CompassAugust 12, 2013Francophiles swear by the understated takes on traditional french fare, from breakfast crepes and simple salads to herbed mussel pots.
Trevor JohnJuly 10, 2013Tuesday all you can eat muscles and fries. Beer is expensive but the food is worth it. The pâté was delicious as well.
Logan TraceyDecember 31, 2013Best croque Madame I've had in a while. Also get a big cozy cup of cafe au lait.
Philip MNovember 28, 2012Like other tips here, agreed the food is very good. My only quibble is that for glass of wine, the pour seems a bit on the small side.
LindaJune 7, 2013Vegetarian Gamin is wonderful (great for glutoids like me) with an iced Americano. Actually, I LOVE this place.
Kathryn WhitleyDecember 11, 2010I love the size of their wonderful cafe au lait mugs. I went during a freezing cold, off-time, but the service was efficient and friendly and the space was cozy.
Ross BernardDecember 30, 2011This place rocks. Great food. Hidden gem of prospects heights. Try the shell steak sandwich. Crepes are fantastic too
Get a crêpe complete. It's on the brunch menu but available anytime. For the full experience, ask for maple syrup on the side.
Lauren DowningAugust 18, 2013Hot date spot. The little garden is a total hidden gem in the neighborhood.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCOctober 19, 2010You could have coffee with your meal here, or fight the urge and stop by Sit & Wonder nearby for some Stumptown tastiness!
The beet soup w/ creme fraiche,Gamin salad, & Bordeaux blanc. Perfect lunch on a Fall day!
Wifi. Free!! French onion soup: awesome. Cappuccino: delicious.
Shmaltz Brewing NYCJuly 20, 2011The bowl of Cafe au Lait rules. Also check out the salmon/basil cream crepe
French Onion Soup and Quiche Lorraine with a glass of red makes for a perfect winter dinner.
Get here before 10am in the summer and sit and the garden.
- EatMeDrinkMeNYCOctober 19, 2010The complete crepe is awesome. I can't help buy get it every time I go!

Sigurd KvernmoenApril 7, 2013Paid 20 for a 16 check, wasn't returned money. Slow service. Too bad, because the food is delicious.
- KDKA MMarch 13, 2010Reliable local. Uneven service. Don't bring the check without asking if we want anything else.

"Ideal French bistro: good food at very good price and laissez-faire attitude (this is a good thing). Please visit again and again, we need more places like Olivier!"
Jim Herman - 5.8
"It was busy, they were insulting customers and charging things fraudulently. The owner told me I was a "sale race" and "putin de crevard" (which mean "dirty race" and "fucking stinge"). Never again."
