Incredible food and an incredible, intimate experience. From the cocktails to the main entrees, this was one of the best meals I've had in NYC. I suggest this for a special occasion like a birthday.

Hidden gem. One of my favorite cocktail bars in West Village. Delicious seasonal french plates available. Cozy, intimate, chic. Recommend for dates or catching up with a friend.

Xavier is a gem. Ask him for a cocktail reco and you can't go wrong. Do the prix fixe and you'll be stuffed. Don't miss the barley risotto, which is much lighter than a normal risotto. Sit outside.

Been here multiple times and the food is consistently on point. Plus, they have some of the best bar tending in the west village.

super cute small cocktail place. i had the Shush and it was so spicy/good with chipotle! the shore leave is another amazing cocktail brady and i got with adelyn + oliver. comes in tiki jar!
Joanna LinOctober 27, 2013
Been here 5+ times
The Sho Sho (made with carrots, ginger, sherry) and the Tete de Mule (gin, ginger syrup, carbonated mint-and-green-tea water) are light but divine cocktails. Xavier is a phenomenal bartender!

So happy to find this gem! The cocktails are perfectly balanced. Ask the bartender to surprise you with an off the menu drink. Have to come back for the food.

Tiny, intimate space with good cocktails and wines by the glass. I love that it's not very busy even on weekend nights, probably due to the fact that it's tucked away from the main drag.

Incredible restaurant and cocktail spot !! The burger and oysters are the bomb! The spice dessert w ice cream and beet cocktail are ok. Would definitely go back!

Small spot with an even tinier kitchen. Make reservations for dinner or hope to get lucky for one of the four seats at the bar. Get the New Fashioned cocktail (includes maple syrup).

Fantastic NYC dinner: Long Island Duck, Negroni Bianco and Banana Bread. Tiny place (make a reservation) and worth every cent.

If you're having dinner, the lobster dish is great. Get a chèvre course to start and a taste from the raw bar. The waiters had good recs so I'd recommend enlisting their help too.

The SHUSH cocktail was great! Very small venue, but I like the drinks. Plan to come back for food...

An intimate West Village gem. Don’t miss the tuna tartare or Cornelia cocktail if you’re a mezcal fan.
Winson WongFebruary 2, 2015
Really amazing cocktails. Love the cozy space, great for dates. Food options were limited, tasty but not amazing. Disappointed with the bouillabaisse (see photo). Service was attentive.

Tapas. The mixologist made me one of the best drinks EVER here. I have no idea what it was, but it was spicy and incredible. Small spot, will be more difficult with large groups.
Andrew ChoiAugust 9, 2014
Quaint French location perfect for an intimate or romantic cocktail. Get the Adam & Eve, served like this with a paper straw!
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanSeptember 15, 2015
New brunch menu. Lobster & grits 👌. Savory morning bun. Good drinks to boot. It's a neighborhood gem for good reason.
Arielle SilvermanMarch 15, 2015
Came for my boyfriend's bday, one of my favorite meals in the city. Splurge for the tasting menu, so worth it! Favorites include snapper crudo and the cod.
Nathalie NareauApril 16, 2014
Cute cocktail bar, I would make a reservation unless you prefer to sit at the bar. They make a really great smokey cocktail that is a must try for the whiskey lover.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
This cozy restaurant offers an excellent selection of cocktails from the former head bartender at Daniel, all paired with a concise and well-executed food menu.

The Bitches say: B+. Wallflower is a little gem in the West Village, with charming brunch offerings, courteous staff, and an idyllic atmosphere that will draw you back for a second meal. Read more

Love the atmosphere at this tiny cocktail bar. If you come before 7pm on a weekday, they have excellent happy hour specials

It's a cozy hidden gem.🍹: Shush / Look, No Hands *** 🍽️: Deviled eggs & gnocchi *** 🍰: Key Lime Pavlova
Alexandra LeiteJune 3, 2015
Get your girl or boy, start with a cocktail, advance to a bottle of wine and be happy... You're in one of these little spots that made you be in love with the village.
Valentin GuerinJanuary 19, 2015
This place is a hidden gem! The restaurant has a really menu, with a French inspiration. You can also have great cocktails at bar.
AmateurConciergeJuly 28, 2015
For spicy cocktails, Shush >> Cornelia. Scallops are excellent and I don't even like scallops. Skip the tuna tartare: too much sesame oil.
SunainaJanuary 11, 2015
Cute lil hole in the wall place. Great cocktails... Perfect for a date spot... Love the lighting and the tin ceiling.
Cynthia LinNovember 19, 2016
Super unique and high quality cocktails!! The Shush is amazing!
Ariana VoyerAugust 29, 2016
Cozy spot if you get there early enough for a seat at the tiny bar!
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 26, 2018
Love coming here on a slow early evening - monday 7:30 and have the window seat and my tiki drank :) perfection.
Michael CNovember 16, 2014
Ask Xavier for his 'off the menu' cocktails once you have tried most of the ones on the menu. He will not disappoint.
Jessica AbellMarch 5, 2014
Great little hidden gem! Perfect for really good cocktails, and they have a small dining room as well. Love this place.
Valentin GuerinSeptember 28, 2015
Always great, everything is good and the place is so cozy. Your date will love it!
Nate SMay 26, 2017
Perfect date spot - sit at the small booth in the window and sip cocktails together.
miles lennonMarch 6, 2016
In the winter they have a special cocktail called the Black Tie. If you dig bourbon you'll dig this.
diana🐇December 11, 2016
$7 punch of the day during happy hour! + really tasty food and drinks + cozy warm space
laurenSeptember 4, 2014
Great place for drinks & a snack, not a great dinner spot unless you're doing the pre fixe menu.
Rachel LynchJune 8, 2017
really great crab toast and soup! Risotto is amazing, and order a few cocktails!
Laura PacasOctober 22, 2016
Great, cozy atmosphere. Drinks were made to our taste and wonderful customer service.
Stephanie YuanMarch 22, 2016
Cute intimate space, perfect for a low-key Monday
Ernesto GutierrezMay 23, 2018
It breaks my heart but another reviewer called it: the restaurant’s forte are the cocktails. The food was good but not memorable.
Rachel SmithFebruary 11, 2016
Very small but cocktails original, steal flavorful but not large enough to split between 2 ppl like other steak options in city
Nate FeltonJune 29, 2016
Small, but it's the perfect date spot if you can find a seat.
Emi KMay 28, 2015
The Stockholm syndrome cocktail is amazing - citrusy, not sweet, kind of savory. The waitress called it funky lemonade
PUNCHSeptember 24, 2015
Wallflower is a tiny French bistro fronted by a cocktail bar. Garnished with streaks of Angostura, curling citrus peels or thick layers of foam, the drinks are all miniature works of art. Read more

If it's after 8, and you like creamy, minty drinks, the After Eight is right up your alley.
Mike SingletonJuly 27, 2014
Food is good, but the cocktails are the highlight. Better for apps and drinks than a full dinner.
Layla AlotaibiMarch 9, 2018
The burger is superb (but they don’t have ketchup, they’re French after all):)
Umair ZiaFebruary 9, 2014
Probably one of the coolest cocktail bars I've been to in NYC. Try the drink Sush.
