    We had lunch before a 1 pm matinee performance. As always, Le Rivage moved us along at just the right pace to easily get to our show. Our group enjoyed onion soup, caesar salad, baked stuffed mussels, beef tartare, pan-seared cod with artichoke, trout almandine, and beef bourguignon. And I should not forget the chocolate mousse, creme brûlée and profiteroles. Three of our group had the not-expensive prix-fixe, the other two ordered from the a la carte menu. We love this peaceful French hideaway just below sidewalk level with its charming and helpful staff.

    Best Escargots ever. Steak Frites, Duck and Beef Bourgonone excellent. Our server was great. After the shock of being seated at the smallest table I've ever seen, we ended up having a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

    Great pre theater restaurant. Classic and consistent. Just a lil more expensive than I remembered. But what isn’t these days.

    Le Rivage is a quaint restaurant with excellent service. Staff is pleasant and helpful. They are definitely looking to serve the Theater crowd. Also quiet so we could enjoy the time together

    I am one of the most difficult customers to please, being a “foodie” I am very picky and extremely seldom end up eating my food. This was one of the exceptions, I can’t speak more highly of this place. It was very good before Covid, but has stepped up the quality significantly. Next time I am in NY I will be there as my first stop. It is a small part of France in NY…
