It was an amazing experience. We had the best seats in the house, got to watch the show and enjoy a delicious dinner.

after reading so much praise for this spot, I had high expectations. the food was only aight. well executed, but nothing exceptional, especially for the price
steak was really good but it was $50 lol. I could get much more for similar quality at keens. duck was a bit too game-y, escargot just didn't have enough complexity in the flavor? small menu
our server was nice enough to seat me w/o my full party present bc the restaurant had extra space and offered me wines to sample.
intimate, open kitchen

NOT worth the hype; the octopus was way too salty; there were only 2 options for red wine by the glass; and the steak we ordered medium rare came as medium with cold, soggy onions which, upon complaining, were brought back poorly re-heated with the same (now medium well, and charred) steak. No effort was made to improve the horrific dish we were served, perhaps due to us being in young, female, unthreatening company. Absolutely doesn't live up to the name, and puts to shame the hype it has been given. Go somewhere else, thats it

As a great wizard once said: « Fly, you fools! » - we ended up being literally insulted by the owner, who is a very rude character.

Finally got to check this off my list and was blown away! The dishes were Devine and it was such a cozy cool vibe

Wildly disappointing. Such a cute and cool place to eat. Service was distracted and harried. Server forgot one of our apps and one of our entrees for a party of 4 (maybe think about writing it down?). Food was well cooked but super salty. Menu is quite limited, understandably, given the size of the restaurant. Consider Googling the menu beforehand if you go, just to make sure you like what they are serving. That said, would love to but cannot recommend this restaurant, sadly. Expensive and totally not worth it. Eaters beware.

Went here for my birthday with my wife and it was delicious. They change up the menu fairly frequently, but we ordered the hanger steak and seared scallops. Whatever sauce comes with the scallops, I’d like to bathe in it. I told the waiter and he gave us some extra bread to soak it up, which was really nice. They don’t take reservations (and it’s small) so get there early.

Great food served in a quirky place. Only four tables and ten seats at the counter. Definitely a place worth to try. Exceptional hanger steak and salad. Quality and nice atmosphere, hard to find in NYC sometimes.
Awesome service and meal. Octopus was so simple - as close to perfect as I’ve had in a long time. I could eat the ouef mayo everyday. The escargot was well prepared but more salty than I have usually experienced. I’m still thinking about the chilled Grenache by the glass - sipping that alone at the bar on a rainy Sunday evening almost made it feel like I was in a Parisian hole in the wall. Go for the vibes. Go alone - it’s verrrry small.
Our first visit to LFD and it was excellent. There was one two top available when we showed up at 7:15 PM on Thursday night. People continued to stream in and were told that they would have at least one hour wait time.
The escargot, salad and steak with au gratin potatoes were all delicious. We also had the sour cherry panna cotta for dessert. Possibly the best I’ve ever had.

This place is absolutely amazeballs. Fantastic food and extremely cool atmosphere (albeit tight and slightly uncomfortable). Go early. Put your name on the list. And grab a drink at a nearby bar while you wait. It’s sooooo worth it.
