Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Le Rivage offers an enchanting French dining experience in NYC's theater district. Renowned for its "excellent food, great service," and "charming atmosphere," it remains a favorite for pre-theater meals. Guests rave about the "French Onion Soup Burger" and attentive staff. A "hidden gem" that consistently delights with its classic cuisine.

    Second time at Le Rivage before a Broadway matinee. Food was delicious and service attentive both visits. We didn’t have enough time to eat dessert before our show this time, so they invited us to come back and have it after the show (part of the prix fixe menu). We took them up on the offer and were welcomed warmly when we returned. I’ll be back again for sure.

    We had an amazing experience for our 27th wedding anniversary. The staff was amazing, and they all greeted us by wishing us a happy anniversary. Our waiter Jeremie was extremely professional and personable, and he recommended my desert, and it was awesome. 5 stars to Jeremie and Le Rivage. Stephen

    Fabulous experience for pre theatre, lunch, and extremely efficient staff. Courteous to a fault and overall, a wonderful experience. One of New York's dining gems. The menu for lunch was pre fix and the wine list limited, but of excellent quality for reasonable prices.

    Have been here many times, first time slightly disappointed. Started out with French onion soup. Not sure what happened with bread, was hard as a rock, couldn’t eat it. Was offered second batch but declined as already had finished half of it. I had beef dish, very good, husband had burger which he didn’t think lived up to hype. Being a little harsh with this review because used to near perfection and this time was not.
    Le RivageResponded 3 days ago
    So after always serving up perfection as soon as there’s a glitch let’s pounce and give a bad review. Sounds like we even tried to remedy the situation. As for burger I’m sure there could of been a solution as well. In your own words you’re purposely being harder on us, how is that normal? If you believe we are a 3 star restaurant let this be your last visit. The majority of our reviews speak differently.

    There’s something truly special about finding a restaurant for pre-theater dining where the food is excellent, the service attentive, there’s no fear of arriving late to the play, and yet all so very relaxing and perfect. Lovely warm atmosphere, the pleasant hum of equally happy diners surrounding but not interfering with, one’s own personal conversation. As others have said, a real gem in the theater district, and one I’ll return to even without theater tickets!

    Thanks so much do taking care of us this evening. We realized folks were in the weeds, you were slightly overbooked, when we were finally seated the entire staff ran us like clockwork to catch our show. Food was excellent: escargot, mussels, endive salad… all excellent. And so far our favorite restaurant in the theater district!
