I had not been to Deux Amis in a few months. After dinner last night I certainly won't wait so long to go back. There were five of us and everything we ordered—appetizers, entrees, and dessert—was wonderful.

Deux Amis is one of my go-to locations near Grand Central Terminal (it's about a 10-15 minute walk). If you enjoy French cuisine, the food is excellent (I particularly love their escargots, which are often Americanized, but here they are very much like what you would find in Paris). For lunch, it's a great spot because it's quiet and you are not rushed out. For dinner, it can get quite busy and is a bit louder.

Cozy very convenient for people who drive in from Long Island because there is a garage across the street. Wines are nice and menu is reasonable.

I rely on this neighborhood gem to continue to deliver wonderful French food and great service that makes one feel like family. Good selection on wine and a staff that is well informed on how the food is made. An enjoyable experience.

Expected better dinner experience but unfortunately it was not up to the expectations. Mediocre food horrible French fries. Cous Cous was certainly was not a cous cous.

Food doesn't taste nearly as good as to justify the prices.

A wonderful neighborhood bistro! A most comfortable bôite for a languid evening of pleasant company and delicious food. The service is more than hospitable, Sybele (sp?) and Janusz took exceptionally good care of our party of 4. It is always a treat to introduce friends to this delightful spot. It very much reminds me of a favorite place on the East Bank in Paris. We enjoyed our food and the company so much that we closed the place down - and not for the first time. It is a rare gem.
This is our neighborhood gem. The kitchen is consistent. The service is personal. Bucky, Sam, Zahir, Janosh and everyone. Faves: duck confit, chicken couscous, veal risotto, scallops, escargot.

Food was very good but it took forever to get the check. Luckily I didn't have to be anywhere.

Super nice French bistro/restaurant. I went by myself a week night and the atmosphere was really nice, the service friendly and the food was excellent.

What a gem! There are literally 11 French restaurants in this neighborhood but Deux Amis rings all the right bells. Classic French atmosphere; mahogany bar, white table cloths, burgundy red accents.
We sat at the bar (always my preference). We started with the Gazpacho and Vol Au Vent. The Vol Au Vent was crazy delicious. Perfect starter to split if you’re hungry (intensely satisfying flavors and buttery pie crust). The gazpacho was very basic tomato and very soupy smooth, but nonetheless uber refreshing and light. We were each served warm bread rolls with chilled salted butter with the appetizers.
For entrees, we had the chicken and the burger. The chicken breast was crazy juicy and tender for a breast cut, and served with a altoiid box sized piece of potato gratin. The gratin was unbelievable. You could see the thyme leaves and taste the grounding comfort food vibes. We (as always) ordered the burger rare. It came with fries and salad. Holy smokes was it cooked perfectly. It’s the kind of thing you bite and start singing AND IIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUU in your head.
Zahir was a legend. He made us feel right at home.
