    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    An intimate West Village gem. Don’t miss the tuna tartare or Cornelia cocktail if you’re a mezcal fan.

    New brunch menu. Lobster & grits 👌. Savory morning bun. Good drinks to boot. It's a neighborhood gem for good reason.

    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.

    Quaint French location perfect for an intimate or romantic cocktail. Get the Adam & Eve, served like this with a paper straw!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    For spicy cocktails, Shush >> Cornelia. Scallops are excellent and I don't even like scallops. Skip the tuna tartare: too much sesame oil.

    The Stockholm syndrome cocktail is amazing - citrusy, not sweet, kind of savory. The waitress called it funky lemonade

    Friendly service. Not your everyday cocktails. Thoroughly enjoyed the tartare and the rabbit.
