AOC East

I’m wondering if these reviews are legitimate. We had the ratatouille as an appetizer, wasn’t too bad except the bread was hard as a rock. For our main course we had a lamb burger and lamb chops, which was the special. Lamb burger and the fries were ok, but the lamb was very tough. We ordered the apple pastry for dessert, definitely not impressive. The coffee was pretty good. They weren’t very busy but the service was terrible. I hope they get things straightened out because I do like to see small businesses thrive.

The vibe is French Bistro. The place is bijoux. Tight. I enjoyed the foie grass but my friends didnt like the crabcake. Wine selection is good. Dessert is good. I like the place and plan to go back.

The food at AOC is spectacular. Easily my favorite Bistro. They serve what is one of my favorite burgers in NYC. Flame cooked to perfection. I have had too many overpriced lame burgers to ever take this one for granted.If you are looking for more than a comforting burger the duck confit and duck breast are worth leveling up for.

Love France? Love Food? Love oysters? Love wine? This is the place to go! Although we had a small issue with the water, that our waitress took care rapidly. Food was AMAZING fresh and delicious! Felt like you could travel to France in one dinner! Would recommend to go and choose the mussels!

I love this bar. It’s my favorite place in the neighborhood. The bartenders Loris, Jerome, and Ayoub are so friendly and welcoming and always recommend the best wines. The food is excellent, especially the escargot and my favorite, the duck magret. Wednesday reggae night is the most fun place to be on the Ues. Jazz on Sundays is also awesome, especially Alfredo’s band. The crowd is always friendly! Highly recommend!

As comfy as a pizza oven in outdoor shed with just one fan on other side. I actually got sunburned. Sliders were tiny but good. 2 for $15 plus credit charge surcharge.

I ordered my steak medium rare it came medium well and they pack fries together with a steak for a delivery, so obviously fries get super soggy by the delivery time.

I love this place. I am hesitant to write this review only because I don’t want to share my secret favorite spot but they absolutely deserve the praise and the business. Everyone is so incredibly nice here. They’ve always been accommodating (when I wanted to sit down just for dessert, when my mom visited and she is… very particular) and they are gracious and kind every time.The food is as good as the service. Everything is delicious. I’ve come here only and specifically for the crème brulee. Dinner was delicious.10/10 would recommend

Great moment in a genuine french place where waiters speak french..(and theyre very nice too! ;)We enjoyed big time our stay, from very, very good oysters to a great steak frites béarnaise, with a very nice Bordeaux ... And some waiters even sings ragga muffin...Whats not to love!

Though we are from the neighborhood, never heard of the restaurant. Literately picked it from Google map and made a reservation for two. Rarely been so right in picking restaurants. The menu is small but versatile. We ordered shrimp croquettes and vegetable risotto as starter. Both terrific, especially veg risotto. Trued escargot and was delicious. So was the burger. Ambience is really cute … a narrow area with an elegant wall decor. Our server Kionna was very helpful in recommending the dishes and what’s the restaurant is known for. Now that we know the place, will come back again!

We discovered this place few months ago and it became one of our go to places. Amazing food with true French atmosphere.

Really nice vibe. Would be great if I lived in the neighborhood and could drop in for a drink from time to time. We ordered two desserts, tarte tatin and crème brulée, however, and they were simply terrible. We took two bites and pushed them aside. Bartender (owner?) asked us if we didnt like them and we politely said no. We didnt ask to be comped but we were charged for both. No big deal but tacky where I come from. Otherwise his service was friendly and helpful.

A fantastic French restaurant on Manhattans East Side with the added bonus of great Reggae music on Wednesdays! I had the salmon with ratatouille and couscous, and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is wonderful—a perfect spot with great food and a great vibe!

Great French bistro, with excellent friendly service with all the menu items you would expect!

Great series and amazing food

Have been here many times the last 6 months. Great food, wine + fair prices. Dont understand the iPads & menus. One or the other- tables too small for 2 giant menus and BRIGHT bulky iPads.

The vegetable risotto was delicious, with just the right amount of truffle. A little pricey for an appetizer, but a lovely spot for a drink

AOC has outstanding french food. Really love the food. Lovely restaurant at upper east side.

Special thanks to the staff for making our visit memorable

Old-school NYC warm Parisian-inspired bar/ restaurant. Was there early on a Friday at 4pm for drinks at the bar and so happy as many restaurants around the same area werent open yet. Bartender and all were super congenial and attentive. Highly recommend.

Great wine selection and happy hour specials for food

Had dinner here with my Mother and Father last week. chef Romains is doing it right. The ratatouille, potatoes Au gratin, and Cassoulet were delicious.

Good outdoor seating and lots of wines and cocktails. Great calamari to keep you snacking and many other treats plus full entrees. Everyone warm and gracious and no rush to move you. 🥂

The Duck Magret was hard like shoe sole, the escargot was to salty for my taste , the charcuterie and cheese was up to par , I will give them another chance in the future if my wife wants to go.

The food is good. But the manager (or owner, not sure, short with dark hair) is beyond rude. He yelled and postured at the older gentleman who asked if theres a seating outside. Completely out of control. I thought ill have to prevent a fight rather than eat. As number of people in the reviews mentioned this person already, someone should teach him a lesson (in customer service).

Cozy and romantic place to dine. Be mindful of what you order and youll have a great time.The charcuterie, cheese plate and ceviche are regrettably underwhelming.The oysters taste fresh and are well priced. The wine is good, and they are willing to accommodate drinks to your tastes.The best thing was the seafood entree with the fried wrapping from the prix fixe menu. It was phenomenal, and I couldnt get enough of it. I dont think its on the regular menu, but I highly recommend it when it is available.

Has jazz on Sundays; true French dishes; excellent French wines but from other counties too and prices not bad.Full recommend it.

Great French neighborhood spot with eclectic decor. Started with VEGETABLE RISOTTO WITH WHITE TRUFFLE OIL and TUNA TARTARE. Followed by TAGLIATELLES À LA CARBONARA and a Friday special, VEAL CORDON BLEU. The food was delicious, especially the carbonara and risotto. Both were creamy and satisfying. Good service and strong drinks. The veal special was a nice surprise; the meet was nice and tender. Will come back again.

I live nearby and walk by this restaurant all the time. People always seem to be having a good time. I finally stopped by for a quick drink on my way home. The place is nice inside and the wine was delicious. Will go back to try the food.

The food and ambiance are fantastic! Over my couple visits Ive been consistently impressed with seafood and steak dishes, and the atmosphere lends itself well to date night as well as small groups of friends.

I had been looking forward to try out this bistro as I love French food and wine and sadly my husband and I were quite disappointed especially with the service yesterday. We were served two glasses of white wine and there were large amounts of sediment at the bottom of my husbands glass. This means that the wine came right from the bottom of a bottle that had been in storage for a long time. When I pointed this out to the waiter, he said in a non-chalant manner that the wine is still safe to drink and there is no problem. I would have expected that he not charge us for that glass if it was a top quality wine bar or at least apologize at the very least. In any case we paid the bill and with the tip regardless but will not be coming back. The escargots and the fried oysters were nothing to write home about either. I rarely complete reviews like but I was so put off by the experience yesterday so I am writing!

Was very disappointed because this restaurant was recommended to us by friends who know that we love French food. We’ve been going through all the French restaurants since moving to the Upper East Side and this one really fell short. My husband and I love escargot and that was really the only dish that stood out. The frisée salad was okay, and the tuna tartare was fresh. However we requested fried oyster sliders yet they brought out plain fried oysters. Once sorrected, they were the tiniest sliders I’ve ever seen. Then both of our our entrees were a disappointment. The pictures of the hanger steak but nothing like what we were served. Not only that, but I asked for my steak, medium rare and it came out medium well. The waiter who had already gotten our oyster order wrong told me that he Ordered it medium but I had asked for medium rare and insisted that that’s what I had asked for. So now the waiter and the kitchen got it wrong. When the manager came over and offered to re-cook my steak, he then asked if I’d like another glass of wine in the meantime. I thought he was offering it to me complementary for the error but he did nothing. On top of that my husbands duck was chewy. I don’t see what there was to rave about here. One would think that with only two tables filled, our orders would have been perfect but the server was outside socializing and leaving tha manager to have to attend to us.

Trying to be supportive of local restaurants within this global pandemic. Stopped by to have some wine and dessert - was promptly notified to get up and leave as they will only serve dinner. Look.... I get it ... you are making the most of table space you have ... however, would not have sat down if not for the fact that the majority of the tables were open. When I actually mentioned I would vacate the seat within 30 minutes the manager even got more rude. Sorry - way too many options in the neighborhood that are happy to serve supporting patrons. Never again.

Such a romantic wine bar. The live music is perfect and sets the atmosphere off so precisely. I ordered a glass of wine-noticed the glass was dirty mid way through drinking- but it didn’t disrupt the taste of the Syrah. The wine here is great, music is great and good pacing must be as well since it was never crowded but there were no empty tables!

UES neighborhood gem; a get-away to EU down the street!Kind service, always a nice glass of wine & selection - ask what you want and you shall receive!Food- I suggest the Mussels, Foie Gras Terrine, Lamb Burger, Ratatouille.- P.S. - Take the time to enjoy your time....put your phone away.

Escargot 10Endive Salad 10The service and ambiance are wonderful. Order the chocolate fondue cake over the crème brûlée

A UES hidden treasure and quite possibly the most romantic restaurant in the neighborhood. And, the food is to die for! Six Stars.

Very good neighborhood spot. They have very good classic French food, a nice wine selection, good service, and a nice atmosphere. The roast chicken and niçoise said were particularly good.

Dear management. Please hire more staff. The food was good but it was clear that they were understaffed. I was here on Thursday 7:45. The long wait between the food (30min) and confusing of the order and getting drinks with sediment are not good for anyone. You have good bones. Hire more staff so that they can pay attention to each customer and details. Your future fan.

Terrible service. The wait staff are rude and actively lied about what they were serving. Not worth wasting your money on somewhere that is pretty expensive given average food and dreadful service. Our situation was that they didn’t have the food on the menu available but be careful if you have any allergies as the staff will say anything if they think it will keep you happy. There are a huge number of better places to go in the same area so don’t waste your time here.

Went here for a light dinner on a Saturday night. The food was very good, and the service was amazing. They constantly came in to check on us, but never rushed us or gave us the check to kick us out. Loved it.

My gf had a hamburger there, it was badly undercooked, she ended up getting food poisoning. Service wasnt good either, they werent polite, do not recommend!

The food was subpar. Duck confit was super oily, French fries soggy, everything else also mediocre. The service was indifferent - could not get anyones attention for something simple like pepper, everything felt rushed. Its like this place is trying to be like Paris but only taking the bad parts...

Cute French bistro slash wine bar on UES. Very friendly, familiar atmosphere with laid back servers and bartender with the appropriate French lilt.Great selection of wine (of course) and a menu full of tasty french dishes. Their version of a risotto was incredible and they didnt skimp on the truffle.

Cute spot in the UES for some good wine and French bistro style eats. Simple but tasty.

Went last week for their Wednesday Reggae; and intend to go back again tonight (Wed).The gastronomie and class are outta this world on any night -- a neighborhood jewel.

My friends and I had an amazing time at AOC East! One of my favorite restaurants on the UES. Greko was our server and he was INCREDIBLE. He was extremely friendly, attentive to our needs and provided great conversation for dinner. AOC is the best❤️

The food is wonderful, Wednesday is live reggae night . Love the atmosphere and friendly service 👌 ❤ great for sat or Sunday brunch too.

Watch out for the sketchy french waiter! He over changed several things. When I confronted him on the sign w/ prices right in front of us he pretended not to have seen it. I havent seen these type of scams since Times Square in the 80s. Btw, the food and wine was just ok, nothing special.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with a great vibe. The food was delicious, well worth the wait. The wine choices was extensive and some of the best tasting ones. The staff really knew their wine and recommended excellent ones based on your taste pallet.

My favorite neighborhood French place. Simple and delicious food. Great coq au vin, hanger steak and $1 oysters at the bar. Good service and good people.

Super busy Friday night. Wait staff was hopping as fast as possible. Delicious salmon, whole branzino, nice portions.

One of my new go to spots in the neighborhood, great wines and bartenders plus live jazz on Wednesdays. Deff recommended!

The reviews must be fake. Terrible French Onion soup, really not sure how it’s possible to mess a classic up this bad, the rest of the food was under seasoned, not a single dish was really worth it.

Decent food but I’m not sure I would call this a “French” bistro.

Hands down favorite wine bar on the UES. Great atmosphere and service. Super fun to go on weekend night when they have amazing live musicians come in.

Nice place.

Rustic and welcoming for a late brunch on a rainy Sunday. Menu options from light to hearty. Try the sweet tea with bourbon.

Great French restaurant to relax and unwind. Amazing seafood, burgers and steaks and a great wine selection. No loud music.

Truly on the mark French bistro style! Great menu choices with generous helpings that dont sacrifice quality for quantity, an appetizers can be a meal! Many points added for serving carbona with an egg yolk to mix in. Old school! Try the vegetable risotto with truffle oil. It is life-affirming. The drink pour is also generous.

This place is a neighborhood gem. Food is delicious, wine pairings are usually spot and the staff is friendly. Sometimes service is slow but probably because they’re always so busy.

This is not authentic. It’s a bar with heavily Americanized French food. It’s environment is appealing but missing direction. Proceed at your discretion.

Refreshing addition to the upper east side. Great happy hour with an extremely accommodating staff.Love their salmon and ratatouille.

Best escargot around, always order it! Walk-in for a casual Sunday night dinner & jazz trio was playing in bar … made for a romantic evening just steps away from our UES apt. Solid French food, everything is delicious & ambiance sweeps you away to classic Parisian bistro.

Always great. A hidden gem. Amazing french food, great service, great prices. Celebrated my birthday there and was amazing as always.

One of my fave neighborhood spots for good food, drinks & atmosphere. We come here all the time!

LOVE IT! Great happy hour $1 Oyster. On a hot day, it was still fresh, creamy and tasty. I went on French Restaurant week so our prix fixe meal was only $17.89 includes a glass of wine and an entree. I had cab and 6oz hanger steak with string beans and my favorite sliced potatoes with melted cheese on top. This reminds of Le Juliette restaurant in Paris. My server Jerome was very attentive and very hardworking running around to make sure all the customers were served in a timely fashion while the other servers were barely there. One only said goodbye when we were leaving. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and Im looking forward to go back again!

Always well prepared and delicious food. Great wine selection.

Very good! Classic French, tried five different dishes, most very nice

Excellent food, excellent service, reasonably priced, especially for the neighborhood. Highly recommend

Delicious food, friendly service, cozy environment

We Stumbled into this restaurant. Was really craving for raw oyster. Due to covid bar $1 oyster deal is off, only $2/ oyster is offered. We had half dozen, very fresh and clean. Ordered Brussel sprout, mushroom spinach risotto and mix match 3 sliders with white wine. Foie gras flan is not Available, bummer, will revisit next time to try. Risotto is so amazingly good, sliders were made to perfection. Beef sliders got sour pickles and Mayo, juicy and tender. Fried oyster slider paired with pickled onion and tartar sauce, seared tuna matches with mashed avocado. Everything was simple but balanced well in taste palette. Well French really know their sauce, even reflects in this American tavern dish. I will definitely come back for pasta and duck confit in the near future.

Great place get the tuna tartare, oysters and carbonara its amazing!

Incredible food and service, strongly recommend!

The food was excellent. Great service.

Interesting French cuisine. Tastes amazing. Great for a change in routine restaurants

Good place for a late drink

I used to go here a lot before Covid when their prices were good and the manager didn’t yell at me. Then they raised prices and the manager got yelly. Would love to return when that guy goes away. Great place great concept. They have music… idk when. Probably good. I miss their mussels.

This a always a really lovely place. The food is great and its options are ideal for a light evening bite or such. For me, this place has been great because I come here with some of my favorite people.So thats my honest recommendation, this is a great place to come with people you love and whose company you enjoy.The food is tasty and you can manage with small bites and drinks. They dont necessarily have an expansive liquor selection but they cover wines fairly well so youll never go thirsty.And as with all good restaurants, the service makes them stand out.

Love this place- a neighborhood gem! Definitely get the cheese plate and you will not be disappointed. I always do chefs choice.

An upper east side institution. Full of colorful regulars, thick French accents and a lively playlist that encourages the good vibes. A bar stocked with not only Gin but a beautiful and value driven selection of wines by the glass and bottle. The menu does not disappoint - try a tray of local oysters with a sidecar of merguez or their foie Gras terrine served the only way it should be, with toasted baguette and a well dressed salad. Live music on Wednesdays livens up the middle of the week and barrels repurposed as tables are a perfect summer happy hour destination. And dont forget the chocolate mousse.

Most lovely place to go on a Saturday night WOW good people good food great reggae band love it one love

Excellent food, amazing staff and great atmosphere !

Best of the best in the neighborhood!Always great service, cute outdoor seating, delicious food and wine

Food is amazing at AOC!! We went for brunch and werent disappointed. I love love love the atmosphere and the owner has such a lovely personality (funny, easygoing and very accommodating). Will be coming back for more treats:)

This is the new location of the old AOC in the village neighborhood. Its run by the same chef owner, so the French-inspired menu is still really good. I recommend the duck confit.

Yum yumm yummm

Always fun, friendly service - on point and great food. Cant miss.

Great wine list and decent food! Questionable ambiance

Disappointed. The onion soup is watery, and the duck confit is overcooked. The escargots dont taste good.

Good vibes and great food...nice scene for a local UES spot

1 dollar oysters with a very French menu. Awesome.

This is my go to spot. Everything on the menu is fantastic. I love love the truffle fries and burger. Wine list is great and the music is always amazing.

A friend had a birthday party there. They served appetizers out side in the covers seating area. We had fried calamari, French fries, grilled sausage meat and cheese tray and veggie dip. All were very good. Service was good too.Every one enjoyed.

Cozy little wine bar on the avenue, complete with an outdoor structure in the road plus sidewalk seating at wine barrels. Ive also sat indoors in the past at the bar. This weekend afternoon we revisited for a relaxing hour or so of people-watching; sadly, no food was to be had though the plates ferried by regularly looked delicious. Friendly servers, reasonable wine prices, and while it is never empty, theres typically available seating for 2 or 4. Great people watching, and no rush to order and reorder while you linger over a glass.

This is a charming, friendly neighborhood French bistro that captures and revives the atmosphere of the restaurants West Village origins. Granted, the UES was never hip, but it used to have a lot more locally owned eateries like this one. We need more people up here like Chef Romain Bonnans! Merci bien, Chef!

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great wine list. Great, friendly service. Were frequent customers. Ive loved everything Ive had. Lamb burger with Roquefort bleu cheese is a delicious recent addition to the menu.

Upscale french inspired restaurant, good food and wine list

Excellent French restaurant with old and new dishes. Everything I had there was truly superb and high quality. Love the staff is all French too -- shows they are legit. Ambiance is cozy and romantic too. Definitely a favorite now if Im in the Upper East Side!

Love this restaurant, food is consistently great and tasty, the guys at the bar are great to talk too, the wine list is great and so are the cocktails, just a great experience overall every time .

This place has such a vibe. Very cool spot. Great wine selection. We also had oysters and they were perfect. Will definitely be back for a full dinner because all the food coming out the kitchen looked great

Wonderful Food and atmosphere. Had a lovely time there

Lose the ridiculous ipad menus! they are awful, and no one wants to read a menu that way. ruins the ambience of what used to be a cute neighborhood place, now feels impersonal and chaotic.

We came here many months ago, and Ive been dreaming about the risotto since.I have tried to make my own risotto, but it doesnt come close to AOCs. Theirs is the perfect golden ratio of mushroom, rice, and cheese. We also got the ratatouille which was very yummy and the croquettes and oysters (we decided to share a few tapas instead of going with the mains).The ambience of this place reminds me of a Parisian cafe. Its dimly lit and swanky. I love the map on the ceiling. Lots of cool decor to stare at while you wait for your food.

Make a fat girl dinner and you have a friend for life. So to whomever made my steak frites with wine sauce tonight, HMU . You did it right. The crème Brûlée with the faint citrus was not even necessary but appreciated.;-)

Great ambience, great menu, good service, delicious food.

Pleasant UES wine bar. Typical $14-19 per glass of wine. Friendly staff. It gets loud when crowded.

I love coming here! French bistro style but not pretentious. Their entire menu is great and their wine pairings are on point! Service is top notch, from the bar to the tables! Always a treat to visit, hang and chill!

Lovely atmosphere with a good selection of wine and small plates

Wines were fine ;Dont recommend the food though .

Those fried oyster sliders with brioche rolls are yumm!

The service was really bad. It could be that we were sitting inside and most of the customers were outside. We were totally ignored. After waiting 20 minutes for my muscles, I was told they were out of it. The food was very good. The wine he suggested was good. After hunting down the waiter for the check, I found out the wine was $19 for almost half a glass. Kind of steep.

Hanger steak is perfect sized & perfectly cooked. The cheese board is great for an app. Love music on Wednesday.

Had the duck confit cooked perfectly.Mussels could use some seasoning.Nice atmosphere

Lovely french restaurant. The lamb chops were delicious! Would recommend!

Ordered from Uber eats. Had a craving for steak, it was A-maze-ingggg. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, great food, and great champagne. Highly recommend the food and wine pairings. Plus everything is surprisingly reasonably priced and the plates are instagram worthy! Definitely coming back.

Its quaint and cute restaurant. Service isnt overbearing and its not too hard to flag down someone when you need something. There are lots of small plate options and they are delicious. The sausages were flavorful and the perfect snap. The fries were salty and crunchy. The kale salad is a common item on many restaurants but this one had a bit of everything. It was a nice blend of the different components and crunch from the pine nuts. The duck confit was so tender but still had nice crispy skin. Its definitely a staple and a good choice for the neighborhood.

Great service Philip was awesome accommodating our crew and stroller. The food was great, prompt and didn’t disappoint from beginning to end.

Great food and wine wonderful staff

My fav neighborhood restaurant for the food and service

This is my favorite French restaurant in the UES and perhaps the city.Both the quality and variety of food offered at A.O.C. can easily compete with French cuisine offered at other three and four star restaurants. Im amazed at how consistently they are able to offer exceptionally prepared meals - for both brunch and dinner - every time I dine here. Their chefs take great care in selecting extremely fresh ingredients for dishes that are expertly prepared. The portions are also quite generous.Skip the one-hour-wait-downtown-brunch nonsense and eat food prepared by people that know how to cook.

Amazing service, drinks, food & atmosphere. Definitely a neighborhood gem. This has to be THE place to visit on the UES.

People said it has good food and good wines, but when at the end of the meal the manager comes to your table and harry you to pay the bill coz they need the table, that is not nice, that did it it for me as well as for my friends, none of us will ever come back to this place!!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere..This is a must go to place. Good wine list, had the mussels, chesse/meat plate..Makes you feel youre in Europe.

The staff is filled with gross little arrogant non French moles.Who do these little men, I guess one would say think they are?As a neighborhood person and New Yorker band together to get these creeps out of the neighborhood,

Always a good experience. Good and service is great.

We loved it! Very nice service, and gooooood food menu items. No wonder it is always so busy!

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Magnificent escargot and very reasonable prices. Informal, not the pseudo-upscale eatery & I love the decor.

Great food & Lovely ambiance. Nice staff and large wine collection. I love this spot

Weve been coming here since they opened. The French menu is modern and very tasty, with generous portions. (Typical brasserie choices, like steak au frites, couscous, salmon, etc.) Desserts are also pretty typical but well-made. The wine list is wonderful! Theres a bottle for every budget. The staff are helpful and hard-working. We like the jovial atmosphere, always busy and bustling. People enjoy lingering here.

Wonderful local spot where you are treated like family, served well prepared French cuisine and great wine -- like great wine.Come for the wine, stay for the food, and top it off with a last glass of Sauternes.

We rented the space for my mothers wake and over payed for it. AFTER we booked our party they booked a birthday party (which they served an hour late). Because they were put in late they were still in the space when we went to set up with the 15 min that we were given for set up. We personally busses the tables (our guests not the staff) at fifteen after we were supposed to be in the space. Our guests were literally standing around in a corner of the restaurant while we waited for the tables to be cleared of a party that should have been gone 30 minutes ago because the staff wasnt good on time. The food was good but NEVER EVER book a party or important event here.

Outside seating area is heated. Very comfortable.Good food, well prepared.

Shared an early lunch outside by the sidewalk. The food was excellent, the service nice, and the wine selection great.

Great goodFantastic french wine list. Excellent service. Fair prices

Chill place, professional friendly bartenders. Good food. Pleasant to eat at bar.

Cozy, great food and great service! Ate and visited with friends for over three hours during brunch and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!

Pleasant surroundings and service. A good bistro. A varying wine list. We ordered a French Rose of Malbec.... very good. The charcuterie as an appetizer is varied and a delicious opener. My wife had union soup and enjoyed it. Dollar oysters at the bar at the cocktail hour.The main course choices are adequate, not excessive. Good choice of specials.

I Sent clients here for a dinner date and they raved about your food and value. I’d recommend you again.

The staff was nice but food was subpar and the wait time for our food was quite long although the restaurant was not busy. Very expensive for the quality.

Good food, reasonably priced for French food. $1 oysters during happy hour!

Nice UES branch of this bistro/wine bar, with good early and late night happy hours.

Small cozy French restaurant. Usually packed on the weekend with wait times >40mins, highly recommend reservationsFood is always good

Outstanding food. Cozy place with attentive and nice staff.

Great French food. Awesome value and the friendliest effective service.

Best wine bar on the upper east, hands down. Wine list is solid and the food is quick, tasty, and well-priced. My go to.

Ambiance is great..... particularly on Wednesday

Good food and cozy but most of all great chill lounge music ...

Lovely romantic ambiance, good service, excellent burger!

The restraut is amazing however the womsn behnd with the th long blank hair is horrific and should be fired.She is rude and disgusting! Absoutley horrifying

Perfect for any occasion - the best french wine, great music, awesome people, and delicious food.

We love this place. Amazing food

Great neighborhood bistro, happy hour until 7 pm

Amzazing place nice food wine and staff !!

Great food and awesome atmosphere.

Charming French atmosphere. Curated wine list with pairings noted for every menu item 💥👌🏻

I didnt dine in the restaurant as it didnt look very clean inside. Very disappointed after traveling an hour to this place.

Favorite place on the upper east side. A+++

Awesome brunch spot

Charming neighbor bistro with some quirks...

Consistently good. A bit crowded at times.

The brunch is amazing! And the veggie risotto is to die for!!!!

It’s ok.

Good french faire worth a visit or two

Coq au vin tasted a bit old

The chocolate mousse was amazing!

Delicious food and drink selection!!!

Brings back memories of living in Paris

Real french feel and cozy.

Fantastic food, wine and ambience

Great place and staff

Very nice place

Nice

Not impressed. The $40 duck tasted like it was reheated and or over done.

Loris is the best!

AOC East is a nice place for dinner, came here on a Friday night without reservation and it was easy to find seats. There are few tables but they have a long bar with tall chairs. This restaurant is a bit pricey considering the plates are small and quality is okay but I just went for a glass of wine and some small bites, so I would need to try more things on the menu to make a better judgment. They have tablets with the menu so you can see pictures and descriptions of each item.First I ordered a glass of BEAUJOLAIS which I quite liked, light body and fruity, good for some appetizers. Then, I ordered the FOIE GRAS TERRINE that comes with a little salad, and a little piece of toasted bread. The flavor of the foie gras was actually quite good and the portion is big, they could just give more bread since the amount of foie gras is actually bigger.The RATATOUILLE was a bit dissapointing, it needed more flavor and was a bit small. It comes with some Crostini to pair.SPANISH:AOC East is a good place to dine, I came here on a Friday night without a reservation and it was easy to find seats.

Everything was perfect, from the wine at the start of the menu, to the oysters, the cheese and the service was on point!

Warm welcome by one of the owners. We had mussels and fries! Very good and fleshy. Very good wine, Sancerre. Good advice from the boss. The only downside is the cold creme brulee! And without vanilla! Price: we are in New York.

A superb atmosphere, Brazilian music and Belgian beer.

Decent food but expensive! Very long service!
