was also good but needed a bit more seasoning, In general all the dishes needed more zest. Wine list limited to greek wines only, most of which are not great.
