My family had a very pleasant meal here on a Saturday night, when the restaurant was very full and lively. And yet our server was super prompt and attentive, got all of our complicated order perfect, the food was delicious, and everyone was very happy. I hadn't been here in a while, and am really glad we chose L'Express, which has been around for a long time. We love this cozy neighborhood restaurant and hope it stays around forever!

Blow away by this place, food was amazing, looking for something unique, the frogs leg and cassoulet was unexpectedly fabulous (who else has frog legs like Paris)as well as the latte, I am a coffee snob, but this latte was way above what I expected and I have high expectations- highly recommend, btw it’s Kolbrick coffee NYC brew

Loved this place! The food was fresh and full of flavor. The service was excellent, definitely recommend and I will be coming back. Great recommendation from my server Carmen for the Stake Tartare.
