“ My friend was visiting from out of town and wanted steak frites, so where better to get it than a restaurant that is named for that. We got the prix fixe menu. We both started with the salad, then got steak frites. For dessert, I chose chocolate pot de creme and she chose crème brûlée. Everything was delicious except for the pot de creme, which I didn't really like. The whole restaurant smells like onion soup, which is great if you like onions (I do not) and the staff were very nice. When we went on a Saturday morning it was not busy at all. We had made a reservation but doesn't look like it's necessary. ”
“ I went here 6 months ago and I've been thinking about it ever since. As a steak frites afficionada, my dining experience here was nothing short of delightful. I enjoyed the 3 course special they offer, as well as a (strong) dirty martini. The salad was so vibrant and fresh, I've been duping the recipe and making at home in California. My Ode to Steak Frites Bistro. ”
“ What a great dining experience. Our waiter made a couple of suggestions that made a huge difference. First, he suggested that we eat the gnocchi appetizer as soon as it came out. It was one of the best apps I've ever had. It was sinfully rich. He also suggested that we pair our steak with a veal and truffle sauce that was not on the menu. It was a home run. The food is simple but perfectly prepared and delicious with top notch service. ”
“ We made a reservation for Friday night. We ordered the steak frites and they were amazing! Steak was tender and juicy, fries were crispy and delicious. The bread we got was good too. The interior is cute, loved the decor. It's not huge so reservation is a good idea. Service was great! Very reasonable price for steak ”
“ Came for the late night craving for French onion soup! Onion soup was a par with our visit to France. Service was personal and available; I like that. Ambiance was on par with the cafes we visited while in Paris. ”
“ The faux filet (sirloin) was delicious and the server was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My friends and I enjoyed it very much. ”
“ Perfect and just what I needed tonight. Good cocktails, good wines, good atmosphere! Very friendly staff too!! All around I recommend this place as a comfortable bistro with solid food and drink options. Go for it! ”
“ First things first, make a reservation this place can get very busy. Staff is very attentive. The place gives Paris vibes, a little antique and tiny. It's cute. My friend and I opted for the pre fixe dinner menu which is $55 per person. With drinks and tax and tip, it came up to just under $100 each. We had a good time and left VERY full. The meal was great. I do think the onion soup could've been more complex flavor wise, it did get a little monotonous after a while. Chocolate soufflé wasn't sweet or chocolatey enough (funnily), so I would recommend the creme brûlée over that. All in all, I think it's worth it. Didn't leave with any regrets and look forward to returning soon :) ”
“ Love this hidden gem right near the Theater District! If you love classic French food, this is the spot for you! The design makes you feel like you are in a real French bistro! The workers are all friendly and make you feel very welcome. It is small, so I would suggest making a reservation! Last night, I had the moulin rouge cocktail, which was like a less tart cosmo. Very tasty and not too sweet! I also had the moules frites, which is my favorite entree here! The broth is full of flavor and the fries are salty and delicious! I love that the fries come with mayo and ketchup. We were a party of 5, and everyone loved their choices! The steak frites are obviously their signature and my dad loved them. I definitely recommend this cozy spot for a less touristy pre/post theater option! ”
