Pierre Loti Wine Bar

Solid charming place for a catchup over a drink or dinner around Union Square. There is always some place available on a week day after work. Inside is a bit too dark and winterish but outside seating is great.The service and food is good and prices are adequate.

Ironically, the non-Mediterranean dish (the tuna tartare, pictured) was much better than the Mediterranean ones (hummus; eggplant caviar; and in particular the chicken shish, which was too bland). The cocktails were OK but overpriced

Such a cute place. Perfect for private parties and date nights. Nice selection of wind and great appetizers. Mix appetizer plate was perfect due with a glass of wine at the bar. Great happy hour. Can’t wait to plan our corporate events there in the future.

Food was amazing! Appetizer and mains were excellent! Will definitely go back to try more from the menu. Mains did take longer to come, but the wait wasn’t too bad.

This place is perfect, theyve obviously been doing it well for a very long time. So relaxed that it feels like New Orleans and it really does. Plus all the little things have been considered and well delivered.First the seating - a huge Covid shack, warm and with comfortable seating, good for the colder months - sturdy tables, high tops and low tops. Next, sidewalk seating - airy and open, good for cocktails in the air on little, light white tables and chairs. Then the step down seating - still outside, but covered, warmer with huge leather seats and sturdy wooden tables, good for Fall and food. Finally theres indoors too which is cozy, warm and full of decorations.Now, the food was INCREDIBLE! Bruschetta was basically appetizer (tomato and basil) meal (mushroom and cheese) and dessert (honey, nuts and brie) on a plate; next the Turkish meatballs, also a full meal on a plate as it has fingerling potatoes and salad on top of the 5 meatballs. Finally the truffle and mushroom pizza was just gaga gooey delicious - and Cesar Salad just crispy and light and divine.The cocktails were incredible too!!! Serious, this place is just brilliant in all the subtle details and decisions. Old school New York brilliance (like 1800s old school). Definitely will come again

We were trying to grab drinks before we made it further uptown but everything seemed to be packed. As we were walking, we strolled past Pierre Loti and they said they could seat 5 in their parklet. Honestly, were very glad this worked out! It was not packed at all so we had a whole corner to ourselves.We got some apps for the table but more importatly we had several drinks all of which were very good. They have an impressive wine list and you cant go wrong there but the cocktails are also very good.The only downside was that they had a party inside and because of that, we found ourselves at some points waiting for water, or the check even.Still, worth a visit!

I loved my yellow jacket and red wine! The bartender was the best. Great atmosphere will come back!

Amazing sangria. Good fries.

Pierre Loti Wine Bar is misleading in its name, as it lacks a robust wine selection, offering a limited and unimpressive range. When I opted for a beer, it was disappointingly old and of poor quality. The Pilsner I ordered was particularly bad, arriving hazy and full of sediment. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations for a wine bar.

The service is always amazing and the food is so so good! I’ve become a regular here and it’s on the best street in nyc !

They offers an incredible selection of wines and a delicious Mediterranean-focused menu, and their Lamb Chops are a cant miss item.

Didn’t know what to expect or what I wanted, waiter was extremely helpful with recommendations. Really friendly and stunning food and wine.

Sal the bartender! What a gentleman… a real gem of a place! Stopped in randomly for happy hour and 10/10 recommend! Sat at the bar and Sal hooked us up!

Elegant yet simple joint offering yummy cocktails and lovely bites. Great mezcal concoctions 😌

Delicious food, delicious drinks and awesome staff!We stumbled upon this place and we’re going to have to go back every time we visit NYC. We ordered the grilled salmon, and I’ve been thinking about that salmon ever since!We arrived as a group of 2 with a baby and our group grew to 9 as the night continued. The staff was very accommodating and moved tables/chairs to fit us all. Thank you Pierre Loti staff for such a great night!

I had such great night !! Aziz and Ardi were the best helping us !! Had such a blast !! Thanks for the great night !!

I’ve been to Pierre Loti three times in a month, very telling! Food and drinks are amazing. Friendly and attentive staff. Very cozy ambiance, great spot for an intimate date night but also wonderful for larger parties, too. Definitely a must go place!

Came here for a quick bite to eat with the good ole fiancé, and we enjoyed a lot of the first (maybe second) dates we were surrounded by. This is definitely a good place for that. Drinks are not too expensive and they have a good selection of wines. The deviled eggs were interesting being warm. I sadly did not enjoy the old fashioned I got. It was too booze heavy; not balanced. Still would come here for a chill atmosphere

Terrific place for a quick drink/bite, (def a fun date spot) but between restaurant week and the cold weather keeping everyone inside, the noise level was a bit overwhelming. Id definitely go back, but during a less busy time of day or night.Props to the host who was on the ball, managed a slew of people arriving at the same time, and managed to seat everyone. Even without a reservation, I didnt feel belittled or pushed aside. He joked with me and I was happy to wait for a table (which was all of about 5 min).

Food tasted great, excellent presentation. Friendly and attentive staff. Very cozy ambiance with good music. Definitely a must go place!

We went for a Monday night dinner and for our week long NYC visit this was our best dining experience. Cocktails were original and tasted, food was great, I had braised lamb shank which was huge and perfectly prepared. The waiter was attentive, very helpful and very knowledgeable about food and our selections. Will put it on our list for our next visit.

Quality ingredients with generous portion but a miss with the taste. Lacking salt or flavoring. Cocktails are just ok. Attentive and welcoming service.

The food was very good. I started off with muammara dip which was roasted red pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic, walnut, and extra virgin olive oil and a hummus dip. Both very good. For my main dish I had lamb tandir. The lamb was very juicy and came with two sides. I had sautéed spinach and mix vegetables. All was good. The service was great. The ambiance was nice.

Only reason not 5 stars was because of a little high in price and server had to be chased down, each time needed. Seemed short staffed perhaps.

Delicious food. Gotta try the octopus.

First time here and it was great! The service was phenomenal, everyone is so attentive and friendly. The food was good, and the drinks were good too. Cozy environment, kind of a romantic vibe. Came during happy hour so it was definitely cheaper than if you come outside of happy hour but it’s worth it!

The culinary experience and service are exceptional. Ed and Ufuk are incredibly welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended!

Sal the bartender was great! Would def go back

Great service, wine, and bites. Nice seating options inside and out. I made a math error on my receipt that would have favorited them and they corrected it. Honest and upstanding place to enjoy some time at!

We had a fabulous dinner. Our server Erdi was wonderful. He helped us with the menu and suggested delicious wine. Strongly recommended.

Highly recommend! Service is attentive and friendly, the restaurant vibe is romantic and lively, plenty of seating outside, covered patio or inside. Plenty of variety on the menu. The tuna appetizer was excellent, pepperoone pizza was good. Make a reservation, enjoy!

Great happy hour! Sal was an amazing bartender very friendly! Will definitely be back

Pierre Loti was wonderful. It had a very chill vibe and ambience. The bruschetta and appetizers were delicious. The perfect place to have drinks and chill for a little bit!

Cocktails were delicious and truffle pizza hit the spot on a Saturday afternoon! I will be back soon! Service was amazing!!!

Excellent service and delicious food. We had chosen another restaurant to dine at, but being Christmas Eve, it was closed. We had walked by Pierre Loti and saw it was open and decided to try it out. We were warmly welcomed to a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. They specialize in wines, pages and pages of wines. We tried the mulled wine. Some of the best we have ever tasted. Not a lengthy menu but enough variety so each of us with a varied diet could enjoy a meal. We ordered veal meatballs and ravioli, all were excellent. Restroom was very clean.

Great service and food, food comes quickly, great environment, lots of food options and waiters know what they are talking about. Overall a great experience and will come back again in the near future.

Best place Ive tried in New York so far!!!! Ufti was amazing! The Grilled Octopus and Baklava were our favorite!! Must go !!

It was an amazing experience! i had a dinner with my friends and all i can say is that service, atmosphere, food, everything was wonderful! thanks to Ufti, we had the most wonderful appetizers and drinks. we’ll def be back again!❤️

Went here on a date and sat at the bar. Nice wine selection, good appetizers, friendly bartender. 4 star rating is because the bar is directly in front of the door and is cold to sit there for prolonged periods. Also, while the bruschetta tasted good, it was 3 huge pieces which were difficult to eat. I think it would be more manageable to make 6 smaller pieces. Tasted delicious though!

Best place Ive ever been. We had special night with my best friends. We had zucchini pancakes meze platter and adana kebab. Everything was delicious. Best service Ive ever had. Definitely will come back!!! Thank you🤍🤍🤍

Aziz is the best! Good vibes and a great bar! :)

Good wine, nice terrace with heat when its too cold. Very cool to be able to seat outside even on rainy/cold day for a glass of wine. Loved it.Only thing I would change is their happy hour time that finish at 6pm... (??!!) way too early.

Love this place and the atmosphere! Aziz and the rest of the staff are great!

Had a late (10:30) dinner there on Fri Aug 2nd 2024. Made reservation on the phone with Ed. Glad I did! He and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable & professional. Food & drinks were excellent. The hummus appetizer was outstanding. When you go there ask for Ed. Tell him Daniel sent you!

Only stopped for a drink but the service was great!

Manager Ufuk and all the other employees were great and of course the food was unbelievable… thank you

Came here on a Friday night with my friends for dinner. The food was amazing and the service was very attentive. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend it.

Great spot - Aziz the bartender is great and made our night

Update: we went back 2 weeks ago and the music was extremely high. We asked the waitress to lower the volume and she said she couldn’t and they don’t lower the volume.We moved outside where different music was play also very loud. We asked the waitress to lower the volume again and this time she snapped saying: we are a club and we can’t lower the music. We ended up walking outOld review: Great atmosphere and delicious food. Will come again, just turn down the volume of the music. It was so high when we got in that we almost walked out. I am glad we didn’t.

We loved the food. The brazilian waitress and the argentine host were super nice with us. We definitely will go there again!

We had an excellent experience, highly recommended… We will definitely be back ..

Cozy, intimate wine bar good for date night. Its dimly lit and has a great wine selection. Its hard to find some of the options that Pierre Loti has. Great cheese board, I mean totally awesome. One of the best cheese/charcuterie boards Ive had in a long time.Ive been twice and will definitely go back!

Ufuk was fantastic—great food and hospitality!

Great wine by the glass menu and good little bites to with it. We sat outside and it almost felt like a simmer evening in November.

Went on a busy Friday night to join with a group of friends and the staff found a way to add a table for us. They were friendly and attentive without being pushy and even double checked with us when we added tip on top of the gratuity

Love this bar and Omer was fantastic, as always

Exceptional bartender Phillip made me feel like family while pouring good wines at a decent Manhattan price. Highly recommend for service. Wine selection needs improvemt, but service delivers an enjoyable evening.

Just had my birthday party there…great food and service…definitely a fun night out!

This place is my recently favorite Turkish restaurant in the city. It’s serving traditional Turkish food in an elegant setting. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. Also ask for « raki » - they have it!

Great place for drinks, though the food was a bit unimaginative

First time eating here. Food was good. Service was not. Restaurant was just about empty but waiter was not attentive at all. Had to ask for refill of drink..had to ask for dessert menu…we were not asked how we were doing. Gave a 20% tip anyway

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy with tasty food and wine 👏👏👏👏👏

Server was rude and pretentious. Have a 10 year background is food service/hospitality management and Ive got better service at Applebees. Food was great though, had bruschetta sampler.

Great selection of wine. Mushroom truffled pizza was delicious !!!

Very happy to see the dividers and masks on the staff. We went early (at 530). Only 2 other tables full. Plenty of social distancing. Only using plastic cups right now, and menu is smaller, but I had an excellent French wine recommendation paired with the baked camenbert (and fig jam!) We chose this place because it had the most social distancing and best dividers between tables in our area. Very happy!

Stopped by for a quick glass of wine. Very quaint and great selection. We were the only ones there, but sorta felt like the wait staff was annoyed we were there.

A hidden Union Square gem. We love coming here for the great selection of cheeses, and the consistently delicious wine. There are two other locations in the city as well that are just as good.

We wandered in Saturday night 7 was a slow holiday...sat outside had a couple of nice plates and wine. Small, pleasant, low key. It was fine.

Extensive wine menu, love the snack menu also! A lot of cheese options that come with great raisin and nut bread, chocolate bonbons from jaques torres. Cute out door seating area. Will be back!

Great outdoor seating for people and dog watching, friendly staff, small but well thought-out menu, and of course, wine. Lots and lots of wine. Too much wine. Oy vey...

The best hummus i have ever tasted!!! The place is wonderful and cozy ☺️ and the people serving are so helpful and friendly! You should try once and then you would be the regulars!!💯✌️🤟

Fantastic Food, Drinks & Ambiance!By far the best Falafel I’ve had.

Good food for an afternoon meet-up.

We happened to walk by here and stop in for lunch. It was surprisingly pretty solid! I got the prosciutto arugula pizza and I was impressed. We were the only people in the restaurant, so the service was spectacular. It was a neat little find, certainly exceeded our expectations.

I like their food and peaceful atmosphere.

This place is absolutely amazing !!! I would love to write every single step that I love but it’s gonna take a half an hour to write it down :) I wanna keep it short and simple ! Amazing amazing amazing food is outstanding Service is very kind , professional and more !! Definitely recommend and I will be a regular for this spot ✅✅✅✅✅

We loved our experience here. I am Turkish and I visited the restaurant with my boyfriend who is French and I was glad he got to experience amazing food as well as a very traditional Turkish hospitality. This is certainly a place I will keep coming back. Incredible job!!

A nice chill place to grab a few drinks. We didnt order anything to eat, so cant comment on their food menu, but they seem to have a decent wine collection.

Wonderful service. Good selection of wine. Tasty food, without overwhelming selection. Well done.

Drinks were great and theres definitely an incredible selection, service wasnt great that night. Possible that they were short staffed for the night

Friendly service, just went for a few drinks and an appetizer. The hummus and pepper dip were pretty good.

I had a couple of nice glasses of wine here, the space is cute and really nice if you get a seat outside.

A fine wine bar, but nothing special at the prices they charge. Tried it once, that was enough. Friendly staff.

Avoid. So many cute places in this neighborhood, but even in an uncrowded bar the service was terrible. We had to beg at each encounter and the staff (including the GM) had collective ADD, focusing on everything but what was urgent or important.Food was super meh too.

Great food , cozy atmosphere , friendly and professional staff…

Had the most wonderful lunch today. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the hummus and the grilled salmon, both so flavorful and my friends falafel was also fantastic! And we ended the meal with the most wonderful dessert, a cold baklava that I cant rave enough about. The service was exceptional and I love the decor and airy atmosphere. It was a surprise find as we strolled down Irving Place and we all look forward to returning soon.

Really lovely place for a bite & drink. The turkish food was pretty delicious & decent atmosphere.We were sat next to the door which wasn’t great, along with being very very close to a large group, so it was cold on one side & less than intimate on the other. Besides that, it was lovely.

Very nice. Lil bit pricey. Good wine and food though!

Grabbed a couple glasses of wine here in their outside structure after work.Wine list is fine for a casual meetup, but the outside decor leaves a bit to be desired. Halfway through, a cockroach climbed on me!! And I wasnt the only person, this also happened to other people around us. Gross! Now Ive lived in NYC a long time and I know those can be seen everywhere but them being getting so close to guests was just too much. Our waitress was fine but not friendly, they seemed potentially short-staffed. Manager came in to check-in on us a few times which was nice. Overall a below average experience for this type of wine bar. Wont be returning.

We loved this place. We had a few Turkish classics like manti, lentil soup, tandir, and they were all delicious. The service was fast and the staff were very attentive and kind. We will definitely come back again.

Thnx for hospitality.Everything was great.

Pretty good cheese plate.

Great place to celebrate your birthday with the old world and new world wine tasting!

Cute and cozy. Great place to grab a glass of wine or two... or three.

I had an excellent experience, highly recommended!!

Great place! Staff is amazing. Thank you Ufti!

A very special time, thank you

A little overpriced but cute place; good for groups and conversations. Date-friendly too.

Loved mixed mezze plate. The beet salad. Manti…

This is a quant little wine bar. Worth a visit if youre in the area.

Nice place, bad acoustics

Loved this wine bar and their selection of cheese with honey!

Such an unexpected stop and we loved it. We were just walking by and had to stop in. You should too. Hummus and drinks were good!

Great service

Drinks are overpriced. $15 for bottled sangria?? Give me a break. And turn the a/c on when its 85° outside. Cheap.

Everything was medium.

The best wine bar in town. ❤️

Got food poisoning there last night. Don’t eat the Turkish meatballs.

Good place if you like 🍷 too small for me but...

Horrible service!!! Took FOREVER for our food.

My favorite wine bar. Cozy and romantic.

Lovely but the wait staff is a bit slow!

Quick easy cocktail

All 5 star, impeccable service, excellent food 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place offers a cozy, romantic ambience with a huge selection of wine. The staff is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to their products so thats a pro.It may be a bit dark in here for some but I enjoyed sipping wine in a dimly lit environment especially at night. The wines are pricey, yes but you are getting good quality wine, not the mass produced stuff. If you are a wine enthusiast or looking for an amorous space for a date, this would work

Great flavourful mulled wine! A little pricey. They have happy hour everyday which applies to some but not all drinks. Website says 4-7p although store front said 3-6p.

Cozy, romantic, nice selection of wines and small plates.

Sutton Place- The best mulled wine (and any other California wine) you will find anywhere. A perfect end to a perfect night! Staff is very helpful and attentive. A true hidden gem!

Was looking for a quiet bar, but it was actually a little too quiet. Nice, small, dark. Bartender was kind; gave me a free espresso/liquor shot of some type. Granted, he had overpoured for someone else, but was nice enough to give me the extra. I would go back.

Good wine and nice, low-key ambiance. The staff are sweet and will recommend drink options if you are not sure what you want to order. The space is in the basement and small, dimly lit and cozy. Can get crowded very quickly, but great for making a quick stop before dinner in the area.

Very laid back, comfy place in an interesting neighborhood (Washington Irving’s hood tho he would mostly not recognize it). Met here for a couple of after hours business meetings. Good selection of wine.

This is a cozy wine bar with a very fresh and interesting tapas dishes with an amazing wine selection. The service is superb and friendly. Highly recommend it!

I liked their patio and the friendly service. The menu, however, seems a bit limited and a bit too simple/plain. I dont think its paired well with their wine list. It would have been great to see more dips and other appetizers that go with wine.

Delicious mushroom truffle pizza! Was the best start to the holidays! Highly recommended!

I had been here for the first time, earlier last year. I had ordered a hummus platter, Turkish Meatballs and a glass of Montepucciano d Abruzzo wine. This past week I went there again. I was to meet up with my sister, who had never been there. Last year I went on a Wednesday afternoon, it wasnt crowded at all. I totally enjoyed the food that I ordered. I highly recommend their hummus platter with red pepper. I also enjoyed their roasted potatoes with Turkish Meatballs and some Arugula. This time on 14 October, I ordered their hummus platter, and an order of Bruschetta platter, consist of a trio of Bruschetta, one with mushrooms, one with tomato and cheese on it and the third one cheese with figs, I believe.I had ordered that for my sister , so I only took a piece of the one with tomatoes and cheese. I ordered a salad, which I ask them to prepare, off the menu. The salad that I ordered was sliced tomatoes with sliced avocado and feta cheese with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was so delicious. They gave me a generous portion, that I ended up taking leftover of that home. I enjoyed that tremendously, the next night for my dinner. For my dinner, I ordered the baked salmon on arugula. It was so much that I asked my sister to take half of it, home as leftovers for her. My sister ordered a Beet Salad. It was a busy night, the tables were all filled up. They have tables set up outside, due to COVID.. It is very nice and cozy inside, but small. The only mishap I had that night was with the young male waiter. He was excellent.however, in clearing the plates off the table, I specifically told him, the food on the plates, was to go. Considering that it was crowded, they were extremely busy. As most places, due to COVID they tend to be understaffed. My sister was wondering why, we had not gotten the containers back with our leftovers. I hadnt realized that we didnt get it back. For my leftover salad, the server had given me a container in which to put it in. My sister was wondering why they hadnt just brought us containers to put leftover food, rather than take plates to the kitchen. Long story short, when I asked for the check and inquired about our leftovers, the server then realized the mistake he made. He informed me that he was confused and ended up throwing away the food. You can imagine how I felt, as I hate wasting food. No Less it was my sisters first time going to that restaurant. I mentioned this to the owner and other female server that was my first server that night, until male server took over to assist, due to busy night with the crowds. I was not expecting outcome of this, but was pleased with it.The female server came to my table and informed my sister and me, that they were not going to charge me for our dinner,due to servers mistake. I am a Christian and would never have cursed at them, nor yell at the server, when this happened.. I understand things happen, I only said to the owner, that I was disappointed as those leftovers were for my sisters husband.I respected their decision, to just charge me for the wine we had . I will definitely return back to Pierre Loti Restaurant, known for their Mediterranean Food. In spite of everything, I highly recommend Pierre Loti Restaurant, most deserving of five stars ...

Fine drinks and food, but service was pretty awful. The bartender kind of snubbed me and my boyfriend - have no idea why, we were polite and just moved to the neighborhood. Maybe it was just the bar, and seated service is much better. I dont know, because I wont be going back. Bar Jamon across the street is generally superior.

Great little wine bar for post work drinks or to meet friends on the weekend. I love the classy lounge atmosphere and huge selection of tasty wines. This is the first place I ever had a drink in NYC so theres that!

Nice selection of reasonably-priced wines. Great Mediterranean food. Dim and cozy setting.

Outdoor set up was plenty warm despite the weather. Wine was great.

Rude staff! Don’t bother. Dropped in at 5:15pm and there was 3 tables occupied. I was told the only place I could sit is at the bar due to reservations. I wanted a table and said I would be quick - they just replied “anywhere at the bar”. I walked out. They don’t deserve the business.

Lovely cosy place! The vibe here is so wonderful. The reason for not 5* is only one toilet for everyone, but great otherwise ❤️

My go to union square wine bar. Good wine selection, small plates are okay but a little pricey for what you get. Small outdoor seating area is fun for people watching.

They billed my card higher than what I was charged including tip. They do not answer their phones for me to report the problem. Will not be returning to this establishment.

Fun date spot with good wine and great service!

Service is spotty and there isnt anything truly truly exceptional here but its a great little wine bar with a decent menu. The tomato mozzarella salad usually hits the spot and he house cab franc is pretty nice.

Even crowded, this place has a cozy/romantic touch that will make you enjoy your drinks/dinner. The tapas are absolutely delicious, and so is the wine.

I forgot some boxed up cheese and charcuterie when I left and the waiter chased me down two blocks to give it to me, talk about good service. Oh and the wine, food and atmosphere were great too.

A bit too noisy, stuffy and crowded for my taste. Service is slow. Reservations are recommended.

Very cozy, friendly and heavenly, GREAT service, it worths every penny you pay.

Some friends and I went for an event. I found it pretentious and pricey. Id rather wander deeper downtown for better deals, friendlier hosts, and a warmer environment.

Service. hostess amazing. Hungarian wine fab. Dont forget the cheeses

Slightly loud, so hearing the conversation partner is sometimes hard. But the place definitely has a charm, the wine was good as was the platter with hummus.

Excellent cocktails and great service

Had drinks at the bar. Very cozy and the bartender was great.

Local wine bar in Gramercy Park

Nice little place to have some wine.

This bar just feels right. Its expensive, but when you need to stop in and the rest of the area is to busy, youre there.

Cozy place , wine is good , food is delicious

Great cozy spot for wine.

Great food and atmosphere

Bad hummos and drinks were a bit overpriced.

Great Moscow mule and charcuterie board

Lovely outdoor seating

Loud, over-priced wine, forgetful waiters, bad music

Great wine choices

Great aside from the giant roach ...

Great for wine lovers.

Everything was superb!!!

Great wine bar!

Cozy atmosphere nice vibe

Okay place. Cozy. Rather expensive

Lovely wine bar

Nice, convenient and quiet

Mezes are great!

A gem!

Nope.

Bad food and service.

Good wine bar.

Nice service

Nice place

Everything!

Cozy place

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff are very friendly. The food is excellent, we liked it so much that we went back on our last night in the city. I recommend! We were served by Tassi, who is sensational and deserves all the praise for her friendliness.

Everything was delicious..

The environment is very warm and the employees are friendly. I will definitely visit again.

The truth is, I dont consume food as such, but I did have some delicious margaritas.

Very nice

It wasnt a bad place

Super
