Zoi recently opened their doors on the Upper East Side. The vibe at Zoi is lively yet approachable. It manages to feel elevated without pretension: soundtrack choices that encourage conversation, attentive service, and that indefinable buzz that comes from a crowd that’s part neighborhood regular, part in-the-know visitor. Weekday lunches feel intimate and unhurried, while weekend evenings bring a vibrant energy as friends and couples gather over mezze and cocktails.  

The menu reflects a refined take on Mediterranean and Asian-inspired cuisine. Think shareable mezze plates perfect for sampling and conversation — bright hummus, grilled octopus, and refreshing salads — alongside more substantial entrées blending Greek, Italian, and Asian flavors. Zoi’s cocktail program and curated wine list are frequently praised, making it a great place to toast with a crisp white or creative signature drink.  Highly recommended dishes include the mezzo platters, citrus tuna tartare, shrimp scampi, wagyu beef tataki, and beet & burrata carpaccio. The specialty sushi rolls are also a must try! For the mains there is a selection of fresh pastas, meat dishes and our favorite the whole red snapper. The decadent Dubai gold cheesecake was an amazing way to end the meal.

During Fashion Week, reservations at Zoi are especially coveted. Designers, editors, and guests often book early to secure a table before runway shows or late-night industry events. Its combination of elevated yet relaxed Mediterranean cuisine, stylish interior, and buzzworthy vibe makes Zoi not just a meal — but a quintessential New York dining experience
