Ms Helene

Lively bar scene on a Wednesday night, good service and wine list . Salmon tartare didn't taste fresh & the Salade Amelie had an overpowering truffle oil dressing . Best for drinks and snacks .

Ashley Chan

Great happy hour deal - $12 for a wine flight , which is basically 3 normal sized glasses of wine . The escargots are great to pair with the wine too. I'd recommend the sweet white wines flight .

Rachel Ivy

Happy hour wine flights = great deal. Cheese plate and charcuterie was awesome and the ravioli w/ shaved truffle was cheesy heaven! Brought my friends from Paris here& they said it was very authentic .

Shakina

The service was great, the food was DELICIOUS, and the wine was amazing. I can't wait to come back here. And Stefan (sorry if this is the incorrect spelling) was great.

Lau Bonora

The staff is so gentile and cool! They recommended me the wine and the cheese and were great!! Try the Kunik cheese is delicious !! Or also order the table of cheeses . The ambient is also very cool

Jasmine 💫

Asked for recommendation on the cheese + charcuterie , and the pairings turned out exactly suited to our taste. Topped the evening off with oysters and wine . Friendly staff . Book in advance!

Lori Luo

This modern, upbeat wine bar has an excellent happy hour (three glasses for $10) which is complemented by a well-executed French bistro menu. Get the duck confit if you're staying to eat!

Alicia

One of NYC's best hidden gems . Come for HH (offered throughout restaurant ) and create your own wine flight - the sparkling rose is recommended. The bread is also amazing!

Henali

this place is awesome! wonderfully decorated with that romantic vibe , friendly staff , clean bathroom with fresh smelling candles, and amazing happy hour specials til7pm :) def going back!

Neha Sebastian

The wine flights are definitely a must have. The service is a bit slow but they made up for that with a complementary creme brulee . The duck leg was delicious!!

Nancy

Good bistro food (salads , steak , etc.) clean , lively (aka loud but comfortable ), great service, local w. 8th St cafe worth a visit if in the area.

Angeline Bryant

The flights of wine are a great deal. Get to try three different fabulous wines for a decent price. Also they have beautifully large glasses

Meylin M

Try to get a seat; the high stools section is a bit uncomfortable. But the food was great! Get the goat cheese ball and zucchini bread ; surprisingly tasty!

josie chen

Good selections of wine (don't do cocktail ), awesome french food . Come before 7pm for happy hour wine flights . Friday nights are crowded .

Micah Chiles

Busy, cute French wine bar. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Food standouts: chicken liver mouse , beet salad , ravioli , duck confit

Monica Cullen

Fairly priced with delicious appetizers . The roasted figs are perfect! We ordered a lot ...the table was almost too small for all of our food !!

Jasmine 💫

For the pretentious foreigner in everyone, a hole in the wall for good wine and conversation. Recommend the Kunik cheese and chorizo .

Arjun Ram

Perfect place to@grab a quick drink after work. Crostini’s and rose ! 😍

Jaim

The whole trout is a must try! Very well done, very tasty and it's filleted. Pistachio crusted goat cheese is amazing with the caramelized red cabbage .

Dipika

Best wine happy hour ever. Servers are very knowledgable - I got a super dry red, champagne , and Riesling . Can't go wrong for a flight of 3 for $10!!

Nicole

Get there before happy hour starts on a Friday, otherwise you'll be out of luck finding a seat. Tables are reserved , so don't just sit down at a free one.

Nauman Noor

Charcuterie and cheese plate is the way to go. Paired with white wine , it is hard to go wrong.

Smriti Sinha

Amazing cheese and meat plates — one of the only in this neighborhood . Nice music and lots of options

Natalie Miyake

Amazing happy hour - $10 for a flight of three wines of your choice. Recommend getting it with the escargot , duck pate and olives .

Serious Eats

A killer happy deal: from 5 to 7 p.m., the bar offers three generous half-pours of any wine for $10.

Yodalis Moran

The goat cheese is everything you've ever wanted. Nice ambience and good spot to catch up with friends. Happy hour prices are great!

Kathryn D

Cozy and charming spot with excellent wine list and food. Don't miss out on the ravioli .

Amaury TouchyourTrilili

Ravioles and steak frites were really good. Escargots are definitely worth it as different sauce than usual.

R K

Now this is my kinda place. Have a side car (I preferred many). Great music and crew. Thank you.

Mato Duris

Very nice place with live music . Don't be afraid to get the relatively cheap Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, you'll love it!

Jonathan Colmenares

Great wine list & nice service. Go before 7pm and enjoy a flight (3 different small glasses) for $12.

Pauline P

The liver mousse was not to my liking because the taste was so strong. The duck confit was extremely good. Service was great!

Gellie Chaya

Wine flights are definitely the way to go. Goat cheese in the cheese platter is yummy 👍🍷 🍷 🍷 🍴💯

Vince Frisina

You can’t go wrong with the wine flights ! Trust the bartender and try something new.

Allen George

The bartender Jacques is a blast - super fun to talk to! Decent wine selection . Not a huge fan of the steak tartar though...

Tiffany S

Get the 3-cheese plate! Comes with delightful accompaniments including bread , apples , grapes , strawberries , candied walnuts , jam , and honey

Vivian Vo

Come here for HH and order everything on the menu!!! So delicious.

Arin Ray

Great selection of wine and cheese pairings! The waiters are very helpful in picking what to pair

Steph Crudele

Delicious and authentic french cuisine with really friendly staff and beautiful decor inside. Be prepared to drop some $.

Nicolette Romero

I was creepily staring at other people's cheese plates . They looked amazing! Sit at the bar and wine it up!

Santino Sladavic

Massive pours here. Great happy hour . Staff is great as well .

Mike Nickerson

Great choice for a date night dinner . Beautiful decor and delicious, authentic French food .

icelle

Try the escargot ! Try the Anthony and Benjamin wine flights !

!:gem:!

Only 7 weeks old and already well seasoned and fine tuned . A selection of 60 wines by the glass. Very hip retro feel. And affordable .

Mayank Mahajan

Awesome wine flights with double sized pours

Joshua Decker

Duck confit , beef tartare , branzino , and the cheese balls are delicious. Unreal!

Saleem

Happy hour 5-7pm features $12 3-glass wine flights . Appetizers available too

Cheryl Huang

I like how they bring you the wine list with a record and bill with a book . Good food!!!

Roggy Rocksteady

Creme brûlée is glorious! Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for the real Amélie - word is she waits tables every now & then...

Ellis Hamburger

Steak tartare was incredible, cheese selection was great. Had a wonderful time.
