    Made a reservation for 2 and we were seated right away. Everyone was super friendly and quick. We had the tartare appetizer, lamb chops, and gnocchi. Nothing was left behind... The food was super fresh and delicious! My husband doesn't typically like tuna, but he tried this and ate half my appetizer. I was so surprised!

    My burger came out well done despite asking for medium rare. The host and our waitress offered to redo it for me but I didn't want to contribute to waste. They ended up comping me for it. Everything else from the endive salad, to the escargot specially and my wife's Coq Au Vin were great. We would come back here again. I'll just stay away from the burger next time :-)

    Very friendly staff, especially the manager who is gracious and attentive; wants everything to be just right. Appreciate his considerations tonight! Top quality food which is excellent except the drinks should have a better pour, and the cappuccino was tasteless. No one rushes you and the restaurant feels like a bistro in France. Prices can be more reasonable for a restaurant on Delancey, but it’s 2025. Will return.

    Overall fantastic place, great service and excellent food. A real bistro. Balthazar for us is not worth the trip anymore after discovering this one

    Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food—went with French comfort food on a bitter cold night: cassoulet and salmon, both very good. Wait staff was wonderful and it was my birthday so they did what I wish all restaurants would do: give you a little celebration without drawing everyone's attention to you! Will definitely go back.

    Food was delicious but drinks, bread, appetizer and main course for the four of us were all served within a brisk 65 minutes. Seemed unnecessary, considering the open tables; and frankly not very French. We mentioned twice that we had a birthday at our table but while the next table -- also celebrating a birthday -- received a candle atop their dessert we received nothing. Good wine selection but overall sadly not a lot to set this rushed experience apart from many other choices in NYC.
