    Brunch Tip of the Millennium: Order a breakfast burger as an amuse-bouche, ask to have it split 4 ways. #fatdenny

    Get the black label done medium bc getting it rare takes away from the incrdibleness of the cooked flavor. Do get the marrow appetizer and eat it w/the onions. Go to heaven. Thank me later.

    roasted chicken salad is flavorful and a perfect choice if you're not in the burger mood... And the 3 layer coconut cake is straight up phenom.

    The menu—a compilation of hits from bistros around the world—is utterly likable. You can choose between roast chicken, côte de boeuf, a fine plate of American cheeses.

    We have been there a number of time today the food and the service were really bad. Bar was not active fries were soggy salmon not tasty and the service was way below par also a rocking table.

    Favorite new date night spot. The cote de boeuf for two is great, and the famed $26 burger is worth every penny.

    Huîtres Et Crépinettes or go home. Pasta Za Za is excellent as well.

    Black label burger and chocolate souffle, service, lighting, decor: all great. Table layout: unfortunately, horrible. Waaay too many people seated too close to each other, and deafeningly loud.

    Fillet mignon au roquefort and the pasta zsa zsa are two great dishes in this town.

    Tad on the salty side. I was glad I sub'd my fries for a salad, which helped balance things out. Everyone else had fries & we all agreed they were too salty!

    the "minetta' burger is to die for. Made with organic meet and not too big, have it and skip dessert. Must have the rose champagne perfect for summer

    Awesome vibe but came away disappointed with the black label burger. Ordered medium rare yet it fell apart like raw beef

    Black label burger lives up to the hype. Not a fan of sitting super close to the table next to you though - you can hear every word that they say...

    Seriously, everyone talks about the burger.... But try the filet mignon. The aligot is also a MUST.

    The $26 burgers aren't the only reason to come here. An Italian restaurant that once occupied this site, serving Beat poets and pub crawlers, left many of its decor pieces behind.

    Black label burger is great. Atmosphere is very masculine and old school. Tables of old men.

    A Black Label Burger with a glass of Bordeaux? You can’t possibly go wrong with that combination. Try it for yourself. We dare you!

    NY. Delicious late night bistro spot. Our must-haves: roasted bone marrow, beef tartare and of course the black label burger.

    Very much recognized for the black label burger and it is massive, but my money is on their bone marrow.
