    I can’t say enough good things about Petite Boucherie—it’s always a favorite, but last night for Valentine’s Day was truly exceptional. The ambiance was so warm, making it the perfect spot for a special evening. We started with the escargot, which was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I had the steak frites, cooked to perfection. And dessert? Incredible we got two A special shoutout to our server, Millie, who was an absolute delight! She was incredibly attentive, kind, and made the experience even more memorable. As a regular at Petite Boucherie, I can confidently say that the service and food are consistently top-tier. Can’t wait to be back again soon! :-)

    Came here for the first time with my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed and seated quickly. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was a busy evening. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious (we ordered the salmon, steak frites, mac and cheese and mash potatoes). Only small complaint was that the mash potatoes was cold but the waitress addressed this issue easily and got us another one. The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was very romantic. Our waitress even helped us take some pictures together. Overall wonderful experience and we will be going back for sure. 10/10 would recommend.

    The Cafe Cluny is a West Village treasure still worthy of its reputation. It's a cozy establishment that specializes in French cuisine and you better make a reservation in advance; it's always packed. I love the French Onion soup, the burgers and frites--also the seafood is always fresh and well prepared. I live in the neighborhood and it is one of my good-to places. Bravo.

    Very good soca with botarga. Excellent Echine de Porc! Will come back just for that dish. Salad was very fresh but the vinaigrette was a bit too vinegar forward. Dessert was a rice pudding with persimmon. Totally bland and not worth eating. Had a lovely glass of Côte de Rhône.

    We absolutely adore Le Gigot! The food and wine are really exceptional and remind us of all that we love of French cooking (with a corner of Moroccan coming through). We are always happy to return.
