    I had high hopes for this restaurant...it seemed to have good reviews and it was next to the New Museum of Contemporary Art. The glass of French chardonnay tasted like the bottle had been open for a week and had been sitting under the sink ready to be used for cooking wine. The waitress graciously brought me a glass of another type of white wine, which was at least fresh, and adequate. The menu was too large for an un-busy restaurant and my heart sank a little. But I ordered the branzino, which I thought was a fresh and safe bet. Unfortunately the fish was high...really old and off and sickening. Made worse by being presented well on a lovely plate with roasted tomatoes and potatoes. I would never go back. However the waitress was again gracious and did all she could to salvage the situation.

    The hostess seemed distracted, unable to seat us quickly, despite restaurant's being empty. Servers compensated for her attitude. They were charming. But some desserts came immediately; others came 15 minutes later. After the dining room was half full, the noise became deafening.

    Food was good. The waiters are welcoming. It was my friend's birthday yesterday and I request a candle on dessert. But they seemed totally forgot that, which disappointed me a lot.

    French Restaurant Week menu is a great value with classic bistro items. A traditional French bistro with well prepared food; Roquefort salad, Onion Soup gratineed, Steak frites, Duck confit, Creme brulee & Chocolate mousse were all delicious bringing back nostalgic memories of France. No bells & whistles-just straightforward good cooking.

    Great food, large portions, we had a table of 6 with a mandatory 20 % tip, absolutely zero service . 3 hour dinner, things forgotten. This would be 5 star if the service was decent, it wasn't , not sure if I would go back

    Great brunch and pastries in particular -- and they take reservations. Worth putting on your list if you are going to be in that part of town.

    The restaurant is located next to the New Museum which offers the museum visitor the perfect opportunity to eat at La Gamelle. For my birthday my wife treated me to such a combo and it was an unforgettable experience.
