Named after the turn-of-the-century French novelist, Pierre Loti Union Square offers an extensive menu of European wines. French varietals dominate the offerings, but the selection includes a healthy mix of other regions and grapes (Austria, Italy, and even Turkey make appearances). There are daily pocket-friendly specials, and each pour comes with a little extra in a fancy carafe. The wine-friendly food menu includes an impressive choice of cheeses and small plates ranging from Mediterranean dips, salads and a delectable choice of chocolates for dessert. Vibe-wise, the ultra-dim lighting ensures the place stays rife with snuggly couples as well as groups of friends looking for an enjoyable night out.

    The appetizers were better than main dishes. The lentil soup was very good. We expected mummara to be a warm appetizer, it was cold. The okra dish had little taste. The salmon was too salty.

    Warm and welcoming owners and space in a great location for Vineyard Theater and the area. Soft lighting, contemporary and comfortable chairs, classy bar, nicely spaced tables including half a dozen large hightops. Great drinks menu. The house Montepulciano (red) is among the best we've tasted. Happy Hour menu is extensive and well-priced, and portions of their Mediterranean fare are generous. Delicious baba ganoush, hummus, falafel, and lamb. We enjoyed it so much we returned after theater for light bites (assortment of three unusual and yummy bruschetta) and dessert. Never had a poached pear so large, and so delicious we ordered two! The larger part of the restaurant is undergoing renovations and that suited us fine. Highly recommend it!

    We have gone to Loti for years. The expansion of the restaurant side and menu is an added bonus to the establishment.

    It was quiet, and the service was great. It was a lunch time, not their busiest time. I loved the Manti and the Muhammara - both dishes I've had before. I would go again.
