“Had to swing by the new Boucherie and see what this new addition was bringing to the Chicago scene. My visit on a Sunday at 7:30pm was way different than my visit on a Thursday night at 8:30pm. Sunday was calm, spacious with a very moderate noise level but Thursday night was oddly the complete opposite - it was loud, busy and had much less space! 😂 I’d definitely say be cognizant of that when you go; the vibes can vary. The drinks were good - my favorite was “La vie en rose” and the French martini was tasty as well. Loved the escargots and the garlic butter sauce they were drowned in! I also had the saumon roti and that choron sauce on top was delish! I wasn’t a fan of the Paris-Brest for dessert, but the crème brûlée was good! The interior is so beautiful! 😍 Stop by for a visit and see how you like this new Chicago restaurant! Ask for Manuel to be your waiter - he was the best!!!“

“Great late lunch on a nice spring day. Moules Frites were excellent“

“Food and service spectacular. Beautiful room.“

“Friendly staff, we were not rushed and were made to feel welcome. A perfect spot to pass an hour in a soggy day! (Though skip the Apple tart for dessert - super soggy)“

“The food the service overall everything is impeccable“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Very chic city atmosphere with a beautiful bar & dining area indoors. The food and service was outstanding.“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“Great location and very intimate setting/decor. Very classy and friendly service. Modern French cuisine is delicious and trendy; it is much better than the traditional French food, which is getting old and tired. Good selection of fine wines.“

“My wife and I had a lovely little date night at this cute little French restaurant! The food was delicious, and the staff were so nice. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer, French onion spaghetti (which was downright amazing!), and the steak & frites. The steak was perfectly cooked medium-rare, soft and juicy. We got the creme brulee for dessert, which was very well done. The portion sizes were perfectly filling too!

The goat cheese was just ok for us, which the waitress asked us about - we didn't complain at all, just mentioned that we didn't want to pack it home since we're staying at a hotel and don't have an oven or air-fryer to properly heat it up, but because she knew that we didn't like it as much, her and the owner offered us their Spanish cheesecake as consolidation to take home for free. They really did not have to, but that is some solid A+ customer service and we appreciate them so much for being so nice.

Definitely recommend this place! Thank you so much again!“

“My steak was delicious. It’s a great late night place with a cool vibe.“

“This restaurant blew me away, which I was not expecting. Everything about it was magnificent. Plus top end food and service without any stuffiness. Plus they had a wonderful restaurant week menu on top of a legitimate strawberry shortcake. Will definitely go again and take friends. What a place!“

“Everything about Le Bernardin was excellent. Our every need was anticipated by the service staff. The wine list was spectacular, we had a Napa Valley Semillon that was excellent. Cocktails were perfectly balanced my husband had the 57th Manhattan, I had the Magnolia Lane and my cousin the Tigre Valley, all superb. We had the four course Prix fixe menu - all of our selections were excellent, every bite and flavor simply made sense. All four of us chose the pistachio dessert which we all declared to be the best bite we had ever had. Zero regrets about dining at Le Bernardin for our Anniversary. It made our trip to Manhattan truly complete. We were blessed to see Chef Eric Ripert twice in the dining room. Zero complaints, truly spectacular in every way.“

“We have nothing to say but what a lovely NYC dining experience!.. The food was superb but John was the one that made your place stood out with his exceptional service! He truly went above and beyond to take care of our big group that had multiple requests and changes but John handled it like a pro….merci beaucoup💕“

“Great!“

“New York is one of the world's great cities, a global center for media, entertainment, arts, fashion, research, finance and trade. This busy, modern city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world and the most populous city in the United States.“

“Phenomenal French food, one of the best meals I have ever had. Truly a hidden gem.“

“It's wonderful. French and American fusion. I love the (Tasting Menu) part.“

“We had a wonderful brunch at Lafayette. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. Our server was wonderful and attentive! The vibe and the ambiance are so chic! 10/10“

“Great French place. Tough to get in. Go early.“

“The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Croque Madame. Lena was a spectacular server, we could not have asked for better.“

“Just go. We are out-of-towners. Made the reservation (set an alarm) and everything was fantastic. Start to finish. The atmosphere is pure hospitality and good cheer. Our table wasn't ready, but we waited 5 minutes or less at the bar. The bartender put on a complete show and the cocktails were, well, just what anybody wants in a well-cratfted, well-made drink. When seated our waiter had spent time in our home town and we bonded. I loved how there was no rush, complete explanation of everything.....and genuine warmth. The food---every course was tantalizing and delicious. I ordered the escargot, the onglet steak. I was in a food coma and I honestly don't remember what others ordered. Except, the fish with potato fish scales. A thin of beauty, and, exceptional taste. Then, OMG, the desserts. My 3 guests all went for apple/tartes with ice cream. might have been peach. I don't do cooked fruit. Me, yup, straight to the cheese. We were there 4 hours and thought we might be late for our Birdland Jazz concert. But, we wrapped up and headed out. Shout out to the very cool, enthusiastic woman at the door who met us when we arrived. Can't wait to visit NYC again and make a fast run to Le Veau d'Or.

Just go. THE END.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. The food is great, especially the French onion soup. Definitely a go-to spot for me and my wife when visiting NYC.“

“We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Le Jardinier. The food from appetizers to entree to dessert was beautifully plated and excellently prepared. My duck entree was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and among the most tender I have had, and the blend of carrots and carrot purée, orange reduction, and wine sauce worked perfectly. The chocolate cremeaux was delicious - chocolaty yet light. Notably, the vegan ice cream was superb - I would not have known it was vegan if they didn’t say so. The service was very attentive and thorough, although the waiter was a bit inexperienced about the food. They were very generous helping us celebrate our anniversary, which I really appreciated.

Dietary restrictions: One member of our party has celiac disease, and they were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.“

“Dining at Le Rivage has become a family tradition. My MIL would eat there when she lived in NYC decades ago. She returned with her son (my husband) when he was young. Now, in 2025, we took our boys there on their first visit to NYC. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is always wonderful. Highly recommended.“

“This place is a great restaurant. The atmosphere really reflects a parisian Bistro. The food is very good. I gave a neutral stars rating for the service, not because it was bad, but because the waiters were very busy so they were kinda in a hurry to take our order and it took them a while to check on us to see if we needed anything else, on and off the menu. Anyways, I really recommend to have lunch or dinner there, preferably not at the peak hours and you'll probably a 5 star experience“

“Great food, great staff, great restaurant“

“Worth trying place. Food was good“

“Cool place and enjoy the food, drink , enironment.“

“Everything is delicious! The grilled cheese was our favorite!“

“We fancied a light brunch on our way up to the Broadway theatre for a matinee show of The Buena Vista Social Club and as we had enjoyed our brunch at the Tartinery café & bar in Greenwich Village last week, we decided to try their branch on Park Ave.
The café was very busy with a lot of office workers having lunch, however, we were shown to a small table for two without having to wait. The menu at this branch was very silmilar to the one at Greenwich Village, however, they didn't have the eggs benedict my wife really enjoyed there, so she had the avocado on toast with the additional of a soft poached eggs today, which she really enjoyed, and a latte. I went for the lunch combo deal of a delicious creamy chestnut & mushroom soup with a fantastic chicken salad petite tartine with celery & pistachio. We also ordered a very tasty ham & cheese croissant to share whilst we waited for our main courses.
We were served by a very friendly and helpful waitress and used the male & female toilets at the back of the café. There's also a takeaway counter near the entrance selling pastries & hot drinks to go.“

“Overall fantastic food, but a couple of the dishes were over salted (leeks and chittara especially)

Will be back for the chicken liver parfait and the duck and the wine. Great service. Most of the wine on the list is natural which I don’t normally like (I prefer tradition/ classically made wine) and our server helped us find something we would enjoy. We had a delicious Provençal red.“

“Amazing food and ambiance.“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“Brought my daughter in this evening to celebrate her successful application for a student visa to France. Could not have been more pleased with the service provided by Patrick and everyone else. (You know you’re in the right place when an off the cuff Monty Python joke lands perfectly and a reference to your Clash t-shirt is made in appreciation). The food and drinks were top-notch. Thank you all for making our special day and first visit to NYC so amazing!“

“One of my favorite place to go in the city ! Very friendly people and food 🥘 is always great 😊“

“c´est bon, joli, convivial. une bonne adresse à pratiquer 👍“

“Very nice atmosphere - :)“

“It was a wonderful experience our waiter and everyone was just fantastic and the food was amazing!!“

“Honestly, La Ripaille is fine. The wine selection is good, the servers are very nice, however the owner is exceptionally rude and uncomfortable to be around. He openly scolded servers doing a fantastic job in the middle of the dining room for no reason. The food is good enough, but a bit overpriced. That being said, the fries taste remarkably like fries that I'm sure you've had before... that's all I'll say about that if you get what I mean. Overall, pretty good, would consider going back.“

“Great place, delicious food, attentive staff …“

“OMG!! The bartender Wahid was so amazing all of my drinks was perfect he made them to perfection, him and Diogo made a great team making sure if I’m comfortable and needed anything else I will surely be be back here again to experience both of them“

“One of NYC’s best kept little secrets right smack dab in your face. Excellent service. Sit at the bar if you can’t get a reservation. It’s with it. The bartenders cater to your every request. Tenured mixologists will deliver exactly whatever you crave. The food is not five star, but it’s good. The atmosphere carries the old Manhattan charm. Great to visit pre and post Radio City Music Hall show.“

“The place is really pretty and quiet if you even wanna hang out or work a little bit here.
People were super nice and you have plenty of sweet choices

Vegetarian options: Not their focus, but good options

Dietary restrictions: They have everything properly labeled

Parking: You have to park in the main street

Kid-friendliness: Kids can go but it's not the kind of place for them

Wheelchair accessibility: Kinda easy to access with wheelchair“

“The food is amazing and the ambiance is just what I love about this city must visit!!! 🤩“
