    The food was absolutely amazing, and I would eat here again for that reason. Our service was a little uneven with no offer of a second glass of wine and a long lull before we got the check. Everyone was very friendly and positive about the restaurant when we did interact with them. It’s a small restaurant, and the party across from us was very loud, which made it difficult to hear one another and enjoy our evening. It’s just a risk that’s inherent due to the space. I’d say the food is worth it though! The lentil soup and mushroom barley soup are to die for, and the beet salad is fabulous.

    The food here is always simple and delicious, the branzino is to die for and the bean soups are hard to choose among, the Loi cheese spread is divine and you feel so sated and healthy after a meal here. Just the best, one of my favorite spots in NYC. Also the greek wines are superb.

    An ideal spot for pre-event dining for a Carnegie Hall or City Center performance. Food exceptionally good ( the grilled halloumi with honey better than we've had at other similarly upscale Greek restaurants) and serene, spare dining room very restful. We've always been fans of Maria Loi. She never disappoints!

    We enjoy the food and the service but only two things I find disappointing : both times we have eaten there the air conditioning not working and having fans blowing on you are not only not comfortable but not sufficient because I was perspiring throughout the dinner. The other disappointment is regarding two items on the menu we wanted to order we were told were unavailable. It’s not a huge menu which is fine but not okay not having some main featured item not being available. Service iwe feel is always impeccable and food ordered is always very good .

    An incredibly authentic and fantastic Mediterranean Greek cuisine synthesized by the master herself, Maria, who often appears on PBS broadcasts and is actually quite famous. What a treat best Greek food in my life. Prepared delicately masterfully and meditatively.
