    They now state 90 minute per table. Something new, I’ve been going here for years and never felt the pressure. After 2 cocktails and a bottle of wine I still felt we had to leave!!! Not thrilled with this new dictum! Will think twice on returning!

    Just as good as when it opened in 2006. Food was amazing, service was top notch and overall experience delightful. Warm greeting on arrival and departure. There’s a reason it’s been around 17 years…

    This is a lovely restaurant, with very good food and service. When all or most of the tables are occupied, it is fairly noisy, as the tables are quite close together. Still, a very nice experience.

    I have eaten at Cafe Cluny for years since I live around the corner , and I think last night was the last time , I had friends come down from the UES and I wanted them to experience west village hospitality. I have friendlier service in Paris quite frankly. I have no idea who Cafe Cluny thinks they are but I’m over the bad slow service , no substitutions , over-priced food. Should have gone to Bus Stop Cafe and will next Time
