   As usual, everything was great. Sunday brunch is very popular in NYC and L'Express is always at the top of the list. So it was busy, crowded, but service and food were still excellent.

   Dinner with friends that did not disappoint! The braised short rib bourguignon is one of the best I’ve eaten !

   Had a lovely Holiday lunch with a friend who I worked with for many years, both retired now and living in different boroughs. The food was excellent and the waitress could not have been any nicer, always checking to see if we were happy and if we needed anything. Great place to get together with family or friends especially in the Holiday Season with Union Square Market so close by! Can’t wait to come back!

   It was breakfast meal and the food was good enough for breakfast. They open 24 hours and ambiance is excellent. Waiters were good enough too. They did not have almond milk and, in these days they need to have alternatives other than regular cow milk. This is very cosy place and ppl love the ambiance in general here.

   Food and service were excellent. Noise level was very high since people seem to believe that they need to yell at each other and laugh VERY LOUDLY to show they're having a good time. I'm starting to wonder if younger people are hard of hearing!!

   L'Express is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants these days. It has a nice French bistro vibe, and the service is attentive but not intrusive. It is classic French food, which I love. It can get busy and noisy on a Saturday night, but go early and miss the crowd. Highly recommend.

   The food was tasty and well prepared. It was very noisy- It was hard to have a conversation. A man at the next table knocked his chair over onto me. My big issue was that after and hour and 15 minutes, we were asked to leave for another party to have our table for two.

   Have been here several times over past 20 years. Food, ambience & service excellent! Only problem this time was the noise level. No acoustics & couldn't have a pleasant conversation. Unfortunate because it's a great place.

    Mostly empty restaurant and service was atrocious. Food was inedible (overdressed salad). This place used to be decent. Will not be returning.
