Had an incredible experience celebrating my partners birthday. The staff were so polite and the food was incredible. Can't wait to go back

Service was wonderful. Some hits and misses on the menu but overall don't hesitate to go, just know it can get $$$$. We took a longer dinner route but you could do an app and split a main too and get out for less. Great spot. Great buzz in there
Nikki
Food was delicious especially the burnt toast with the patè Our wine was nice also but we did feel a little rushed, it's nyc and they like to turn their tables but it was a birthday dinner and so I would go back for lunch or a quieter time

Probably the best Bistro in lower Manhattan. We love this place. Had a cozy table in the bar as the dining room was booked and I think we actually preferred it. Excellent food, bread, pastries and service on point.

Gracious, informed wait staff as well as somm a delicious food. A location that has housed important restaurants for me so happy to be back. Thank you!

I don't write reviews often - but this had to be one of the worst experiences I've had in the city. The steak was the roughest cut of meat, their knives couldn't cut through it. Despite the steak sitting on the table uneaten no questions were asked. Drinks came out and seemed to have ingredients not listed in the cocktail menu. Definitely a poor experience all around.

Delicious food, amazing service and great ambiance -- there's a reason this place is a go-to!

This was our second visit, so I feel confident in saying if you like French cuisine, a dinner at Frenchette is a must. The food is exceptional! My skate wing (raie) with brown butter, which I've had many times in Paris, was the best preparation and presentation ever. The fish was perfectly fresh, even on a Sunday night, and the brown butter was a delicate but somehow more flavorful version of the usual. My husband and our two friends all had the blanquette de veau. They also rated it “better than Paris”. While everything is beautifully presented, the show stopper at our table was the leeks vinaigrette: see my photo. The servers are all professional and attentive. The sommelier was very helpful with the wine list, which is skewed towards natural wines. On the subject of drinks, we all thought the cocktail list was more creative than appealing to us. Since we're more into wine than cocktails, that was not a problem.

This experience was a disappoint - while the food is good, the preparation/quality in no way reflects the outrageous pricing. The only exception to this is the excellent dessert. Server was great but in general, would much rather spend my money at Le Rock or another restaurant.

Wonderful wine and Som. Food was excellent though small for the price. Charging for bread given the entrees was a bit cheeky. But everything is immaculate and one simply must have the hot chocolate at the end. GOD TIER.
Lovely service, great cocktails, and the food is beyond amazing. Every dish is so rich and thoughtfully prepared. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations from the staff, but regardless of what you choose you can't go wrong. The roast chicken is to die for.

Food was good but certainly overpriced and over rated. This was for lunch so may be more of a tourist trap. Service was kind and efficient but impersonal. Food was well seasoned. Pancake took about 30-40 min and was drenched I syrup. Quiche the consistency of overcooked pudding. Americano was good.

Terrible wine selection, no knowledge of Kir... a french staple. But this is a bit of a fake french restaurant. Food so-so...Would never recommend ever... Plus they let animals sit at the tables. And it was NOT a service dog. It was in a ridiculous baby carriage!

Drinks are great here. So is the dinner. I got a halibut that was to die for. Very engaging service and wait staff. On the more expensive side given it’s Tribeca but it is worth it. You won’t be disappointed!

Our waiter was really rude. He seemed so bothered if we had any questions about the dishes.
