Classic fame whoring breakfast spot with amazing eggs benedict.
Milun TesovicApril 5, 2012
Same owners as Minetta. Feels like you're dinning in Paris. French Bistro Theme. Cool decor
David SchorrJune 28, 2014
Insanely expensive relative to what you get. The food is very good but you can easily do just as good, if not better, for far less $$ elsewhere.

If your steak tartare tastes just a wee bit different than usual, thank Philippe Bertineau, the restaurant’s new head chef, who previously cooked at Payard. Read more

Pappardelle with ragu was absolutely delicious! Service not so great.
Nicholas TinsleyNovember 23, 2014
French onion soup and steak frites are excellent.

The egg yolk omelette is the true winner.

Best duck confit ever!
Minka Monica LiAugust 11, 2017
Very disappointed - I used to come here regularly 2004-2008 and the quality was so much better. Today our eggs were overcooked and soggy. Definitely didn't justify the high prices that they charge.

If you like your drinks extra-hot, this is the place for you. Other than that, great breads and pastry.. America does France without seeming like a theme park.

Stumptown cold brew = win! Decent $15 lunch special as well.

Booths are tables numbered 60, 61, and 62. 61 is the best seat in the house.

Great old restaurant in NYC

You have to go to Balthazar if you go to SoHO, it's a tradition

I came for the French onion soup and was disappointed by pretty much everything we ordered. Except for the cappuccino. It is not so French anymore..
Nora KMarch 27, 2015
Went there for breakfast loved the French toast
Ania BańczykAugust 6, 2015
The place is good, the food is delicious but the service is awful. Everyone wants to eat there so they don't care about the clients at all. When you pay that much you want the staff to be helpful. 👎

Not your typical corn beef hash you find at a diner, but still good!

Come early for breakfast - it's always a treat and a delightful way to start the day.

The three level seafood tower is amazing

Order the escargots and hold on to your bread - you'll want it to mop up the incredible garlic butter that comes with the snails.
MuskanApril 12, 2015
Yummy cheese plate and sticky toffee pudding
angela gaylorOctober 12, 2015
Great for a business meeting, but very corporate setting.
