The guys behind Nikolai Rose , a cool menswear line , go here for the cocktails . To read more about the designers, head on over to ofakind.com, and check back Wednesday for the edition they made for us!

Nicole

There are classic menu items that never change & seasonal updates. Throughout the years with different management/chefs, the quality has remained consistent. Get the best BLT ever before 5pm.

Branzini , Salmon , Duck Liver Mousse , Luxemburg Manhattan - all great. Attentive service. Great ambience, lights dim as night progresses. Highly recommended for dinner . Family/Date/Friends. ❤ it

Marie La Rue

An UWS classic . Parisian-inspired bistro that consistently delivers . Always busy with diners of all ages. The tuna burger is what dreams are made of. Love their gelato too.

Baturalp

Perfect avocado toast and croque monsieur . Delicious! This place has a lovely French cafe vibe. Great neighborhood gem ! ????????✌️

Trae F

Great neighborhood spot . Food excellent and servers very attentive and friendly . Menu is very enticing making it hard to choose. The five of us all had something different and we all loved our dishes.

The burger and fries are infamous for a reason! This is an UWS classic not dissimilar to Balthazar, Artisanal or Benoit. Easy stroll from the Lincoln Center or IMAX.

Mark B

Elegant, fantastic restaurant on the Upper West Side. Great cocktails - grab a seat at the bar if you can. Delicious food and super friendly staff

b

love the yellowfin tuna burger , but the classics are just as good. it is so cozy and feels like a time capsule

Joan Park

mussels were flavorful and meaty but the fries were over-fried. order the mushrooms on toast as appetizer .

Paolo Barone

A great French brasserie . Had a Croque Madame that was as good as many I had in Paris!

Grace Ladyecua

What a lovely restaurant ! Cuisine, service and ambiance were very good. Our server made sure we got out in time to catch a nearby movie .

Lisette

UWS institution serving reliable French classics. Get the ice cream sundae to share!

Sabrina Majeed

No brunch cocktails before noon on Sunday. The avocado toast is served on a thin piece of bread and comes w a black bean purée that is good in theory but totally overpowers any avocado taste.

Astoriawinediva

Just class and sophistication in a small tucked away cafe on the upper west side. Love the mahi tuna burger & frittes..great little vino selection always. excellent service

Marc S

The lemon tart is a great way to cap a dinner , with a glass of banyuls.

Allan Beaufour

If you are in the mood for æbleskiver/ebleskiver, their ricotta pancakes are like a fluffy pancake version of that.

Ruby Anaya

Great place to take grandma and grandpa. The mussels were super tasty!

Roger Schonfeld

Their Luxembourger is one of the best burgers in NYC. Great bistro menu and environment.

Katie Delevati

The best fish & chips I have ever had, EVER! So friendly and personable are the staff . Can't wait to come back for brunch , I just know the hollandaise here will melt my brain!

Will Harahan

Best french onion soup on the UWS. Feels like a scene out of the movie American Psycho, from the maître'd to the lighting.

Epicurious

The best gazpacho soup of the summer, without even a trace of tomato ! Try the chilled soup , which features mango , cucumber , pepper , and cilantro oil for a fabulous reinvention of a classic standby.

Isa Sierra

We stayed only for a drink but cannot wait to come back. Very classy ambience and great wine menu .

Nicole

Low carb ? Get the steak tartare with extra endive and no toast points. The curled leaves hold the tartare well on their own.

Dana Brown

Country Salad and steak with frites are delicious !!! You must have them both . Maureen is an awesome server , great staff

Adam Schuit

Cute European UWS restaurant . Good for dinner with the family; not a date spot .

In his New York Diet, Frank Bruni tells us that he's "a huge, huge fan of the chicken-salad sandwich ... there's one slice of smoked Gouda at the bottom and it's very mayonnaisey, which I love." Read more

Michael Dezort

Skylar is the best bartender I've ever had. Super friendly and knows her drinks!! Love this spot.

Taylor VA

Steak frites is awesome and also the bartenders are great

David A Andelman

The food is still superb. They very much need a new maitre d'....Reception was insulting and demeaning.

SuYeone Jeon

Very classic French-style upper west side brunch place . The food is good but not amazing.

Nick Ober

If you're a party of two, ask for the table behind a column by the bar . Super cozy and private.

Carey

$19 for avocado toast ? Seriously?

Martin

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie is a great dessert option if you want light and sweet

James John (Jay) Cudney IV

Excellent French cafe . A bit expensive for overall evening.

Will Harahan

The steak tartare is terrific, as is the omelette .

Paige C

Delicious brunch and amazing coffee .

JP

Classic French food and some of the best fries in New York

Diego Rufo

Excelent traditional eggs Benedict , a wide range of nice bread , mimosas and american coffee of course. Read more

Amanda

Try the toasted fig cocktail . It actually tastes like fig and is garnished with a cute licorice wheel.

Sarah Kramer

Best frisse salad in the city . Love this restaurant .

Justin Pulitzer

Steak & French Onion Soup are great, but the Hamburger isn't as firm of a consistency as I'd like.

Korneel Bouman

Wow. Sat eve, 2 people with a 3rd coming later (possibly), and less than an hour before we have to be out. We were seated in 5 minutes and the waitress knew we were in a hurry. Stellar.

Chat Joglekar

French Toast and French Onion Soup (basically anything with "French" in the name is awesome. Read more

Masha Adamian

Excellent fish&chips, great service. Overall, the food is good, but not overwhelming.

Ahmadali A
