Beautiful and delicious dinner! Loved everything we ordered! Favorites were the butternut squash fries, broccoli salad, ricotta cavatelli and the short ribs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Experienced Loring Place on the recommendation of friends and left slightly disappointed with the cuisine being very good, but certainly not memorable in any way or worthy of a return engagement.

The ambiance and service were good, but we found the proportion sizes to be very small, especially for the price. Our food (brussels sprouts salad, pizza and chicken breast) was okay but not great. Also, I asked the server if I could add chicken breast to my brussels sprouts salad, and she informed me there are no substitutions. Many restaurants offer this as an add on for an additional price, which is a nice offering that this restaurant could consider for future diners. Finally, our party of three ended up eating a second dinner about an hour after we left this restaurant because we were hungry.

We were looking for somewhere that sold good vegetarian food but also family friendly options. This does and the veggie food was good but didn't blow us away. My son said his pizza was OK but nothing special and the Grandmas pizza in my opinion was burnt and generally poor. The staff were lovely and very attentive but this is an expensive place and for the money I have to say that I expected more.

I enjoyed my lunch here but it was not memorable. Is it worth a try? Yes, With so many other new places to try I don’t know if I’ll be rushing back but it was enjoyable,

We got delivery pizza to our apt. Beside a missing Beet Salad from the order, the pizza are still hot and the mushroom pie was exceptionally good and of course the free ice cream that comes with every pie you order only for the weekend.

Found this restaurant in walking distance from Washington Square Park. Lively place with tables close together (indoors - it was too hot to sit out). Locally sourced interesting tasty food. Also had a tutored flight of NY State Ciders from the maker - not a bit like UK ones I can say! Manhattan prices apply.

We are huge fans of Loring Place, and we were stoked to get have more pizza options from Dan Kluger - this time available for delivery! Unfortunately, the delivery system has some major kinks to sort out. We ordered at 5:15 and were given a 6:00 delivery estimate. The pizzas actually arrived just after 7:15, by which point they were cold and soggy. Compared to the pizzas at Loring Place - which are incredible - these were decidedly average in terms of ingredients and preparation. I am not hating on either cold or average pizza; but given the cachet attached to the operation and the price point, these needed to be better.

This is a New American restaurant in the West Village. We ate outdoors, which was a pleasant experience because the street was pretty quiet. All of our food was excellent, the cocktails were strong and service was first rate.

We enjoyed an early Saturday dinner and were seated without a reservation. Our server was friendly and helpful. Our two small plates were fantastic—baked ricotta and charred broccoli. The entree of Arctic char wasn’t great, however, and was overly fishy. The almond cake dessert was good, but really the highlight was the tiny dash of honey lemon gelato on top. Everything was SUPER EXPENSIVE. For the price, everything had to be super to merit 5 stars—but not everything was. Tiny soft drinks were $5, with each refill another $5. So we enjoyed our experience and had some good food, but also some sticker shock.

Really enjoyed the outdoor dining at Loring Place. Excellent squash pizza! Wine list was solid. Staff was kind.

Went with a close friend for dinner. From the moment you enter you know it's going to be good. The service - friendly, professional and attentive (without being pushy). The setting - classy, chic and done with taste. Feel - happening without being too loud (I could actually talk with the person at my table), warm, special place. The food - I confess I was dubious on some of the dishes but could not fine one that disappointed. Bar - well stocked (but not over stocked), nice setting and vibe. This is one of my new favorite places. New York is Back!

Mushroom pizza and ham & cheese pizza were phenomenal!

Had salads and pizza with drinks. Very good bar although food is pricey as is everything in NYC. Drinks are $16 and 4 slice pizza around $20 but really good.

I've been dining at Loring since 2017 and have not been slightly disappointed once. BEST RESTAURANT IN NEW YORK, period! The menu keeps changing to best adapt to the current season so they really use the freshest ingredients (right now you must have the strawberry and tomatoes salad!). The service is impeccable: kind and attentive. MUST GO!!!! I look forward to trying che Dan's new restaurant too, Penny Bridge.
