Denis VMarch 15, 2013The food here is amazing. Try the chefs specialty, the charcuterie plate. Unreal! Rabbit, duck, wild boar. All homemade. The chef came to our table and explained all the dishes. Great experience.
Gilt CityFebruary 14, 2011Dim, decorative and über-chic, this Theater District hotspot offers a cosmopolitan take on the classic European bistro. It’s the perfect place to settle down for a pre- or post-show meal.
GourmetLiveJanuary 28, 2011Owner and Chef, Todd English’s favorite dish on the menu is the salad with Duck confit, haricot verts and seared foie gras in a vinaigrette. Ca Va was inspired by his favorite place in Paris.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 17, 2010Try a reassuring French classics like organic chicken paillard for $24, steak frites for $28 or braised short rib, a succulent bargain as part of the three-course fixed-priced lunch for $26. Read more
Kylie JayOctober 11, 2014Service in the restaurant is outstanding but a little average in the lounge. Do the boozy brunch - $41 for an entree + 2 hours of cocktails. The Mac n cheese is epic.
Steven FriedenthalFebruary 11, 2012The burger is made with a variety of cuts. Eat rare for a most pleasing experience. Amazing texture and taste. Not a typical burger.
French onion soup and Mac n cheese to die for. Paul will take care of you!- Steven FriedenthalFebruary 21, 2012Sad Ça Va has shut its cafe and light fare to go. IC TS needs lobby space. If fans ask main Ça Va for to go, maybe it and IC will offer it.
Chris RotellaAugust 12, 2011They give a full baguette of fresh baked warm bread for the table. Also best soft-shell crab I've ever had!
2Plus2NYCReviewFebruary 7, 2011Grab a drink by the fire place before dinner and get ready for a great time! Check out our review!! Read more
JD MaloneDecember 2, 2014The price vs authenticity is rather bad. The food is rather blah in comparison to other French places in the area. Go elsewhere and get better quality for the same prices and with much better service.
Jody JohnsonMarch 3, 2012Bummer. Staff said I needed to print out the deal. That's not how this works! Great bar and atmosphere.
Brian MurrayMarch 31, 2012If you want to wait 20 minutes for a bloody Mary, go ahead. Wait in line at shake shack for a good meal.

Erin RechOctober 1, 2010I disagree with The Times dissing Mr. English. All drinks and food are delish!
Miguel MolinariAugust 12, 2011Want great Todd English food? Go to Olives. The excellent creme brulee and blueberry cheesecake hardly made up for salty lobster bisque, bland soft shelled crab and mediocre hanger steak. Meh service.
The New York TimesSeptember 28, 2010Have a few drinks in the bar, then head elsewhere for dinner. Mr. English's French needs a little work. Read more
- Steven FriedenthalNovember 12, 2011Don't expect that an order of asparagas in the lounge will be served as finger food. Who'd of thought?
David LaffertyJanuary 29, 2011The fried oysters wrapper in carpaccio is very good but the rest was very disappointing.
Sanders AMarch 21, 2013Очень неплохое место посидеть днем или вечером в тишине, поговорить и легко перекусить
