"Loring Place is what you’d get if a Chili’s or TGIF grew up, decided to move to the West Village and eat more vegetables. The menu has things like pizza with squash blossoms, crudo, and pasta with mozzarella and lemon. This place is a little more upscale, although it isn’t fancy in a sports coat-and-tie kind of way, and it’s good for a night out with some friends, family, or friends of the family." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
