Good ingredients prepared well but not michelin star level creativity and cooking. Very noisy and way too many staff walking around creating a nervous atmosphere. Price-Quality not in sync. Dessert was great though and best dishes of the evening. Would not visit again.

Everything was fine, but in my opinion there was not enough light live music. For example, playing the piano.

The perfect place to impress your date or guests. The service is elite fine dining. The chefs are just incredible with the preparation of the dishes, menu selection, and design of presentation. my guests had cocktails which were an appropriate size for a classy delicious midday sip.

The food was mediocre (even terrible) and the place was extremely overtly racist, which had nothing to do with dress or the English language (we all dressed up to celebrate my wife's birthday). The white woman with short blond hair who welcomed us yesterday had completely different attitudes toward Asians and white people. This was the first time I saw her in a restaurant where she didn't even help hang up her coat. The most exaggerated thing was that she deliberately knocked over our birthday cake in front of us. It’s hard to imagine anyone working in the service industry doing something like this. Even if the food is terrible, I never write a Google review, but this time I really couldn't help but avoid it. As a one-Michelin-starred restaurant, it is inferior to any ordinary restaurant in every aspect. Don't come here if you don't want to spend money to make yourself angry. Hope this helps Chinese/Asians who see this review avoid this restaurant.

My fiancée (John Ford) and I are serious diners, having been to all three star Michelin restaurants in NYC and Paris. We love Le CouCou and always either have dinner or lunch when we visit NYC from Boston. It has always been a wonderful dining experience and feel they deserve three Michelin stars instead of one. However, we would love to see them bring back the young chicken dish with the sherry vinegar and potatoe puree which they used to serve for lunch. We think it is one of the best dishes in Manhattan. We are looking forward to seeing the dish back on whenever the chef decides.

Came here the day after my birthday as a continuation of the weekend, and wow. Everyone was attentive and made me feel so special. The food was absolutely unreal, the yellowfin tuna and scallops will be in my dreams haha. Cannot go wrong with the duck, it was done so so well. Absolutely wonderful lunch❤️
One of the best restaurants in the city, the quality of the food is incredible, everything is so good, nothing can be compared, the restaurant is super elegant, impeccable, very good service. Quality price 100%, super recommended!!

Quasar
A romantic, splendid, tranquil oasis in the middle of a barren block on Lafayette St. The staff could not have been more attentive or helpful (which is never the case with solo diners). I felt all of them were a team working in unison and anticipated all my needs. Even my cider bottle was poured when my glass needed a refill. The tuna and scallop appetizer was enhanced by the mild chili oil, thinly sliced white onions and a sprinkle of parsley. The Vol-a-vent, combining lobster and sweetbreads, two of my favorite things, meticulously prepared was exquisite. And to top it all the Marjolaine dessert (chocolate and hazelnut ) was a dream come true. A grand lunch in a grand soaring space with a reassuring old world grandeur.

It was our first time dining there and our waiter gladly assisted us with dishes and our whole meal to portioned meal for our party of 3. Staff were helpful and friendly and created a welcoming space, especially for our first experience.
We had 3 cold apps, 2 warm apps, and 3 entrees split between 3.
They didn’t have pisco which was surprising and they’re not allowed to spice your beverage. Not a ding, just surprising.
Overall, the experience was amazing and I’d absolutely dine again. Their reservation process, prices, food quality, and ambiance did not disappoint and felt much more accessible than other fancy-vibe restaurants. Thank you Le Coucou!

Loved everything about lunch here. Two courses for $69. They were large plates and delicious. Service was great! Hostess was unpleasant.
Super romantic restaurant near Chinatown. The atmosphere is so pretty and romantic, good for wearing white or black dress to go there cuz it match with background a lot. The food is good too! Will go there in future too??
