Great atmosphere, mediocre food. Tarte tatin was however extraordinary. Worth it for a desert and glass of wine.

Overall, this is a decent place to dine, and I’d rate the food a 7 out of 10. Shoutout to the girl in the tank top who kindly moved us to a table under the heater—much appreciated!
However, one thing really bothered me. When it was time to pay, another staff member “helped” me select a tip amount. I understand the frustration of dealing with customers who don’t tip well, as I work in the service industry myself. But that kind of microaggressive behavior made me very uncomfortable. Not all Asians are the same, just like not all white people are nice.

You’ll feel so cool going there but service is terrible and you’ll be cramped in a tiny table. Although we placed a reservation for drinks in advance, they forced us to order food in order to sit on a table (even though I was there at the same time a month before and this wasn’t a rule. Also, this could have been mentioned on the phone). Food was overpriced and service was very rude. After ordering another round of drinks they told us we had to hurry cause they needed the table (then maybe don’t let me order another drink?).

I would not recomend this place. Its overpriced and the staff was the rudest people I have met in New York (which says a lot) they greeted us with no respect. My friend ordered a chèvre salad, and it was only two tiny bites of chèvre on it. I normally dont bother to write bad reviews, but this one took the Cake.

They don't even deserve 1 star. I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. The food was mediocre at best—bland, uninspired, and definitely not worth the price. What made the experience even worse was the service.
The host was dismissive and acted like seating us was a chore. The waitress wasn’t any better—she seemed uninterested, took forever to take our order, and never checked back to see if we needed anything.
Overall, the combination of mediocre food and terrible service made this a place I wouldn’t recommend. There are plenty of better options out there!
Firstly, we had a table booking for 3 and showed up right on time, just for the waitress to show us to the standing bar and as she said “order some starter drinks and your table will be ready very soon” which was fine but we ended up at the bar, jostled around for the next 15mins, while the waitresses had bad (close to zero) communication/ coordination that they actually gave our table away and made us wait even longer.
What followed next was just more waiting, more “im so sorry your table will be ready soon” when we asked about our table and honestly, this place feels like a huge scam to get us to order drinks without getting seated which actually defeats the whole purpose of making a booking.
Like make it make sense??!!!??!!!!
Not sure how this place is still in business when they treat customers like dimwits.
VERY outrageous and atrocious behaviour, only come here when you love to be mistreated and disrespected at every turn.
Also pretty unhinged for the waitress to chase us down a block after we left before getting seated. Are they expecting me to tolerate and pay for the disrespect and incompetent management? So bold but no thank you. Never again
Literally just go to mcdonalds, at least you will be treated like a human being.

If I could, I would give this place zero stars!! Rude servers (Christina and Beatrice). Who argued with me about the overcooked octopus. Christina served me my dish and then took an hour lunch break. Without telling me or assigning the table to someone else. I sat there for 45 minutes and watched everyone around me get great service. Not one waiter asked me if I needed anything. This is the worst restaurant I’ve been to in New York. Save yourself and go to many of the other great French restaurants. I added a pic of the crispy small octopus. They try to camouflage it with potatoes.

Do NOT come here for any nice occasions. Booked a resy weeks in advance for a birthday dinner, was looking forward to a nice romantic ambiance for 2 people. Upon arriving we were sat at a tiny 4 person table that they planned on seating 2 parties at?? Not only was it 2 parties but they wanted to squeeze 5 people at this tiny table. And the table was right at the door. I get this is NYC and space is limited, but not even having a table divider or 4 inches of space between parties if they’re seated at the same table is pretty low. Take your money somewhere else, there are plenty of other places that have great food and ambiance, that give you the respect of giving you a little space.
