Coming Soon! Opening 7 Days for Dinner and Sunday Brunch - Starting September 24thChef Aless had been cooking French food in NYC at Mon Petit Cafe, her NYC family owned business until 2017. She then opened a successful catering company that's still going strong. She joined forces with her husband Justin a successful NYC restauranteur to create Brasserie. Signature dishes are "Parisian" specialties such as Steak au Poivre, coq au vin and seafood towers. The couple also serves "American" fare with a French twist like the bistro burger and other amazing treats like mussels and fries.Chef Aless was featured on Food Networks Chopped!! Google the "snails episode" The restaurant vibe and decor is a replica of both Parisian and NYC French brasseries. The hospitality is both inviting and professional. The food is simply perfection as Chef grew up on her grandparents vineyard in France and French food comes naturally.

The food was authentic and perfectly done, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy yet lively. Chef (and owner) Aless added greatly to our experience and she is perfectly suited as a restaurateur. A fine French restaurant was sorely needed in the area. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

We had a very nice Valentine Day dinner off the special menu. We had the Oysters Rockerfeller, they were not traditional but very good. The heart shaped ravioli were delicious. The mains were lobster tails and steak au povire. The mains were very good, I just wish the steak was a tad more tender. Portions were generous and we took some home. Our waitress was fabulous. Great place.
