Food was meh but service was quick with the kids. Overpriced for gray tuna tartare (server took it off our bill), skip the steak frites. Just get the burger and you'll be good.
Great food and location spoiled by near terrible serving. The server spilled coke all over my wife and her LV purse. Just a non-sincere feeling “sorry”. We didn't want to make a scene given we're with 10 other people. Nothing comped or given even though we now have to dry clean. The split bill was nice, but getting rushed out by your server after spending hundreds of dollars on a birthday dinner is never fun. Oh yeah also no mention or cares that it was my wife's birthday.
The Happy Hour menu was good and prices ok. The presence of so many pigeons took away from the atmosphere. My husband asked for sweetener for his iced tea and ended up getting it for himself at the bar. It wasn't a bad experience, but not sure if I would go back.
First time there and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very busy when we arrived at 1 pm on a Saturday. I was happy I had made. Reservation.
Loved this place! Food was fantastic as was the service. There's a variety of different food options, we chose grilled salmon and steak and frites, both amazing. Can't wait to return!
Quite possibly the worst service I have ever experienced in eating out, which we do approximately four times a week. After being sat down, our drink and food order was taken and we never saw our server the entire time until we had to ask a different server for our check. My wife ordered the steak frites, She ordered the steak medium rare and it was actually well done!  we did not have an opportunity for them to correct it because we never saw our waiter. My wife glanced inside the restaurant and saw our waiter sitting in a booth with the host taking a lunch break.  We should have stuck with our regular, Lido bottle works or Shorebird. We will never visit this restaurant again. 
Food was delish. We ate the grilled salmon, steak and frites, and Le Hamburger for dinner. Service was OK. None of the servers spoke French. We are of French descent and other than the name, the place didn't feel very French. Also, it was my birthday, and I indicated such on the reservation. However, the server did not greet us with a "Who's birthday is it tonight?" and the place did not offer a birthday dessert. Only noticed because most restaurants ask. Not trying to get something for free and ordered the flourless chocolate cake w/vanilla gelato. It was yummy. Overall, it was good, but we probably won't return.
Fantastic food, warm atmosphere, and excellent service. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!
Steak frites was ordered medium with chimichurri on the side and came back well done with chimichurri on top. It was sent back and came back corrected. By that point, my husband's meal was finished. Nothing was offered in the meantime while I waited, and nothing was taken off our bill to compensate. My husband's bolognese was okay, definitely nothing special. The best part of the experience was the ambiance. Everything else needs improvement.
A beautiful location with water views delicious food and wonderful service. We had a good time.

great mussels, nice wine by the glass (selection heavy with nice French wines), great setting, fabulous service.
The atmosphere and ambiance are always so inviting and pleasant. Their food and desserts are absolutely to die for — truly impeccable! It's hands down my favorite spot in Lido. I keep going back and somehow, I always leave wanting more!
The food and service were excellent. Very attentive staff However around 7:30 the music was so load everyone had to shout to be heard. I noticed it at all the tables around us. so much so that we had to leave which was unfortunate. Other than that, it is very pleasant place to have a meal
First time here and will definitely be going back! Food was sooooo good and service was great! And you can't ask for a better view! Sat outside but the inside is sooooo cute too!!!
The location was great and the service was good. However their menu was disjointed, each person in out party had a hard time figuring out where the different foods were. They need to get a better graphic designer and menu layout person, it looked like it was done by a 7 year old. It you are expecting good drinks, you'll be sadly disappointed since they only serve beer and wine and even that list was very sparse. The food was meh and the offerings seemed all over the place as well. I wouldn't say this place was "French" by any stretch of the imagination. I honestly had a hard time picking. However, the broccolini was great as were the green beans, but my main meal was just flat. I had high hopes but was left uninspired.
