   This was where we chose for my best friend's bachelorette dinner, and she loved it. The ambiance is energetic, and the Christmas decorations make it festive and beautiful. I usually get the Filet Au Poivre, but this time I got the beef bourguignon, and it did not disappoint. The beef fell apart and the vegetables were tender and not overcooked. I also got a Caesar salad as an appetizer. That was fresh and the dressing was homemade. If you love anchovies like I do, this is an excellent salad! For a drink I chose the La Toissaint, and that was spectacular. I highly recommend this place if you love great food, great drinks and a festive atmosphere!

   This was probably my best birthday celebration with absolutely wonderful food, steaks and very cordial server Boyan! I even got fantastic book as a gift for my birthday from legendary Boucherie! Thanks for amazing experience and memory.

   It was freezing in the entire restaurant because the doors remained open despite it being about 40 degrees outside.

   While good overall, uneven experience. Undecided on entrees, we tried to place an order for appetizers to start but told we had to order everything at the same time - weird. Before serving appetizers, asked if done with bread and took away - odd. And when sharing dessert, gave us 3 spoons but no small plates for sharing. While not major faux pas, i did, however, got annoyed when I got the check, looked up, and saw the waitress standing over me waiting for me to pay. Standing over a customer is simply rude. Do they expect me and my party to make a run for it? It's the little and subtle things that can make the experience. Sadly, their wait staff didn't deliver. Food was mixed. While appetizers (escargot and octopus) were excellent, can't say same for entrees (steak, coq au vin and chicken paillard) which were good but unexceptional. Based on ratings, was expecting better. The place, however, is eye candy and the ambiance charming. If on date or looking for trendy place, will be impressed. Doubt my opinion matters to mgmt (place was full) but if love amazing french food over ambiance, better options such as L'Osteria on upper east side. And, while not as fancy and smaller menu, Le Parisien Bistrot in Murray Hill also delivers. In the area, enjoyed Bistro les Amis' food but less trendy option and dated decor. Wish could recommend boucherie in west village, was hoping for amazing but found uneven. Depends on what's important to you.

    From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere at this French bistro oozes sophistication and charm. The escargot were perfectly cooked, and the coq au vin was rich and flavorful—an absolute standout. The service was attentive, and the wine list complemented the meal beautifully. A true taste of France in the heart of the city.
