MuratJune 25, 2016Great restaurant with great steaks. Skirt steak is awesome. Wine menu is very good. Service and staff are very nice. Prices are affordable. Reservation is required.
Jonathan BrandonOctober 20, 2015Monday is 1/2 off every bottle of wine! The onion soup was the best I've ever had and the steak with peppercorns was wonderful if you like it a bit spicy.
Cecile LuJanuary 1, 2016Got the burger, wasn't seasoned well enough and the patty was cooked slightly too much (I got a medium, asked for medium rare). The egg was great, fries were great.
DensDecember 15, 2014We rolled in late on a Tuesday and it was hip hop dance party meets awesome steak frites (with bearnaise!). Cocktails pricey for the size, pass on the escargot.
One of the restaurants I'm happy to repeat visit. Appetizer: escargots, brie & honey, or the Frisée aux Lardons. Steak and duck confit are tasty, but I always go for Portugues Moules Frites.
Eugene LFebruary 15, 2012Great place. From the dining room dwnstrs to the charming narrow eating area upstairs to the Flatiron Bearnaise and the buttery escargots. Unpretentious, reasonably priced (for manhattan) & a delite.
Igor LevitNovember 29, 2014Excellent selection of classic French dishes. Steak tartare, escargot and steak frites were very good. Good selection of wine, as well.
Ina LiSeptember 11, 2015Come here for their grills and fries. Love the hanger steak with shallot sauce! Great variety of wine selection is a plus
I'm not a red meat eater, but if you like moules and actually crispy fries (they are twice fried to get an amazing crust and crunch).
Lesley RJune 17, 2013Cute and cozy place tucked away in the Financial District. Save room for dessert! The cherry cheesecake and carmel apple tart were fabulous.
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 17, 2012Just as good as it’s uptown sister and their delivery service is amazing – the steak au poivre with french fries arrive as good as if it was table service.
Jacob RosenbergDecember 7, 2014The steak frites are the signature dish but everything is pretty tasty at the downtown outpost of this classic Brasserie transported to NYC.
extensive menu but some faves include the croque madame, moules frites, ham & cheese crepe (brunch only), and the mac & cheese (made with gruyere)- 1/2 priced bottles of wine on Mondays. Table side steak tartare, correctly cooked fried, but no tuna steak at this French bistro 😔
Danny ChangNovember 26, 2014The devil eggs with black truffle is not bad. You can taste the truffle for sure .
Favorite date night place in the neighborhood. Awesome ambiance, fantastic food, great service. Just go.
The brie and honey starter and the steak tartar are delicious! Steak frites is good. Fries are the best. Mussels - yum! No AC so gets a little steamy in the summer. Great staff.
Steak & frites, hand cut fries are delicious! Bearnaise sauce is worth having too!
Harumi UOctober 1, 2014In the area where we don't have the kind of dining options that Manhattan typically offers, this is one of a few solid ones.
Mary LaymanAugust 5, 2015Steak Frites was the bomb. A bit noisy as atmosphere goes but the food was top notch.
Very diligent and responsible with gluten-free requests, and the gf options are labeled on the menu now
Sebastian MartinezJune 19, 2014One of the best steaks I've ever had. Order it with fries and salad. Simply amazing
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011A plethora of salads, sandwiches and bistro fare compliment the laid-back surroundings of Les Halles. The perfect place to grab a quick bite.
Amanda KellyFebruary 17, 2015There's an awesome virtual tour for this place. It's a great way to check out the ambiance before you go! Read more
Larisa GrollemondJune 28, 2016Good pick for the area, standard brasserie food. Try the old school crêpes suzette.
Maureen Nayman MorroneApril 21, 2014Rum parfait for desert and hope you are lucky enough to have Natalia as your server, she is the best
Cole KennedyApril 18, 2015The eggs Benedict plus a grapefruit mimosa at breakfast was tasty, but the service was slow as can be.
Wei VaynMarch 15, 2015Try the Mouclade Moules - Mussels with curry, white wine & cream (via @Foodspotting)
Downtown AllianceAugust 29, 2010Lively, bustling and charmingly french. Turn-of-the-century tin ceiling. Large wine selections, and specials! You can get our free Downtown dining guide at
Great place for quick and affordable lunch downtown. $15 or so. Something on menu for everyone. Classic burger + fries are unbeatable. And they seat partial parties.
Tim Van AukenSeptember 15, 2013Hungry... it's a place to rest, eat and enjoy the atmosphere with friends.
Of course the mussels are great here, but breakfast is just as delicious.
Edward VJanuary 7, 2014Read Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, then come eat here. It will make you appreciate the efforts to cook your meal.
Chrissy NucumMay 28, 2013Was off to a very rocky start - server did not know what the specials were & the escargots were overcooked & overbuttered. But they redeemed themselves with the rest of the food. And the dessert! Yum!
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 27, 2012CIA grad Anthony Bourdain has an interesting position here: Chef-at-Large. There's a lot that's interesting about Anthony Bourdain's career. Read more
- andraJuly 14, 2013Kid-friendly. Stroller accessible. No changing table. Restroom is downstairs. The food is nice. The service is very friendly.
Raffa RodriguezMay 7, 2013Brunch or dinner. Can't go wrong. If it has a hint of truffle oil, have it!
Eugene KimbergMarch 9, 2013They have the second floor sitting area which is cozy and quiet, compared to the ground floor.
Omar CruzJanuary 16, 2014Good lunch, however you are better off paying cash if you find yourself having to rush back to work. They can take long with credit cards unless the system goes down.
- Emilio DominguezJune 29, 2016JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT THE FOOD WAS GREAT, but the SERVICE VERY MEDIOCRE!!
