Elyse EstradaMarch 25, 2014Use the secret bathroom upstairs but bring some money so you can get your palm read.
John CoatesJune 11, 2017The burger!!!! For those that have had a lot of burgers, and promised to be wow'd. This delivers.- Oh man, the burger au poivre is so good. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Only available at the bar and not even listed on the menu yet.
Get there by 5pm (even though they don't serve until 5:30) to enjoy the Burger - only served at the bar and they are limited.
Rock RainesJanuary 27, 2020Steak au poivre is excellent but a tad pricey at $52. Burger is fantastic but I could do without the bun tbh
Sherry ChrisJanuary 4, 2015One of the best burgers ever. It's not on the menu, you can only order at the bar.
Julie BlinbaumMarch 27, 2016Amazing vichyssoise and their pasta with ratatouille is out of this world!
Michel BallardJuly 28, 2013There's a second dining area in the back (through the kitchen) that is awesome. Same food but totally different vibe.
Bergdorf GoodmanFebruary 11, 2014It's a BG New York City Secret! Tibi's Amy Smilovic says this is "the perfect little hideaway restaurant"—especially while it's snowing.

BLOUIN ARTINFOMay 28, 2010This SoHo institution serves the best steak au poivre in New York. Near the back-left booth, check out the photo of art dealer Leo Castelli posing in the restaurant’s kitchen.
The Burger is insane....cut it in half and dip in the sauce. Unreal
Aimee DuellJune 28, 2011if you can score a table in the secret back patio, you will not regret and probably want to squat there for a few weeks. Read more
MEL BROWN STUDIOSAugust 24, 2014Great decor fab service wonderful food. Definite visit no matter what your tastes are.
Bin YangNovember 14, 2011Amazing little garden to dine in in the back, plus the french food is fantastic. Get the tartare! And the steak!
Alyssa B.August 3, 2019I have to say, the burger. Served at the bar only. If there’s a wait, tell them you’re there for THE burger, and they’ll reserve it for you. Pair with a bourdeaux
Alex HunterJanuary 23Great place to impress out of towners and get absolutely sloshed from martinis ❤️
Seb BenchSeptember 19, 2011Ask for a table out back - u go thru the kitchen! Then order oysters and pepper steak plus good wines - unbeatable!- HowardMay 24, 2017Arrive at 5 sit at the bar and order the burger wait till 5:30 to be served. 0nly 12 served. Have a drink until the burger comes.
Mindy JoyceApril 14, 2012Tired of waiting for a table? Be nice to the mayor and he might help you out. Definitely has some sway here.
Santiago Perez SuarezApril 8, 2013The waiter offered a temporary special on the menu: rabbit. Highly recommended
Minnie MortimerSeptember 9, 2010This restaurant is perfect for a romantic date. When I'm in New York for Fashion Week I love to escape here for a calmer setting and classic French food.
AlesiaNovember 10, 2011Artichoke and steak au poivre are excellent. Definitely a bit pricey, but worth it.
Foxxy BJuly 3, 2017So you get in line 30 min before the 5pm 12 burger bar service (although they only have 9 bar stools). You wait another hr because you were 10/12. Incredible & worth it. Place doesn't fill up till 8.
Deborah TsuchidaJanuary 8, 2019Tip for myself, haven't tried: "best burger by Thrillist, but only 12 made each night at bar. Make it there before kitchen opens @5:30 to experience their perfect burger"
Pip HolmesFebruary 21, 2010Stunning French food. Ask for a table at the back and get to walk through the busy kitchen. The profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce are amazing!
ᴡ BOctober 12, 2012For the sake of redundancy, get the steak au proive and the artichaut vinaigrette.

Two brothers journeyed from France to Soho. Serge stood outside importuning passersby to enter and taste. The rest is New York bistro history.
