    Service and setting were wonderful. Moules frites were great but the burger lacked flavor and the bottom bun was completely soggy.

    Food is always great. What’s not great is the difficulty management seems to have with customer service. Requesting a table away from the kitchen in an almost empty restaurant was treated like a major inconvenience. We were told to “wait back at the hostess stand” until they could see if they could accommodate us, even though we had a reservation. I saw two other diners go through the same ordeal. The time before this, the chef actually refused a simple request to remove salmon skin from my order before cooking. These are not overly demanding requests, and should be easy to accommodate. This has always been a great neighborhood restaurant, but their policies are infringing on decent customer service.

    Cafe Luxembourg has an upbeat, yet intimate aura all its own. The service was impeccable, and all the staff worked in perfect concert to delight their clientele. The Crème Brûlée was outstanding! It was the best I’ve ever had.

    Having been to Cafe Luxembourg several years ago, I was looking forward to a great dinner before a show. The restaurant seemed to be the same, still a pretty brasserie style interior and a friendly staff. The service was outstanding, prompt, attentive and friendly. Unfortunately the food in my option was only mediocre on this visit. We were both disappointed with our entrees, a roast chicken and a steak frites. We are unsure if we will visit again on our next trip to NYC.

    The food and service, as always, were excellent. The (hot) Winter Toddy was delicious and most welcome after braving the arctic conditions outside. My only nit to pick is that because the space is cramped and tables are so close to each other the noise level of competing conversations, clanging cutlery, dropped trays, etc., becomes challenging. Perfect cover for “dark,” secretive conversations; for the rest of us, not so much. I very much miss the outdoor dining space and fervently hope you’ll bring it back in the Spring. Otherwise, one of my favorite places for lunch and dinner.
