We had the spanikopitas/spinach pies to start. I had the green soup which was yummy. Hubby had the Greek lasagna. Our friend and I both had the moussaka/eggplant casserole. Dessert was a homemade vanilla yogurt with nuts and honey.
Overall, a good spot for Greek food. The olive oil has just the spice you want, and the homemade cornbread (unusual) is a delight. The salad and octopus was also delicious. The branzino and mussels, though, were a bit underwhelming, and the lemon potatoes were crispy but not lemony at all. The chocolate dessert was solid. Good and friendly service!
We visited Loi restaurant during Christmas time. Chef Maria is a stunning personality, always there to welcome you and make you feel like home. The food is excellent, and the tastes are all very unique and fresh and all have Maria's signature.
Thank you so much, Maria.

We had a great time! The food is fresh and healthy. The soups are yummy. The service is exceptional!!!
My husband and I discovered Loi by accident during a previous trip this year. When we returned to NYC with our children over Christmas break, we made sure to visit Loi again. To our great surprise, chef Loi was present during our dinner time visit. Not only is she a talented culinary expert, but a compassionate, inspiring, authentic individual as well. Meeting her was the highlight of our trip! A special thanks to Alex for keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Loi will always be a must-stop on our NYC itenerary.
Lovely Mediterranean food, cozy inside or outside seating. All of the classic flavors and dishes just like I hate on Greece, the octopus over Fava beans was my favorite
Lovely experience. We were tired and hungry , and this restaurant just felt like home for us. Delicious cuisine, warm atmosphere.
We went to this restaurant based on the recommendation of a family friend (Vasos) he was so right that Loi would become my new favorite New York City restaurant. I would suggest making a reservation because it’s definitely popular and now I know why. If you care about Service eating here will make you feel like you are with your extended family. The staff could not do enough for us. The food was absolutely delicious starting with spreads - Pakilia. The meal was delicious with very generous portions. I had the shrimp and pasta and wish I could get this type of food in the south where I live now. Maybe Maria the owner will read this and open another restaurant closer to me!
It seems like it would be the perfect date night or family night out restaurant, cannot wait to return. Thanks for making it a special evening!
Can't show the food because it was so good we couldn't stop eating.
This is real Greek food as opposed to Greek Street food. I have not been able to get bone marrow soup in decades. Where I live even getting cremini mushrooms is difficult.
Maria suggested the branding saying it was fresh. What an understatement!
You must visit Loi Estiatorio. It is near Central Park and Carnegie Hall.
Delicious Greek food. The halloumi was tender and perfectly cooked. I had lamb shanks, which fell off the bone and was butter soft. Excellent wine and wonderful desserts. I’m gluten-free and they were very helpful in making sure that I stayed away from gluten.
