Beautiful and comfortable environment. Enjoyed the delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. Love the caviar. The vegetables are tasty. My sister and I had a wonderful time dining and chatting. Had fun taking photo by the stair with my sister and owner Miki. Great for families and friends gathering. Love to come back again and again.

Things I liked: even on a busy night the restaurant was still quiet with well-sized tables and nice decor. The bar is very cute. Presentation of dishes is nice. People liked the lobster risotto.Things that underwhelmed me: the gnocchi was more generic in flavor It had mostly slightly sautéed button mushrooms and a slight truffle aroma but nothing that carried through into the taste.Service was fine.

Me and my husband booked a table for 13 for a post wedding lunch last October 11, 2024. I have nothing but positive to say for our lunch event. We had a nice and quiet table on the second floor and all our servers were very professional and friendly. They gave us a free champagne and came out with two sparklers for me and my husband. We found this very sweet and got really nice photos out of it! The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal from the starters to mains and desserts! They far outweighed our expectations and we are very content and happy. I have no regrets choosing them for our wedding lunch. The ambience was also perfect even though it was lunch time, the lighting inside made us feel like we were having a nice relaxed dinner which we liked and was exactly the ambience we were looking for. Overall, I highly recommend and want to say thanks to the events team and The Consulate!

This place has it all! The brunch menu is fantastic, with everything from perfect omelets to indulgent Eggs Benedict. The avocado toast is fresh and satisfying, and the pancakes are fluffy and sweet. For dinner, the burgers are juicy and delicious. It’s a great spot for big groups with a welcoming, easy-going vibe.

Went with work colleagues. I am not a great fan of French cuisine being vegetarian. This place was great though. The set meal option was great. Wine and drinks were awesome. Loved the service and the ambience. Nice and easy midtown location. Highly recommend.

Consulate is a hidden gem in Midtown Manhattan, blending the charm of a European bistro with a contemporary New York vibe. The restaurant is perfect for brunch, dinner, or drinks, offering an upscale yet unpretentious atmosphere that feels welcoming and relaxed.The interior is stylish, with a mix of modern and classic design elements. Food is delicious, service is great. Highly recommend it!

We had a nice little lunch here in between visiting the Zoo and the MoMA.My young daughter had an excellent chicken sandwich here which they kindly modified to her preference. I sampled some of it and it was very good.My wife and I each had a French onion soup and their version was the best we have had so far on the entire east coast. Very savory and flavorful, and quite filling as a snack since it was a bit early for us for a proper lunch.Cocktails were excellent, I enjoyed both their take on an Old Fashioned (it included Mezcal) and the Lola. The latter I really enjoyed and while our waiter refused to procure the recipe when asked (boo...), the bartender immediately obliged (yay..). Ive made it at home and am thankful for making the visit there if just for this new cocktail addition to my library of favorites.Beautiful decor inside, brimming with the polish and charm of an elegant brasserie without any aloofness. The winding staircase is quite impressive.

I need to start this one with a negative. We ordered appetizers and dinner and our dinner was served while I was still eating my appetizer. This is such an issue for me. I said we were still eating the appetizers and the server just looked at me. Unfortunately this clouds my review because if a restaurant doesn’t think service and the guest experience is important then my opinion of the restaurant falls. We were there at 5:30 pm on a weekday and while the restaurant was busy it was no where close to full. The food was very good and the atmosphere was lovely but unfortunately I can’t get past the poor service. Amuse bouche was very good but thought it should have been served before the appetizer and not with it. Lamb tartare was delicious. Might be my palate but I wasn’t really able to discern lamb vs beef but still a very good tartare. Grilled artichokes were good but could have used a little salt. Kale salad was great, fresh crisp and not overdressed. Burger was also good. Cooked well, juicy snd flavorful. Fries were perfection for me. Crispy and not at all greasy. I feel badly giving the rating of 3 but for me service really matters.I appreciate the owners quick and thoughtful response to my review. Makes me think I will give them another try.

Celebrating my birthday at this French restaurant was undoubtedly an exquisite experience from start to finish. The ambiance alone sets the stage for a memorable dining affair, with its sophisticated charm and inviting atmosphere that elevates any special occasion.The culinary journey began with the artichoke appetizer, a delightful prelude to the culinary delights that awaited. The Wild Mushrooms Truffle Pinza stole the show with its medley of sautéed wild mushrooms, creamy goat cheese, fragrant truffle oil, and fresh chives atop perfectly baked Pinza bread. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate.The French onion soup at this remarkable restaurant is a culinary masterpiece that deserves special recognition. The richness and depth of flavor in every spoonful of this classic dish is truly something to behold. The sweet caramelized onions, savory beef broth, and decadent melted cheese perfectly meld together to create a symphony of flavors that warms both the heart and soul.The presentation of the French onion soup is as exquisite as its taste, with the gooey, golden-brown layer of cheese cascading over the rim of the bowl, inviting you to dive into its comforting embrace. The sight and aroma alone are enough to evoke a sense of nostalgia and anticipation for the culinary delight that awaits.Each spoonful of this soup is a journey through layers of complex and harmonious flavors, with the slight sweetness of the onions balancing beautifully against the savory richness of the broth. The melted cheese adds a luxurious creaminess that ties everything together, creating a truly indulgent and satisfying experience.Moving on to the main courses, the Pesto Reginetti Pasta showcased the simplicity and elegance of classic French cuisine, with al dente pasta coated in a vibrant pesto sauce that celebrated the freshness of the ingredients. And then, the pièce de résistance – the Tomahawk Steak for 2. The 48oz of perfectly cooked steak, accompanied by roasted herb potatoes, chimichurri sauce, and tender broccolini, was a carnivorous delight that left a lasting impression.Complementing these culinary masterpieces were the exquisite cocktails. The Oui Mademoiselle cocktail, with its tantalizing blend of vodka, elderflower, blackberry puree, lemon, and sparkling wine, was a true work of art in a glass. Its harmonious mix of flavors and elegant presentation added an extra touch of glamour to the evening.Overall, dining at this French restaurant was a sensory experience like no other. From the impeccable dishes to the outstanding cocktails, every detail was crafted with care and precision. For a birthday celebration or any special occasion, this restaurant promises an unforgettable culinary journey that will linger in your memory long after the last bite has been savored.

The ambiance and atmosphere were nothing shy of class, beauty, and warmth as soon as you walk in. The dimmed lighting and cozy seating made our experience so relaxed and enjoyable. The drinks and food were made to absolute perfection, probably the best steak Ive ever had. Would definitely come back again when visiting the city. Everything was absolute perfection!

Service was a bit slow to start. Very narrow seating and therefore a lot of noise. Beautiful restaurant. I had the salmon and it was excellent. Competitive prices. When I visit New York City again, I will be stopping by this restaurant again for the flavors!

We went for the restaurant week dinner for our anniversary and everything we had was really good and the atmosphere was classy modern. My steak was cooked perfectly and my husband really enjoyed the scallop risotto. Cardamon PanaCota was delicious. Cesar J was our server and was very attentive and courteous. Rest of the staff was very pleasant as well - even gave us a little photo souvenir for our anniversary.

Let me start first with the 5/5 stars on the service and the specialty drinks. The food on the other hand is uh questionable at best. The salads are what they are just alright, the French onion soup is mediocre at best and last but definitely the least were the steaks. Every steak that came to the table was over cooked, the server did offer to bring the steak back and get us new ones (one person in my party was a bit more vocal then the rest, the rest of us just ate it begrudgingly and held our tongues)but when you are charging 50$+ steaks why are they all coming out over cooked? The back of the house really need to temp their meats much better.

It’s my fourth time coming here and every time everything is perfect. My favorite plates are the short rib pasta and the gnocchi one, but the bone with fig jam appetizer is delicious, their mushroom pasta is phenomenal, and the service is excellent. I would recommend this restaurant 100% and for sure come back many times.

The first thing I found myself telling my server every time he passed by was, WOW. From the moment I walked in on Thursday night to the moment I left, I was in awe of the food, service, and atmosphere. We were served primarily by Nemo, who was an incredible server and I cannot recommend him enough. If youre lucky enough to get him, youre in for a treat.Now, the food and drink. We started with some cocktails and mocktails, each one had a great flavor profile but my favorite was the last one - the Amy. A great take on a G&T with a dragonfruit twist.Our appetizers were the bone marrow and the crab cake. Both cooked to perfection, but it was in the details that you could see the care that was put into it. The crab cake was stunning with the sauce pairing, and the bone marrow paired with the fig garnishes on top was a sweet component to the umami flavor of the perfectly-cooked bone marrow.Our main courses were the steak frites and the burger, both of which were cooked superbly. I ordered my steak medium rare and they got it perfect. The fries were also really really good!For dessert, we ordered the creme brulee and the burnt cheesecake (a special of the night). The creme brulee was probably one of the best Ive ever had with a sufficiently cooked AND thick sugar crust on top, and the custard being phenomenal on the bottom. The burnt cheesecake was also a delight, with my fiance noting that it wasnt too sweet (a good thing!)The atmosphere was stunning and super romantic. They even had a live jazz trio playing when I went, which added to the great ambiance. Overall I cannot wait to come back here - it was one of the most delicious meals Ive had in a while!

Correction... went to the UWS Location:My wife and I had a wonderful experience on Tues. 3/26/2024 (our 13th anniversary). Everyone was pleasant... from the hostess to Petra, our server; and the busmen. We ordered oysters and the wild mushroom Pinza bread with truffles for appetizer, and for our entree filet mignon, and hanger steak (perfect medium temp).The food was incredibly exquisite, and the drinks were also amazing (Kiss of life, and Old Fashion). It was our first visit, but we will be back soon (cant wait :-)

Loved the two-story restaurant!! Looking from outside , it had class. Decided to check it out after hearing about it’s opening in Midtown. We had sat upstairs , beautiful dining room. We ordered few appetizers like Shrimp Toast and Grilled Octopus, both were great. Decided to go with the Tomahawk for 2 , asked for Medium felt like it was Medium Rare but no issues we enjoyed it. Espressos Martinis were flowing in the system so it was a great night.Ambiance - 10/10Service - 10/10 Very KnowledgeableParking - StreetReservation Needed , I am guessing walk-ins welcomed as well

We were with my brother and his family in NYC we were there just for 1 night came down from Montreal, We picked this restaurant as reviews were very good and we do enjoy French cuisine (we do live in Montreal) and we’re really surprised and throughly enjoyed dinner.We were a party of 6 we ordered 4 starters to share as we wanted to share and enjoy and for my brothers family to experience different food starters were snails, octopus salmon flatbread and artichokes me and my partner enjoy snails and well wanted to see how comfortable other people are yes it’s a an acquired taste but snails are really good.The rest of the meal was great the waiter was really nice super polite and professional atmosphere is very relaxed.

Perfect spot to celebrate hubby’s birthday. The ambiance is nice but the staff is even nicer. Initially we wanted to order the T-bone steak but they were out. We tried the following:-the tuna tartare served with avocado, yuzu, crisp shallots: hands down the best tuna tartare I’ve ever had. Must order.-short rib cavetalli: enjoyed the dish but needed a hint of salt to pull together all the delish flavors-steak frites severed with fries and peppercorn sauce: fries were superb - loved the crunch. The steak was cooked to perfection.-filet mignon served with mashed potatoes. This was the most underwhelming dish - just meaty but lacked taste. Needed a bit more butter, salt, pepper…anything.-crème brûlée: an excellent version, highly recommend it.Although on the reservation I specified we were celebrating hubby’s birthday, the restaurant did not bring out the dessert with candle/birthday message.

I had the pleasure of being invited by my friend Artur to brunch at The Consulate, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with a two-floor layout in Midtown that exudes elegance and charm. The addition of a DJ playing great songs added a lively touch to the ambiance.The food at The Consulate was truly exceptional. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. While I enjoyed most of the menu items, I would advise against ordering the tiramisu as it didnt quite meet my expectations.The service at The Consulate was top-notch, with attentive staff who ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it an ideal spot for a Sunday brunch with friends looking for a vibrant environment filled with excitement.Overall, I highly recommend The Consulate for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic brunch experience in a stylish setting with great food, exceptional service, and a lively atmosphere. Its definitely a place worth visiting for a memorable dining experience.

Went here for my Moms birthday. Everything is amazing the moment you come in. Everyone in the staff was nice, accommodating and attentive and we had Javier especially help us throughout the night.Since we came on a Thursday night, there was a live jazz band playing which makes it feel extra magical.Food was tasty and well prepared, we had the escargot and grilled octopus for appetizers. My mom got the special which was a scallop dish and I got the short rib cavatelli and we ended with a burnt cheesecake for dessert. For drink I got the Oui Mademoiselle which I recommend. The serving felt more than enough because we were already feeling full by appetizers.Overall, one of the best places I tried in New York especially after the pandemic. Definitely recommended and will come back (especially on a Thursday night or perhaps a Saturday brunch for the jazz)

Do not go here for a pre theater experience.We came 2 hours before our show (the restaurant only recommended 1 hour and 45 minutes before). We informed them of the show and asked for the pre theater menu. The staff the whole time was slow as molasses, it took 20 minutes to even take our order. We had to leave 20 minutes before our show started, and even though we had kept reminding the waitress (who we had to flag down), we left without any word of our desert being close to ready.I’m not one for leaving reviews or for getting upset at restaurants, but it really didn’t seem like anyone there cared at all about committing to the theater times they get people in the door for.

This is an amazing restaurant in midtown. The décor inside is great, you have a feeling this is a very classy restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. The service is exceptional the cocktails well made with quality ingredients. I forgot to picture the shrimp cocktail and the dozen oysters which were VERY fresh and were gone in a minute. The Branzino would just perfectly cooked, and the Tomahawk steak that folks in my party had was to die for. They did share a small piece for me to enjoy.Just a real classy establishment, great service and for the quality of food it is very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to be back!

Proper higher end French restaurant with gorgeous internal decor and excellent service. The color scheme works really well.The food however, was not a straight flush. Lets see:Shaved brussels sprouts salad and kale, 8/10, the Parmesan and green apple actually worked well in tandem, slightly on the tangy side but balanced by the dressing. The weakness was the texture, it was overall too rough, needed something else to balance that texture.Shrimp toast, 9/10, the shrimp and toast were both perfectly done and the flavor was good. Nice and crispy.Crab cake, 7/10, the disappointment of the night. What a shame. It had generous crab meat but the flavor was just flat. I could almost just as easily find a similarly mediocre crab cake at a Jersey Shore restaurant.Crispy Maitake, 10/10, I think this was the highlight of the night. Crispy at the outside and tender on the inside and the sauce was perfect for it.Halibut, 8/10, while the halibut itself was perfectly steamed, the flavor was again, too subtle/weak. I wish they could have either top it with some capers, or do some reduction on the sauce to concentrate it and give more punch to the halibut.Oui Madamoiselle, 9/10, good drink, slightly on the dry side, looked gorgeous and good balance.Value is ok, prices are slightly high but not outrageous and serving size is decent.All in all, its a good offering for a proper French restaurant, but perhaps just shy of bring creme de la creme.

Came here for lunch with my wife, we both loved the restaurant. We really liked the interior decoration, the music and above all the way staff treated us. Our waiter was Renan and he was very helpful and kind. He knew the menu very well and I went with his recommendation, (Prix Fixe Lunch Menu 3 Course) Crab Cake as the appetizer, Consulate Burger as the main meal and Bread Pudding for dessert.The Crab Cake was delicious. And I highly recommend the Consulate Burger. My wife and I loved the Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream.We are definitely coming back next time we find ourselves in NYC.

The Consulate NYC is a trendy, romantic, upscale restaurant with immaculate service. Everyone including patrons and staffs are dressed to impress so you better dress nicely as a respect. Booze & Blues is super rich in flavor with a smoky and nutty taste changing flavors as it goes down your throat. Delightful! Oui Mademoiselle, literally “yes miss” in English, tastes like a fresh puréed blueberry soda with a nice kick. Refreshing! The mussels is tender and bursting with flavor. Escargot is simply delicate and delicious. Sorry cute lil snails. Both the branzino and chicken is fresh and juicy with perfect seasoning. One bite and the word wow comes out automatically. This is the perfect place to fill your picky stomachs with your significant other. Don’t forget to finish the night off with desserts that taste better than a dessert shop.

The restaurants beautiful design and atmosphere added to the overall experience. Okan, our server, was incredibly hospitable, and KAT, the manager, was fabulous and even helped me book an event.

Terrible. The hostess is low key rude and then we were seated downstairs, instead of upstairs. This group of people who came in after us, asked if the area we were in was bar or table service. The dinner came out to over $250, and we were basically sat at the bar area next to the bathroom and kitchen. Service was very slow and the steak frites were chewy, not tender at all. For that price the food should have been superb.

Very mixed feelings. We went for brunch and the food itself was delish. Ordered the croque monsieur and benedict; would strongly recommend both.However the atmosphere was overly stuffy and our server was almost entirely absent. After taking our order we didn’t see him again for the rest of the meal. Had to ask for our waters to be refilled multiple times, for plates to be cleared and the check to be brought. While I would love to return for the food the ghosting of our server and overly formal vibes are deterrents.

Loved the atmosphere definitely my kind of place. Great for big parties. I had a ton of wine with some friends & went to straight to dessert. The tiramisu needed a little bit more coffee it was too dry for my liking* I never write negative comments but I’m such a sucker for tiramisu I hope they fix it bc I really like this place & most likely end up ordering it again. The DJ was also really good I didn’t get her name but I really enjoyed the songs it wasn’t too loud at all which I appreciated and I sat directly in front of the DJ booth. Thanks for a lovely time!

Absolutely loved saturday jazzy brunch at The Consulate! The croque monsier was one of the best I’ve ever had- very moist and rich but not too heavy. Also loved the nutella french toast, although I would not get the side of fries again. The jazz band was wonderful, the service was great, and the decor was on point. Would definetly come again. I recommend getting there at 11:30 sharp (when the jazz starts) and reserving or trying to get seating upstairs. It was not crowded at all so you could get away with either :)

Excellent service, food and vibe here. Stunning two-floor restaurant. Came here for lunch on a weekday, with one of the guys that is part of my team. Had a table on the second floor, as it was way nicer and quieter than the first floor. Both of us did the prix-fixe lunch menu which consists of 3 courses. Enjoyed every single minute of my lunch here with one guy that is part of my team.I had the grilled octopus appetizer. Well plated, as presentation of the dish was stunning, all the components came together well. Very tasty. Second course, had the short rib cavatelli. Excellent, the best item of the meal. Super flavorful, my favorite, as the cavatelli pasta, shredded short rib and the other components blended perfectly into the dish. As part of the lunch prix-fixe, the grilled octopus was an additional $9 while the beef short rib cavatelli was an add on for $7, despite the additional cost, it was well-worth the extra money.The other person thats part of my team had the steak frites for the second course. The hanger steak was cooked to perfect medium. Also, the fries were extra crispy and well seasoned.We shared the herb-roasted fingerling potatoes side, as it was very crisp, flavorful and tasty. The exterior of the fingerlings are crispy, as the interior of the potatoes was very soft and tasty.On the presentation aspect, the presentation of every dish ordered is stunning.The staff was very attentive, non-intrusive, quick and informative, ready to handle requests.Will for sure come back for the delicious food and top-notch service.

The Consulate Midtown provided a truly lovely evening for my family. We enjoyed the bone marrow appetizer, duck, short rib cavatelli, bronzino, and pesto pasta. Everything was delicious! We also enjoyed the Lola and Oui Mademoiselle cocktails. Finished the meal with their cheesecake special. It was light, for me the prefect consistency. Similar to ricotta cheesecake. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. Our waiter, Cesar, was very attentive. Well definitely be back!

The Consulate is a gem of a French restaurant, delivering an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Our server, Javier, was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, adding a personal touch to the impeccable service that this establishment is known for. The cuisine is authentically French and exquisitely prepared, with each dish reflecting a high level of culinary artistry. The cocktails are a standout, expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, elevating the dining experience further. And you simply must indulge in the delectable bread pudding dessert; its the perfect sweet ending to a superb meal. In a city brimming with dining options, The Consulate stands out as a beacon of excellence in both food and service, and Javiers outstanding attentiveness is the cherry on top.

I had one of the best dinning experiences at The Consulate. I started off with The Amy an exquisite drink of Gin, dragonfruit, and elderflower (I had 2). The Tartar trio is the perfect starter, light flavorful. OMG THE SHORT RIB Cavitelli is silky and sensational.

This place is a treat for all of your senses. Food is very delicious, service is perfect, staff is very knowledgeable of the food and drinks they are serving. If I have to highlight on thing that wood be the perfect Roasted chicken with spinach! I also tried Steak tartare - perfect, Muscles- perfect, gnocchi with mushrooms - perfect!

We decided to try the $24.95 luncheon special after seeing an ad that listed various options for the week. The setting was posh with mirrors and comfy seating, and we had quick service with our food arriving in about 12 minutes. The green salad was standard but tasty with a creamy vinaigrette, and I enjoyed my burger, though the American cheese wasnt great. My friend and I loved the fries and shared a delicious bread pudding for dessert. Overall, it was a pleasant meal, but wed check the soup of the day before going again.

My husband and I traveled to the beautiful city of New York to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We had a recommendation to have dinner at The Consulate. We loved the place, it has a beautiful decoration, the lamps on the tables gave it an original touch. The music is very suitable and with a very good volume to listen to pleasant music and at the same time have a conversation. We were attended by Renan who was very kind, we could see that he is aware of what he is doing in addition to being patient with us while we decided what we would choose, he gave us recommendations that then ended up delighting us. The corn soup was a sensation for me and the Grilled Branzino Filet shaved Frennel was lovely. We can summarize our visit as the best option in all areas to have a nice and delicious dinner. Thank you very much to everyone who thanked us, especially Renan. We are definitely be coming back when we visit NYC again.

Review №137

This was my first visit and what seemed awkward was the fact that the chef was preparing photogenic dishes for someone taking pictures. Thus the order kept getting screwed up, but luckily the bartender was my waitress and she was excellent. I think I would like to give this restaurant another try I had a very good Impossible burger. I’m not sure which brand it was, but it was very good. I asked for no sauce and it came with sauce just one of the things that’s got screwed up. The oysters were very good and the salad was very nutritious. I think if the focus of the restaurant was more on me then on taking the pictures I think the order would’ve been accurate. They would serve me something that I said no before they set it down and then realized it was for someone else. I really like the restaurant and I definitely will give it. Another chance. I was just sort of confused how things kept getting screwed up. I could tell that the service was excellent, but I don’t think it wasthe way it was intended due to distractions.

I visited this bar with high expectations for a great experience, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The service was notably poor, primarily because the bartender was seldom behind the bar, seemingly overwhelmed with tasks elsewhere. This resulted in frustratingly long wait times for drinks, which, while amazing in taste, did not compensate for the delay. Additionally, the apparent short staffing only exacerbated the situation. The interaction between the manager and the staff was also concerning, as it was uncomfortably tense and conducted in front of guests, which I found inappropriate. Overall, while the drinks and atmosphere were a highlight, the service elements severely detracted from the overall experience

After visiting a consulate in Atlanta last year, I had to check out the New York location and it didn’t disappoint. Ambiance was impeccable. The dim lighting, music, decor was everything I was looking for in a early evening dinner. I ordered the French onion soup, mushrooms, and roasted chicken. Everything tasted delicious and was served promptly. I highly recommend the french onion soup which was packed with a lot of flavor. The roasted chicken was cooked to perfection. I would recommend pairing the chicken with one of their signature sauces. Also, the Excise Moi mocktail hit the spot. Shout out to Cesar who gave me amazing customer service all night. He was very attentive and proactive. I’ll definitely come again and will probably bring my partner.

My sister didnt like the short rib cavtelli meal but we did like it. She felt it tasted like a gourmet hamburger helper 😂. Me and my nephew thought it tasted good. I had the dry aged tbone cooked medium. The small half was like butter but the bigger half was tougher to cut even cooked to a perfect medium. If the whole steak was consistent to the smaller half, I would have probably given it 4 stars. My nephew had the steak and frites and was juicy even cooked to well done(well done is not my thing). The tbone was about $63. The steak and frites was about $53. The shortrib was $37. What brought this whole experience down to a 3 stars was the ceaser salad. I basically was given lettuce boats and slices of anchovies and ceaser dressing. This is my first time at a french restaurant. So maybe Im just not cultured to this type of food but my ceaser salad should not be 6 lettuce boats with some dressing and slices of anchovies. For that, I would never spend 25$ on a poorly made salad again

She had the steak and fries (theyre double fried super crispy) and then we split the Brussels sprouts and the pineapple upside down cake (was heavenly).I really couldnt believe how delicious everything tasted.I had an old fashioned and she had something called the mademoiselle.We split the bill in half.

Review №179

Great venue, beautiful & classy space, great attention from staff, unfortunately this is a restaurant and the food was hit or miss. In our case the big miss was the heirloom tomato salad. For $25, regardless of which restaurant, if the star of the dish is bland, too firm, and lacking any sweetness, thats a problem. This dish was poor, had one or two small strawberries cut up in it (the summer fruit part) but ultimately it was the tomato that was lackluster. Not once during the meal did the staff ask how things were. It was at the end it came up and I shared it was not good. To my shock after telling the staff and while walking out another staff member, maybe manager, tried to explain these were expensive tomatoes and sweet tomatoes is only one variety with questionable means to sweeten them. Not sure where hes from but across the US farm after farm produces delicious, colorful and flavorful tomatoes. A trip to Union Square markets may not be a bad idea. The other food we had was good, not complaints about the food. I think for the price it lacked being special but this rating would have been a four if the tomatoes were delicious or the staff cared enough to address the issue instead of excuse it.

Met friends here for a pre show dinner. Beautiful setting with a dramatic staircase. We sat upstairs. For the price, the food was fine but certainly not memorable. The bone marrow is not worth it. The French onion soup and Caesar salad were good. The short rib pasta was very rich. Friend ordered the duck special and they accidentally gave her chicken teriyaki. The manager made it right by quickly getting her duck, giving her the chicken to go, and all dessert on the house. The desserts were very good.

I went to celebrate my birthday on December 2th . Everything was fine food and drinks. I have bad experience with the waiter , not attention at all , I requested my check with another staff because the waiter never came to the table after dinner. But i saw him with others customers, laughing and having good time. maybe he thought weren’t going to tip him well . Never assume

Absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in the door, the service was perfection. Genuinely surprised we managed to get a reservation same day. Our server, Cesar was an absolute delight. Were I a local, this would absolutely be a regular spot.

I just wanted to say that I am beyond impressed with this place; the food, the service, and the place itself all amazing. I came here tonight with 2 other friends of mine and we were speechless. I want to give a shoutout to the best service that we recieved tonight from Tamara!! She was great, very attentive to us, and so friendly our entire dinner night. I definitely recomment the Steak Tartare that she had recommended us as an appetizer, it was delicious. Thank you so much for having us! We will definitely be coming back!
