Best French Restaurants in Murray Hill

We always make reservations when we visit NYC so that was the first thing I did when booking our Christmas trip. We love the service, food and ambience. We were stuck in traffic and were running late for our Christmas dinner reservations. We decided to go ahead and continue to the restaurant in hopes that we could still get our table and we did! After a full day of travel and with a hungry 4 year old, it was the best Christmas present ever. This makes me love them even more and why we will always dine with them on our trips to NYC.

What an amazing experience for our first Christmas lunch away from home in Australia. The staff were so friendly and accomodating even on Christmas Day! I never write reviews, but this place - the food, the service, the staff, the setting, even down to the lovely bathrooms. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Quality Bistro - we will certainly never forget this Christmas.

This is my 2nd time here. I made reservations weeks ahead of time due to the holiday. I was only able to get outside lobby area. Upon arrival I asked if anything was available inside and they had high top bar seating available at their “seafood bar”. I was with my friend and our daughters under twenty one. Since it was freezing they wanted the inside. We had no trouble talking and the view from this spot was nice. Our server Dorji was EXCELLENT. He was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions on drinks. We decided on the espresso martini and it was perfect. Our arrival was before 6 so the prix fix was available and you definitely get a lot for your money. The salad was okay but the French onion soup was wonderful and really hit the spot on a cold day. Two of us had the coq au vin and that was delicious. My friend had the steak and was happy. My daughter ordered the NY strip off the regular menu. She loved the fries, enjoyed the steak but said the cut was a little tough. We had crème brûlée which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The location of the restaurant is perfect if you are in town for the holidays. The place was decorated beautifully as well.

We have never been disappointed at this neighborhood gem. Our spinach salad, as well as the escargot, were excellent prefaces to delicious entrees (the cod special and trout). Cocktails lovely, and apple tarte was a fine ending to the meal.

Excellent food that is delicious and creative. The dining space is beautiful.
