• business dinner

  We had a business dinner there last. Maria came out to speak to our group. She was very warm and welcoming. They are the winner of the "Sofi" award which means they are the best Greek food in NYC. I would agree. We had a "set menu" since our group was large but everything was so good. The eggplant Parmesan and the spanakopita were off the charts and the baklava was really good too. I'd highly recommend this gem.

• corporate team dinner

  What a wonderful evening! Our Tom Ford Beauty team had dinner here last night, and everything was exceptional. The food was beautifully prepared, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly outstanding. A very special thank you to Loi, Escaterio, Maria, and Alex for making our evening so memorable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, genuine warmth, and hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome from beginning to end. It’s rare to find a team that works together so seamlessly while making every guest feel special. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return! Love Keke

• birthday party, party of 15

  My husband planned my birthday party here! They were able to accommodate 15 of us at the last minute (we had our wedding that week so didn’t even try to plan the birthday party until a few days before). Everything was perfect!!! The owner, Maria, was so gracious and sweet to us. She made sure everyone was having a good time and we definitely were! Food was delicious and of the highest quality. Nothing cooked in butter, only olive oil and the fish comes from Greece! I’m still dreaming about that salmon tartar. We had too many sides and ended up taking home a bunch of boxes of fava beans I believe and ate them over the next few days and were so happy to keep eating them even days later! We will definitely be back here many, many more times!

• colleagues dinner

  I recently had dinner at Loi Estiatorio New York with a group of colleagues. We were all impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. For appetizers, we shared the grilled cheese and stuffed eggplant. The grilled cheese was perfectly melted and had a crispy exterior. The stuffed eggplant was flavorful and filling, and the For our main course, I ordered the mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were cooked perfectly and were so flavorful that we didn't even need any bread to soak up the sauce. The service at Loi Estiatorio was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure that we had everything we needed and that our food was cooked to our liking. The atmosphere at Loi Estiatorio is warm and inviting. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional Greek style, with white tablecloths and blue accents.

• family event

  Our recent family event here was a delight, delicious from start to finish. Attentive, friendly staff delivered course after course of freshly sourced Greek offerings - creamy spreads, crisp salads (a beet with light, mild manouri the family favorite), perfect grape leaves, elegantly served soups, traditional entrees (the fish en papillote a gem) - and desserts too good to pass up (the flourless chocolate cake laced with Loi olive oil a must). A memorable night in every way...
