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

“Food and service spectacular. Beautiful room.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“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 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 👍🏻“

“Great food. Great presentation. Very attentive service!“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“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“

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

“There’s a point of France here in Harlem. The ambiance is cozy and warm with ambient lighting and great drink specials at the bar. The house Rosé is delicious and a nice pairing for the season. We went for Valentine’s Day and there is not any strangers here just folks you never said hello to. Wonderful date night atmosphere and nice size portions with a French flair!

Don’t walk, run here and stay a while.“

“What a wonderful spot for dinner! We absolutely enjoyed every aspect of La Marchande. The food was very good, the desserts were especially noteworthy. Our meal was excellent. Steak, Lamb, Hake, Salmon and Broccoli entrees were all exceptional. But service was the real star of this restaurant. Ethan, our 6 star server, went above and beyond in every aspect of our meal. Can't wait to enjoy another fabulous meal here in the near future.“

“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!!!“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I have been going to Quatorze since the early 1990’s when Mark and Peter were on 79th St. I was thrilled when the restaurant recently moved to my corner at 82nd and 1st Ave. and have always enjoyed dining there. NEVER AGAIN. I just had the most awful in-person experience with a manager, Nino who was rude, dismissive and argumentative. And all I wanted to do was make a reservation. Nino is the complete antithesis of the way the staff at Quatorze treat customers. If this is the person who is now the face of this beloved neighborhood gem, then sadly I will not be back. And that’s a shame. I left a message asking to speak to the owner, Mark, but I guess having to speak to an actual loyal customer who is unhappy is beneath him. UPDATE: I received a call from the owner Mark, who questioned the veracity of my account. Do yourself a favor and steer clear - these are rude, arrogant people who think we’re all just dumb. And the food and service is average at best.“

“Great quality dining and shopping. Whether dining at one of the great restaurants or shopping to cook at home, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Really authentic French bistro experience. Excellent food and not a huge menu. Small tables and small portions but everything tasted great. We did not enjoy the service staff. Hostess was delightful and pleasant but the server was not. She was unhelpful when asked for recommendations and basically just repeated the menu which we could read. When we tried to order an additional dish, she said “they don’t do add-ons” which was not explained to us at any point prior. She brought down the mood of what would have otherwise been a good experience.“

“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)“

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

“Beautiful room. Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Chef came out and spoke with us. Very pleasant
If you go for a burger you need to sit at the very attractive bar
Deviled Egg was very nice. The pate was incredible fresh and delicious Had the salmon melted in your mouth
Music at a nice level and a fun selections.
Go back yes for sure“

“Unforgettable!!! I highly recommend your 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.“

“Love this place, good food and nice atmosphere. Always busy sometimes big line but it will be worth“

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

“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.“

“Our evening at Eleven Madison Park was easily the best dining experience I've ever had, and probably the best I ever will. I knew when I booked the reservation that we were going to have a great meal. What I wasn't expecting was how incredible and thoughtful the staff would be. The service was so good it literally brought me to tears.

We were visiting New York and in our hubris we thought it'd be a great idea to take an 8 year old who hates vegetables to a fully plant based fine dining restaurant. They went out of their way to ensure our kid had some unique food that they would like, even going so far as to whip up a custom dish.

At the end of the night we were given a tour of the kitchen and there was a chef's hat for our kid. AND THEY MADE A TINY ONE FOR THEIR TOY TARANTULA!

It's unlikely I'll be back to New York, so I likely will never have another chance to dine here. But I'll definitely remember my visit for a long time“

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

“Delightful and cozy. Not only is the ambiance very nice but the food os a total delight 😋“

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

“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.“

“I came for lunch alone and got a spot at the bar, which was exactly what I wanted. The place was busy in a good way, filled with great vibes. I ordered a Salad Niçoise, and the dish was both beautiful and delicious. It’s a lovely restaurant in NoHo.“

“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.“

“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“

“Bridges is one of my favourite restaurants in NYC right now!
It's a perfect spot for a date night with a great cocktail or wine and top notch dishes which are inventive, dynamic and comforting.
The menu evolves regularly with some key features - the oysters, sardines, dumpling, uni custard and the comte tart.
You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Flavours are decadent and have some fun fusion mixes which are inventive and exciting. Sam and the team have outdone themselves!
The space inside is cool, quiet and relaxed.“
