    Third time dining at Le Rivage pre theatre. Everyone was perfect and execute our time constrictions with plenty of time without rushing us. Each course was perfection. Cocktails, French onion soup, mussels, French onion burger, chocolate mouse and molten chocolate cake. Delicious! A particular standout was server Nicole. More than pleasant, helpful and excellent with timing our meal as well as two other couples that had similar needs. Because I preferred a less sugary dessert, she was quick to make great choices. Thank you so much Nicole A great establishment in the theatre district.

    I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

    This was our first time at one of the quality brand restaurants. It was a fantastic experience. The French onion soup was so cheesy and delicious just what we wanted after a cold day walking around the city. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was also so simple but so delicious. The staff were so friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary and we were greeted from every staff member serving us wishing us a happy anniversary along with a card and a dessert. It was very special and we will be back again.

    We went for lunch prior to a matinee and enjoyed Gruyère and bacon omelettes with salads and a side of French fries. It was delicious with a glass or of wine. This one of our favorite spots in the Theater District. Excellent service and a nice menu. Our server Jonny was great.
