Excellent menu here - a lot of options from Croque Monsieur to Moules. The spiked hot apple cider is delicious. And don't forget to try the Tarte Tatin! Friendly staff, and a chilled atmosphere. We'll be back!
Effortlessly cool, with super friendly, relaxed service. Lovely neighborhood

The winter salad was ridiculously small and not a salad. There was no cider which is weird for a « crêperie »

I’ve been a loyal customer at Le Gamin for 5.5 years, loving the brunches and friendly staff. However, today’s experience with one server was disappointing. While outwardly polite, displayed an underlying rudeness and an unwelcoming attitude. This set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the visit. He unnecessarily corrected my daughter, stating that they serve crêpes, not pancakes and seemed dismissive when we ordered. The “Quebecoise” dish I received looked unappetizing - like watery porridge, attaching pic - and was impossible to eat. When I expressed my concern, he only offered a cookie as compensation but saying he will still charge for the dish. I ordered an alternative that was a safe choice. This review is specific to today’s service with this server; the rest of the team has always been fantastic. I hope they improve their approach in the future.

The food is delicious. The ambiance is perfection. And the service is immaculate. Michael served us today and we were so annoying and he accommodated everything for us without batting an eye. Love this spot.

Food was okay, but our server was extremely nice! I got an omelette and the white peach sangria. The sangria was so tart I couldn’t drink it.

Good food, but the servers never come to the table if you wanna order more…probably because there was only 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon: one male w a ponytail and one male w short dark hair. I walked in and was met by a female worker who told me to wait for a table inside…I asked her if she needed my name or number and she said they didn’t need. So I waited outside the restaurant by the door bc inside was cramped. After a while I go in bc I was scared someone was going to get my table as a walk in, and these girls w no reservation walk in and they get the first table available without having to wait and were seated by the male server with the pony tail. I didn’t make a big deal bc I got a table not too long after another table opened up. What bothered me was that at the end of my meal I told the waiter (male dark short hair) about how they should be more careful about keeping track of walk ins…and gave him my example that the table the other girls got should have been mine… the waiter (male w dark short hair) said that I was seated according and that those girls were on a waiting list and that the Girls came back. I know the waiter (the male w dark short hair) was lying because I was right behind them when I heard the girls saying how it’s their lucky day that didn’t have reservations and got a table right away. Also how could there be a wait list if they never took down my name? Ultimately the servers don’t communicate w each other or have a system for walk in… I go eat to both locations all the time, but the waiter w short dark hair made me feel bad w his defensive reasons which were not true…And my friends told me he gave me a dirty look and rolled his eyes at me after that. I even tipped the normal amount bc I get it that it’s hard being understaffed but the waiter making me feel bad as a customer is a huge turnoff.
The location in Sharon, CT has more much service than Brooklyn location

this place used to be a favorite — in every location, for many years — but now, it seems, they’re doing an idea of french food but it’s not good and the waiter seemed in over his head with only two tables.
Stopped at this cute French restaurant for Bastille Day, and it was such a happy surprise. The food was very authentic and delicious and service was super friendly (we were offered a free second glass of wine!). definitely recommend for a good French spot in Greenpoint! Had the escargots, artichaut, croque madame, and duck confit.

Updating from 5 to 2 stars due to their health inspection results. Rats, mice, filth flies and unsanitary conditions aren’t acceptable in my opinion. A real shame as I lovedddd this spot!
Please clean it up there and I’ll come back when you do!
