Still waiting for this restaurant to refund a $400 ‘no show’ fee that was accidentally charged. I did in fact show up to the reservation. They said it would be refunded and it’s been 2 months. Several times I’ve talked to them about this and they say they will look into it.

Honestly I never leave reviews but this place is not worth the money at all. There are plenty of restaurants in nyc that have better food, service, and atmosphere for the same price if not cheaper. The food was objectively not that good starting with the pâté which tasted like canned meat with a weird terrine. The toro and salad were nothing special at all. The expensive steak was tough and hard to cut. Finally, they only allowed burgers at the bar and while I get having rules there was no reason for them not to allow us to eat the burgers at the table after we ordered all the food. Instead, we had to move from our table and sit at the bar in order to eat the burger. Other reviews confirm this place needs serious improvement. If you want to have a good French meal worth the money go to Le Bernardin.

Good atmosphere for a cocktail bar but too expensive, trying too hard and with mistakes that definitely don’t make it worth the price as a restaurant although the food was nice.
This restaurant has a very good atmosphere but the service and attention to detail leave a lot to be desired especially at that price point. For example: 1. When you are paying $30 for an onion dip and chips you expect there to be enough chips to service the dip, when it’s obviously not and the waitstaff offer you more you’d expect those chips to be complimentary 2. When you’re paying over $130 dollars for a bottle of red wine you expect it to come room temperature not cold ( if there was an issue with their wine fridge I don’t know) but as people who know wine it was definitely too cold 3. When you run out of wine when it’s time for the main course and no one notices, so you flag a waiter down to order the same bottle again - but they say they can’t order it for you have to get the sommelier and that takes so long that we had finished our mains before the wine arrived (not great) 4. When you order lamb chops, yes they have to rest but they should NEVER be cold, when you send back something that’s cold that costs >$80 for just the lamb chops no side or anything, they should prepare you a new plate not just reheat it - otherwise what is the point in all the resting in the first place. 5. Plates should be warm, even the duck that was delicious and not sent back because it was cold was on the verge as the plate was cold and it at best was luke warm 6. They were rude when we only ordered mains and a starter to share, expressing that people usually go for at least three courses, if you can’t break even doing less then have it as a set menu with choices don’t get pissy when we choose to not confine to no prescribed rules 7. Don’t try and have organised service if you can’t do it, if you’re attempting to put all our food on the table at the same time - great if you can do it. If the table’s in a hard to reach location so it’s clunky awkward and will never work just don’t- it makes everyone awkward as you are obviously failing at the desired outcome
Our advice, don’t try as hard - fire a few waitstaff there were so many doing not much, use those savings to take $20 off everything, add some carbs to the plate (not hard) - make sure things are warm and then it would be a great place.

Le B = Le F. I Wish I had read the reviews before going, Upon entering we were quickly told we could not go to the table without our friends (which I understand but it was how it told to us - with an abrupt and loud "no" when we asked.) At the bar, the friendly greeting was "what do you want" which I'd expect at a neighborhood bar and not at a place where the wine costs between $30-60 per glass. When we were finally seated at the table with our friends, it took 40 minutes for them to get their drinks. By this time, we were starving and ready to order. We were planning on ordering several appetizers and mains including the extra caviar and had a simple question of if we could order the burger as a shared appetizer. The manager came out and told us "burgers are not allowed on our white tablecloth." There's a way to communicate the answer no and this direct quote and her tone which implied we would be sullying their tablecloth quickly made us pay the bill for what we had ordered and leave. We had a fabulous dinner at nearby Arthur and Sons with the friendliest waiter and a wonderful atmosphere. Le B is truly awful and pretentious as many reviews have noted. If I could rank 0 stars I would. Avoid at all costs!

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

One of the greatest place I ever visited came here with a lot of expectations and for sure one of the best fine dining restaurant Staff it’s really great they are really well trained I had the best burger in my life at the bar and the bartender Domingo and Ernesto made me feel like home also the sommelier recommend a really tasty barolo for my meal what a beautiful experience I had cheers to this great place and team!
Never met a more rude maître d in my life. Too pretentious to be with the money!

Great food but terrible service from the short man in the suit, at the front. Some people really bring their mental health issues to work since clearly he projects to customers and creates an unwelcoming experience for some guests. The reviews here really hit the note on the head, “wannabe high end experience” with little to show.

This is a very difficult review for me, because the food at Le B is amazing. BUT, check out my photos. I ordered a martini and for $30 the glass should have been full. The deviled egg was, in my opinion, unfortunately uninspiring. The glass of wine that I ordered was a 2018 Nenin Pomerol, which is a delicious wine, but I was poured just over a sip both times (see photos). That glass cost almost $60, and I indulged in two glasses. The squab appetizer and the smoked duck entree were both delicious. Spending over $150 on a drink and two glasses of wine should have been a better experience, and it detracted from an otherwise lovely evening.

one of the best things I tried in Miami. It is necessary to wear formal dress, I wore shorts and they let me pass as a macanudo, the rest was excellent!!
