Pierre Loti's Chelsea location is outfitted much like its Irving Place sister spot, with a vaguely Turkish vibe and quaint outdoor seating in front. The long space has minimal decoration, with the exception of two star-shaped mirrors adorning the walls, and one long cushion with tables lined in front. The menu is studded with wine-friendly bites and cheeses, but there are also eclectic options like stuffed sardines and bulgur patties . There's a servicable entrée list which includes a tasty pan-seared jumbo sea scallops with sauteed asparagus. The winelist offers about 70 bottles, 20 of which are also available by the glass.
"The scene was really relaxed and the wine was delicious. There was a very sweet band playing but they were perfect to talk over as they were not too loud (a base, guitar, and violin). Definitely heading back!"

"I went for the first time on a Wednesday night and food was delicious. Very good live Turkish music started at 9pm. Lively atmosphere and also has a small outdoor area. Would definitely go back!"

"It's very rare to come across a place that checks off all the boxes and passes everything with flying colors. From the moment we walked in the door we felt like we were dining in an old friends home with fantastic food and delicious wine. Our server was Serda (hope I spelled that correct). She was very attentive, made amazing recommendations on the food and wine. We had the following (all equally amazing) - hummus, zucchini pancakes (a MUST), scallops and salmon. We will definitely be back again - we want to bring everyone we know here. The ambiance was beautiful and intimate, but also a place were you can kick back with friends. A big THANK YOU to the staff and SORRY my husband knocked over his water glass and I knocked mine over with"
