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.
The main courses were spotless and the desert was to die for.
Very sadly I forgot to ask the name of the person who served us. I hope if you read this and you remember us (a young couple seated at the window table last Tuesday) you’ll be able to know that your service made our evening even better.
I don’t have plans to come to NY again soon, however, when I do, I know that I will be coming to Loring Place.
The food is an Californian / American cuisine where you have a mixture of great appetizer concoctions, fabulous salads, creative pizzas, and a solid variety of main course. There is no theme other than probably what came to the chef’s mind. The Fall Seasonal menu had a generous mix of butternut squash and chili infused into many of its dishes. Again, no dish was simply mainstream but also not overly complicated. And each one of them definitely had a perspective. The chef doesn’t just play it safe, but rather chooses to test you if you dare. And you are handsomely rewarded for it. The list of ingredients may raise your eyebrows but soon all is understood as you spread the flavors in your mouth.
Pretty much everything was phenomenal. The ricotta cheese with butternut squash was wonderful and paired amazingly with the sour dough bread. The salad was rock solid and this slice of chili really added a welcome twist. The Date pizza was such a joy while the short ribs was soft and succulent. All the dishes were absolutely made with care, just like the decor, just like the service.
Loring Place is a joyful place. It’s not boring, yet it wants to be subdued for all the right reasons. This is a place where you can come over and over again, knowing you’ll have a good time, but not worry about the superficiality of trying to be fancy.
Everything is right here. Go enjoy.
We started with the butternut fries, which were tempura-like and accompanied by a wonderful lemon aioli. Followed by the scrumptious ricotta dip and grilled bread, with many tantalizing flavors. After that, the delicata pizza, the grilled broccoli and the mushroom bolognese. Every one of the dishes a taste delight, although I will say that the bolognese wasn’t our favorite of the night — perhaps because we were overstuffed at that point.
I absolutely recommend dining at LP, and will definitely return myself!
The menu changes every season but always hits the mark while being inventive. The broccoli and shaved brussel sprout salads are great appetizers; their pizzas are creative (like the date pizza and the brussel sprouts pizza) and surprisingly good. And the burger w/ fries is reliably great. Cocktails are equally well executed. Nothing but praise for the team and the food, it’s what makes us keep coming back time after time.
Unlike many other restaurants around the village, the space at Loring Place feels polished and spacious. Overall, Loring Place manages to be refined without pretension and dependable without being predictable. It’s just a great place because of its attention to detail and genuine hospitality.
Huge recommendation for everything we tried:
– zucchini fries
– baked ricotta
– roasted short rib
– bbq chicken
– cookies
The corn that came with bbq chicken was out of this world. We will attempt to recreate it at home lol
Thank you for making our anniversary so special ❤️
One of the things we appreciate most is the thoughtful, balanced menu. Our daughter is Vegan. While my wife and I are not, it’s important for us to find a restaurant that celebrates vegetables without sacrificing variety. Loring Place does exactly that, offering seasonal dishes that are fresh, creative, and satisfying for every palate.
The cocktails are another highlight—expertly crafted, well-balanced, and often featuring seasonal ingredients that complement the food beautifully. The wine list is equally impressive, with a well-curated selection that offers something for every taste and pairs wonderfully with the diverse menu.
With its ever-evolving offerings and consistently excellent service, Loring Place remains one of our favorite dining destinations. We highly recommend it!
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!
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.
