   Absolutely amazing. After reading the menu, I had high expectations for our first visit. We were not disappointed. The food and service were incredible and we left full and happy!

   We liked the authentic New Orleans-inspired menu, and the service was good overall. What we did not appreciate, however, was the 3.5% "facilities charge;" we asked our server exactly what this was for, and he explained that it's been standard since the pandemic. That was 5 years ago - why does this still exist? It seems like an obnoxious rip off, frankly. If you've raised your prices, then just be honest about it rather than adding such a ridiculous fee. Much more high-end restaurants don't have this, so why does File? For that reason alone, we would not return.

   Menu has all the New Orleans specialties you are looking for. I have to go back to eat all the ones we didn’t get to order. Service was excellent and attentive. Convenient location, comfortable and refined setting and many happy patrons. So happy to have a solid New Orleans standout in NYC!

   Went for lunch with my co-workers. Enjoyed everything about our meal from the collard green & blackeye pea succotash , crawfish bread to Tiny’s gumbo! Ended our lunch with the chocolate cake that was so good it made me want more!!

   The gumbo was prepared right in front of us ( booked at the bar), the drinks were lovely and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everything was wonderful, thank you!

    We felt the tiny gumbo roux had a burnt taste , the veggie gumbo as well as biscuits did not flavor and the beignets were too doughy. We enjoyed the fried seafood appetizer, Rosie martini and vermentino wine . Overall, food experience was poor . Overall, ambience and service was nice
