Loring Place is an amazing restaurant situated close to the NYU campus in the vibrant Greenwich Village area. The staff were friendly and welcoming and their hospitality fit the vibe of the restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best I’ve seen in New York City. I would 100% recommend this place and would visit again.

If you’re looking to avoid the tourist crowd and enjoy a classy night out, this fine dining spot is the perfect choice. With ample space for large groups, it’s great for special occasions or an elegant evening. The service is top-notch, and the food is so delicious that it’s well worth the splurge. I tried the Date Pizza, and it was a delightful surprise—an incredible balance of sweet and savory flavors. The atmosphere is just right, with low music that allows for easy conversation. The desserts were absolutely spot on—every bite was a treat! My friends ordered the salmon, and it was just as impressive, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It was my friend’s birthday, and the staff made it extra special by bringing out the dessert we ordered with a candle. Such a thoughtful touch!

Five stars all around. All dishes have well balanced flavors and textures. Great attention to detail. The menu has a good selection of seasonal dishes + classics. The Grandma pizza has a satisfying crispy crust. Baked ricotta is a MUST. It has been on the menu since Day 1 (ten years ago?). Butternut squash fries have fluffy on the inside with crispy shell. I don’t know what’s in the dipping sauce but it’s so unique and delicious. The Brussel sprouts salad looks simple but was just as good as the meat dishes; very well seasoned. Ambiance and service are both very welcoming and comfortable. And the best thing is that resys are not hard to get!

This was just an all round great restaurant! Nice modern and spacious design, friendly and attentive service, and a wonderful menu focused on seasonal ingredients. I started with a grilled strawberry and cherry tomato salad, seemingly simple but bursting with flavor. For the main, I had a sea bass with summer beans in a peach tomato sauce that was outstanding - perfectly cooked, a sprinkle of nuts on top providing a nice texture contrast, and all the great summer flavors really shining. The one letdown of the evening was dessert - the vanilla sundae didn’t really do it for me and looked premade. I won’t judge too harshly though - on a return visit I’d probably just go with one more of their appetizers, many of which sounded really good.

So happy with this restaurant! The dishes were plated in such delicate and detailed way, perfect for get you ready to get into all the flavors. The Grandma-style pizza is a must! And arrive just in time! Also it’s such a great place with an amazing staff and the perfect ambiance; the brunch bartender suggested the best cocktails keeping in mind my preferences about liquor. Definetly Loring Place continue show dishes full of flavor, color and an open invitation to come back for more.

Loring Place is my new favorite brunch spot! The food is fresh and flavorful, the space is bright and inviting, and the service is top-notch. Korra was so warm and made great recommendations. Can't wait to come back for dinner!

I went to this almost 10-year-old New American restaurant a while back with a few others, having passed by it numerous times as I used to go to Rasa, a Malaysian place just up the block. The inside was chic with the lighting slightly dark for photos, and the staff were friendly. I believe I had a glass of wine or perhaps a spritz, but I'm unsure. My appetizer was the Wood Grilled Broccoli Salad for $23, with orange, pistachios, and mint. The broccoli had a light char, a mildly smoky flavor, and a very mild sauce underneath. The bit of orange added citrus, and I liked the crunch from the pistachios. However, I think this would work a little better if the broccoli were cut into smaller pieces rather than one large stalk, as the textures would blend a bit better. Still, I liked it overall. If I recall correctly, another person had the Shaved Brussels Sprouts, and another had the Baked Ricotta, and both enjoyed their appetizers. That night, I decided not to have any meat or fish, unlike usual, and went with the Gemelli, a type of pasta. For $25, this was served with tomatoes, herbs, and lemon crumbs, which was a bit pricey for a plain pasta, but hey, it's the Village. Apparently, this pasta has been made with crab and chili before, which sounds a bit more substantial, but I'm presuming there would be a price difference if that were the case. The pasta was a bit past al dente for my liking, and it had a surprising amount of kick. It almost reminded me of an arrabbiata, though with tomato instead of the usual tomato sauce. Otherwise, the lemon crumbs added a unique and fun crunch, and overall, it was decent, but it felt a bit one-note, as the spice overpowered whatever other flavors there were. Another person had the same dish as me and wasn't a big fan due to its heat level. One of the other people had the $35 Skate "Fish & Chips," which came with three pretty big pieces of fish and a bunch of crunchy French fries, which were shared with a few others at the table. Another had one of their signature whole-wheat pizzas, the Grandma-Style, for $20, with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, which seemed like a decent portion for the price, and I would probably get that or a fancier pizza next time. This was a good neighborhood spot, and I can see why it's been around for as long as it as as the food is unique enough while remaining approachable. I wish I could give this place a 3.5, but since that rating doesn't exist, I'll bump it up a bit, as it is closer to a 4 than a 3. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place, but I would stop in again.

This is an above average spot but nothing worth rushing to. Burger was medium well even though we ordered medium, and the grandmas pizza was decent. The crudo/ceviche was probably the best thing on the menu. Seemed like they only had one person serving for lunch.

A gem of a restaurant in the heart of SoHo. This is an upscale establishment that in my opinion embodies the American New York food scene. The decor is clean and well spaced and in the evening when we went the place was buzzing so you will need a booking. It’s great a date with its romantic ambience or for small groups where table conversations and shared plates make for a memorable meal. The menu is rotating as it’s freshly sourced. The evening menu is eclectic and caters to all taste and especially if you have a fondness for a vegan diet. The starter of hummus with a freshly baked pita and baked ricotta cheese was exquisite. The salads were farm to table and perfectly dressed . I especially liked the kale salad and even the non kale fans on our table were converted. The large plates of maple seasoned chicken and short rib were juicy and tender. The home made pizzas came highly recommended but this was perhaps the one dish we were a little disappointed with. But all in all this was an 4.5/5 meal and I would return at a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

My family of four enjoyed Sunday brunch at Loring Place. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The food was delicious and prepared well. The pancakes were great, and the scrambled eggs were fantastic. The staff was attentive, and the restaurant decor was comfortable and nicely appointed. There were a few minor annoyances that I took issue with. The hot tea, orange pekoe, was not good at all, and the restaurant did not have any sugar substitutes, such as stevia. Lastly, we were charged an additional fee for "still" water, which was tap water. This was a new one for us.

Food was enjoyable - recommend the broccoli and cavatelli. Fish was ok. Short rib was serviceable. Service was not enjoyable. Do not recommend getting served by our waiter (white man with ponytail). He was incredibly lackluster.

OK experience but nothing to write home about. We tried the Olives, Beet Salad, Fries Asparagus, Burger, and Chicken and all were mostly average and/or pricey even for NYC. Service was good but the A/C was broken so we had to eat quickly and leave. In sum, we were looking for more flavor but left still chasing it.

Poor food and service all round. We ordered a selection of food including the kale and squash pizza - the kale came out completely burnt on top. We asked for a replacement and the manager just took the pizza back and did not replace. We had to ask for another kale pizza and they explicitly told us that we could not have the pizza done any other way (without burnt kale) so we had to compromise and ask for the pizza with no kale as we did not want the pizza to taste like carbon. We also ordered the brussel sprout pizza which also came out burnt (see pictures) but we felt awkward mentioning this as the servers were abrupt so we had to just eat it. Overall, not a great experience. Won't be coming back or recommending.
