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.

We had a great date night dinner here. Steak dish was definitely worth returning for. Ambiance is perfectly intimate.

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.
One of the best meals I've ever had. This place is a gem.

Very rude staff, mid food. Looking at the other recent reviews, seems like the unprofessional staff may cost this business.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME. Straight up disrespectful staff, low quality food (escargot was so small I couldn’t even find it, it tasted muddy even the garlicky sauce couldn’t mask it), and disgusting bathroom.

Waited two and a half hours, never got a call. Went back and was treated like garbage and humiliated in front of the entire restaurant. Rudest staff in all of NYC. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. DO NOT COME HERE!!!

Was literally the worst service I’ve had in the city. We went to grab drinks well after dinner time and they yelled at us for not ordering enough, when we ordered a whole bottle of wine and food. They came up to us to say “Can you please never come back?” I regret tipping at all. You need not worry, we will never be back. Reading other reviews, I am also quite certain they were racist and thought it was okay to be rude to us out of all customers because we were Asian.
The food was average at best. The bathroom is also RIGHT next to the kitchen, which makes me worry that the food is not sanitary. I am giving one star because I have to when I want to give zero.
