Cafe TallulahBrunchWent for brunch this past Sunday. Crowded but comfortable. I had hamburger and fries. Delicious. Husband had Eggs Benedict and loved them. Had dinner here when first opened. They had growing pains. This time food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Service has always been great as have the drinks. We found our weekly brunch spot.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA welcome addition to the UWSGreat French food in a charming and cozy space The music level was adult and the service excellent. The clientele was varied;we were there for a 75 th birthday dinner;a t one table next to us a woman was grading papers for a college course;at another 4 young women were celebrating a birthday with drinks and dessert. The owner Greg Hunt was very welcoming and attentive5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFinally a Restaurant Opens HereThe long-ago site of Victor's Café seemed doomed forever, many signs, but nothing opened. Finally, Café Tallulah! Had dinner there last night and it was delicious. My dinner partner and I shared the mussels entrée as an appetizer. Mussels were delicious and the French fries were outstanding. Why did nobody think of bringing us seafood forks? I don't drink wine, only cognac, Armagnac. I am usually left with a choice of Hennessy VS or Remy. Here, the choice was huge, the prices reasonable and the pours generous.The crème brulee for dessert would have been greatly improved if someone had actually "bruleed" the top, or caramelized the sugar topping. The inside crème was very tasty.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a great dinner with aHad a great dinner with a friend. I will definitely be back. I had salad (the frisee) and scallops, my friend had the branzino. It was very tasty. The drinks were great! I definitely suggest the serge gainsbourge. It was a fun, upbeat place - definitely not a quite crowd.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastique!Tallulah, thank you for being the much needed UWS restaurant addition I've been long awaiting. My recent visits have been nothing short of lovely. The staff is polite and helpful. The food is decadent(as French Bistro food should be.) Try the: french onion soup- nicely seasoned; steak tartare- tender and nicely acidic; tarte flambee- a must try for meat & cheese lovers; lamb-exceptionally tender and accompanied by a tasty ratatouille; beef bourguignon- my fav in NYC. The drinks: divine; word is the bar staff is largely comprised of EO vets; it's reflected in the deliciously well crafted cocktails. It's also an aesthetically pleasing space with a gorgeous tin ceiling & cozy lounge downstairs4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAb FabWaited until the “new opening rush” was over. Read some spotty things about Tallulah. Either they changed things, or none of it was true. Was a Tuesday night, so crowded, but not insane. Drinks were great. House drink terrific. We both had tuna tartare to start. Perfect. Had the scallops and the burger. Both were excellent. No dessert menu. Only 3 choices. Had the flour free chocolate cake. It was terrific. Wait staff extremely nice and helpful in choices. Music and atmosphere just right. Not a thing to complain about. I’ll be back. Just what the neighborhood needed.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMwonderful neighborhood place,wonderful neighborhood place, warm, relaxed with great food4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWorth a return!Well prepared and very flavorful branzino filets over cous cous, wonderful pasta, solicitous service. Tallulah had a rough patch which is now a thing of the past. The new chef is adventurous but respectful of food traditions too. Go and see for yourself!4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMAfter an inconsistent startAfter an inconsistent start it appears that CT found its legs. We had a great night there recently for four of us. As many UWSers know, the ambiance is great and the bar is one of the best in the area and is where we began with a couple of cocktails - the Serge Gainsbourg and the Maximilian were tasty - and oysters (great add!). For dinner, the tarte flambé and octopus were favored starters. The scallops and moules frites were the best of the entrees. The steak au poivre was not prepared as ordered but was fine. The wine list could use a few more less expensive choices for when you don't feel like spending the $$. The waitress was on top of things and our food arrived on time and hot, which is a pet peeve when it is not. Good stuff.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe live in the neighborhoodWe live in the neighborhood and are thrilled that cafe Talullah has come to columbus. It's fun hip great food and the service is soooo friendly we will be back many more times4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best part about Café TallulahThe best part about Café Tallulah was the truffle fries. I am a New York City foodie and get truffle fries wherever I go. I thought they were the best I have had in a while. Looking forward to coming back for this dish. And the scene at the bar was great, lots of single yet sophisticated guys to choose from.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMCrème Brulee at Café TallulahCrème Brulee at Café Tallulah was caramelized just the right amount. I’m typically picky when it comes to Crème Brulee. I was happy to find they reached my standards and beyond.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMI’ve been living on the UpperI’ve been living on the Upper West Side for a few years. I was really excited to hear of a new French restaurant coming into our neighborhood. There are very good places to eat around here, but nothing French. I was treated amazingly by the wait staff. The seat by the window was a little cold but the staff was very kind, attentive and always making sure I received the upmost service despite this minor setback.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMI have visited the newly talkedI have visited the newly talked about Café Tallulah for dinner a few times now and I am happy to say it’s nice to have this place in our neighborhood. At first I was taken by the venue - the bar upstairs is very cool hang out, and the lounge downstairs is even better with a fireplace and pool table. Happy that I don’t have to travel downtown to look for a place to hang out after a great meal. The cocktails are special, they have a real team of mixologists behind the bar. The food has been a work in progress, now with the new chef they seem to have gotten the kinks out and the burger is definitely one of my favorites. I will be sure to go back.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMCafe Tallulah was such anCafe Tallulah was such an amazing experience for me. I was fortunate enough to devour the salmon with the side of rapini. I also had the Jacques Rose followed by a Cuban Daquiri. The Daquiri was my favorite because of it's sweet and succulent flavor. The waitstaff treated us so well. I know my next Upper West Side visit will involve Cafe Tallulah.3/6/2013 12:00:00 AM
