Nina PaparattoJanuary 19, 2017Came here with my parents. Everything was outstanding. Burrata special, pork ribs, polenta and the star - the Orichette with white sauce OMG
Excellent food, friendly service and you can even bring your dog id you're earing outside. They will provide water for the dog. Nice place
Colleen MaguireDecember 25, 2013One of my favorite restaurants ever! Never bother with going into NYC for French food... Never had anything that isn't amazing!
Meghann KelleyMarch 4, 2017Great brunch! goat cheese croquette is amaaaaazing. Staff is fantastic as well
Karthik RamanAugust 12, 2021Cassoulet was flavorful and filling. Staff was patient and explained all the terms we were unfamiliar with and didn't make us feel bad about it. No wait for a table for Thursday lunch.
We like the authenticity of the French bistro food if you was in the southern part of France.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzApril 25, 2015Really solid all you can eat mussels deal, especially liked the creamy Normandy
You absolutely have to get their angus beef chili, mac n cheese, and their sliders... Love their bar menu
Sandeep AyyappanAugust 26, 2016Fried soft shell crab special was amazing! Great outdoor space on a nice night
Jen MarguliesAugust 12, 2012Perfect neighborhood spot for casual patio dining !! Or just a glass of wine !
- Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 12, 2015The all you can eat mussels on Monday has gotten quite bad. The mussels are small, have no meat in them and are of very inferior quality.
Summer wine to get is the Cotes de Gascogne Dom. Duffour. Light and yummy!- Not on the menu but they make meat and cheese platters that are great. Just ask and they will one together for you.
Mullica ZudsiriApril 30, 2015Average quality French food. Expected more flavorful stuff from all the reviews. Service was okay. Don't pick up just get delivery or sit down.
JessSeptember 15, 2010Monday - football and all-you-can-eat mussels in a French bistro atmosphere. What's not to like?
TanyaNovember 18, 2012Intimate spot for a small group or date. Snooty service, but maybe that's just the French vibe.
Christopher MeattoFebruary 21, 2010Friday night Mhairi behind bar, turns into a U.K. paradise. Good food, nicely hip and eclectic crowd Read more
Gökçe DalkılıçNovember 10, 2019This place might be good for dinner bur definitely not good for brunch. nothing we tried tasted good
Jason KelliherAugust 25, 2013Food definitely met expectation based on other reviews. Also very understaffed. Food took long time to come out. Over twenty minutes for apps
Decent food but a great crowd -- our friendly neighborhood place!
- JC RealtorAugust 12, 2013Stay away. The owner is an ass hole. Service sucks. Get extra servers on your bussiest night.

"Cool hidden space away from the main drag. I'd recommend the Croque Madame or the Eggs Benedict, but you must save room for a dessert crepé - favorite is the chocolat bananes (not too sweet)!"
