"Chef Maria Loi, a celebrity chef of the Martha Stewart variety in Greece, opened up Loi Estiatorio in 2015 after shuttering her UWS restaurant, Loi, the previous year. Prices are slightly higher than most of the city’s Greek joints, with entrees ringing in around $40; don’t miss the strong selection of seafood dishes, like salt-baked fish for two, and of range of classic Greek spreads, and more. Loi also puts a Greek spin on dishes like ravioli (filled with mint- and dill-seasoned meatballs) and salmon tartare (with shredded phyllo in the mix). Many dishes use ingredients from Loi’s own line of products, including pasta and yogurt. The compact, white-walled space has a curved bar and dark wood throughout." - Alexandra Ilyashov
