The French onion burger and fries were so good. I ate the entire thing. No shame. Idk what superb service folks are waxing poetic about. Pierre’s punch is yummy. Would come back if ever in the area again.

Walked by and stopped in without knowing anything about the restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I ordered the little gem salad and tuna tartare, both from the appetizer section, as I wasn’t incredibly hungry. The salad was light but flavorful and a good portion size. The tuna tartare was well seasoned but maintained a fresh tuna taste. The chips on the side made for the perfect bite.
At around 8pm it started to get quite dark inside due to minimal lighting but made for a more romantic atmosphere if you’re looking to bring a date here.

I wanted French for a special occasion, and Little Prince looked adorable from the outside. We arrived early in the evening with a reservation and there was no wait / the hostess and our server were very nice and helpful.
As a community hang I can see this place being nice to have, but it’s also a bit run-down and… sparse maybe? The booth was saggy and ripped apart by wear. When our apps came out - marinated artichoke and burrata - they were unappetizing in terms of presentation and taste. It was so bad, we ended up canceling our entrees to go in search of another kitchen.
The staff were very understanding! Perhaps if they can update their kitchen to something more appealing and better prepared this place can really sing.

Went for brunch on Sunday at 1:30 PM. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for catching up with friends. While the service was a bit on the slower side, it was still a really enjoyable experience overall. I’ll definitely be back!

Luis, Isa, and Jay are amazing. Best customer service and so happy that we found this place. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a must. Again, Luis, Isa, and Jay are the best if I didn’t say that already…

The food was good but man I have never been made to feel like I was not wanted someplace more than eating here. We had a reservation for the bar and we were treated like we were in the way/a burden from the moment we walked in. Mind you the bar was not full at any point for the entirety of our time there. I get that it’s soho but the attitude is really unnecessary.

Super fun bistro that turns into a very exciting little dance club. The drinks and food are yummy - Jay at the bar is especially awesome!
I had a great recent experience at Little Prince. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Our server was kind and the food was so tasty. The Ravioli in an orange brown butter is a must try!

Food was amazing. But service was not. They asked for the table back after an hour and charging 20% tip. Brought the check while we were still eating. Terrible service. Would not recommend

Me and my friend celebrated our birthday here with friends for their dinner party and it was amazing. The food was great and the vibes were even better. Steak frites and French onion burger 10/10! Had the best time and the staff was very warm and welcoming. They curated the perfect party vibe. Definitely recommend celebrating a birthday here.

Very disappointing experience. I think this place is just too focused on the after hours vibe to be able to focus on excellent service and food. My friend booked 2 large party reservations and the staff wouldn’t accommodate the request for us to be near each other. The place is mini and has like 10 tables and we were sat on complete opposite sides of the dining room. As far apart as they could get us. They do everything in seatings so the place empties out and resets at once. The whole place was empty except 1 table so I requested that we move near our friends. The staff immediately just denied my request. It felt really silly because we were in an empty place sitting so far apart for no apparent reason. An explanation would have been nice. The coursed meal for LPR’s is over $100 per person and the “3rd course” or dessert was a defrosted cookie. Definitely not worth the price in any way. Drinks were served in plastic cups. Bathroom lines were out of control. No coat check so our coats were on the ground while everyone was flopping around and bumping into each other. All in all a disappointing experience and I had to grab pizza on the way home.

I picked Little Prince to celebrate my birthday, I have been there before. My reservation was for 8:15, I got seated at 8:15 the last friend arrived at 8:21. The service was slow, but I cared little since we were not rushing, although we had to get the attention of the waiters otherwise they won't come. We were fast to order and we knew what we wanted for drinks & dinner. Dinner was served at 9:20 ish, an hour after we arrived, again I didn't care much since we were celebrating and I wanted to be sympathetic to the waiters working. Things got off when they were not bringing the dessert menu and neither taking the order for another round of drinks. I turn and for the first time I make a signal to the waiter, when he came was to tell me that in 5 minutes they would need the table for the next group since they were waiting. Without even offering the dessert menu and after being denied the next round, I went to speak to the manager who was automatically in a defensive mode, but that's not me I don't follow those behaviors specially on a birthday celebration. She told me she felt sorry but this is how it works and she was sorry If I don't understand the pace of the restaurant but she would need the table "I don't want you to think this is personal you act like if I would like to say Fck you" she said (which I never thought becase there's no reason for that). After I told her we are ready to leave since my dinner night was incomplete and ruined because I was basically kicked out I ask her just to send the check asap. We were seating for minutes waiting for the check, no food, no drinks and all annoyed, the vibe was totally off and I was already stressed out, but they weren't coming. My friend had to go to them to pay the bill and she said, "You don't have to leave now have another round if you want" (because some tables were already emptying) but we absolutely had to go, after we were told to leave in that way. Meanwhile there was a group of 6 girls for a longer time than us, who was not asked to leave.
8:15 Seated.
9:20 main course served (one hour after arrival not my fault)
9:45 Asked to leave the table in 5 minutes.
I would have been happily gone at that time if they were well managed and the dinner was completed. But why would I be asked to leave without even finished because of the poor managing of their time to take orders and bring the courses. Again, we were ordering, kick somebody out when is a bad business, we weren't.
Long story short I left with no dessert, stressed, annoyed and didn't get to have my happy birthday candle lol. No hard feelings to the manager but girl... learn how to manage.
I never leave reviews but this time it was needed.
