Named after Jacques Cartier, who, in 1534, tried to sail west to Asia and instead got lost in the inland waters of Newfoundland. He claimed Canada for the king of France, thinking it was Asia.
ᴡ ArcusFebruary 3, 2013For 31st bday wanted a spirited bar for 30 married 30-somethings, but not over the top. PERFECT. DJ wasn't too loud, not too crowded, drinks & service were amazing, and properly kept separate checks.
Raphael LangenscheidtNovember 17, 2015Loved the steak and the oysters. Onion soup looked amazing too. Great little spot, nice for groups. Music a bit off though.
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013Happy hour at this cocktail bar runs until 9 p.m. with two for one select cocktails that you can mix and match.
harryhJune 13, 2012The menu is a little wacky, but I loved the space and both the food (tuna tartare) and drinks (goldrush) I had were done very well. Recommended!

Amazing service. Food & drinks taste are always phenomenal. I had doubt while in renovation but even better. No bad comment I can say about it.
Cold Stella on a warm day. Great spot! Outdoor seating and friendly staff.
AskMenNovember 12, 2010Beverages, by the Contemporary Cocktails team, touch down in the Americas, French Polynesia, Africa, & Asia for high-minded sips like Bang the Drum, Code Noir & the Halong Bay Cooler.
Night. Ella on the speakers. TCM on the television. Glen' on the rocks. — Great for a catchup. Split the steak au poivre and veal risotto with someone.
Chris WAugust 29, 2012Steak au Poivre huge & delicious. Hanger steak smaller, cheaper but equally delicious. Both perfectly cooked. Cash/AMEX only.
Felix SargentNovember 16, 2014Great food, fairly priced, but it does feel like it's more setup for French tourists than people who live nearby.
Victoria NatenzonJune 3, 2014Seems like a cute cocktail bar but actually also has delicious food. Would reco for comfort foods. NOM NOM
Justin and James will take good care of you! Killer cocktails and a great spot for a cool night out on the town.

Suri RJanuary 17, 2013I recommend taking one of the four seats at the bar, and ordering off the menu. Happy hour weekdays till 8!
@JaumePrimeroNovember 26, 2011The Saigon Folly: the only time I have ever tried pepper infused gin. Brilliant drink.- Profiteroles, fish & chips, steak tar tare, great people watching for drinks al fresco
mktgJanuary 22, 2012ALL YOU CAN EAT MUSSELS! Every Monday night - all you can eat moules + frites for only $23.
Tuna tartare, moules marinieres, and a glass of rosé will complement the views from this perfect neighborhood spectating perch.
Elyse EstradaJanuary 13, 2012The smokey brown is fantastic if that's what you're into which you should be.
Jetset jimFebruary 7, 2011Great little Resturant. Nice friendly service and they remember me and I haven been here in 18 months
Mussels and fries are plentiful. Can never get enough but can never eat them all!
Daniel KriegerNovember 15, 2010Napoleon's Loss is a great drink. Anejo tequila topped w mescal and a Ginger/agave syrup....very nice
AmandaFebruary 9, 2014The service wasn't so good since they couldn't even understood a reservation for 8pm for 7 people and kept mixing up the numbers and originally lost the reservation. The beef borboignon beef was gross
LindseyJune 21, 2013Too bad about this place. Their food and cocktails are halfway decent, but the servers will try to screw you every time. CHECK YOUR BILL. First time I thought it was a mistake. Now I know better.
Katerina AnnaNovember 29, 2014The music is so bad that makes the whole experience in this place a no-no! Food is ok
Foreign Legion punch is amazing, but a good night starts with the Absinthe Fountain...
David AlexanderAugust 4, 2012Don't order red meat, they can't figure out what medium rare or medium is they have only raw an well done, but as our waiter tried to explain, it's because the chef is French??? Bernaise was watery
