Cafe Luxembourg is a quintessential New York bistro offering "amazing service" and "delicious food" in a vibrant, lively atmosphere. Known for its "outstanding" staff and classic French dishes, it's a beloved spot for brunch, dinner, or special occasions. Despite its bustling nature, it remains a "reliable staple" on the Upper West Side.

    Brunch at Cafe Luxembourg was lovely. The wait staff was very attentive. We had Eggs Benedict and Salmon Eggs Benedict, which came with generous portions of crispy french fries. Started with delicious peach bellinis and finished with raspberry sorbet. A great place for Sunday brunch.

    We always dine at Cafe Lux when in NYC. it is consistently great. We dined at the bar and were served by Amanda. She made excellent cocktails and made sure everything was as we ordered.

    I ordered flank steak with a green salad as my entrée. What I was served was London broil slices that were tough, well done on the end slices with fatty vein throughout the slices that were on my plate. I eat dinner out quite a bit and I know the difference between flank steak and London broil - what I was served was NOT flank steak. I was with an out-of-town client and I did not want to make a scene having to order something else while their entree would get cold until my replacement meal was served. I called the restaurant when I got home and explained the situation to the manager. He was rather uppity and suggested that I was disparaging his restaurant by making this claim and told me he would talk to the executive chef. I really felt this was a bait and switch situation. Very disappointing - I’m just giving future patrons a heads up to steer clear of the “flank steak” that’s on the menu!

    Dear Janet, We were disappointed you didn’t enjoy your meal at Cafe Luxembourg. We do our very best to ensure every guest leaves satisfied. Since you felt you couldn't express your dissatisfaction due to consideration of your dining companions, it, unfortunately, didn’t offer us the opportunity to rectify the situation. We do our best to resolve issues as they arise. The chef (and I) assure you that the flank steak on the menu is indeed a “true” flank steak. It would be inconceivable to represent product we serve as anything but what is stated on the menu. Cafe Luxembourg was founded in 1983. We would not be here today if the modus operandi was disingenuous or rooted in trickery.

    Food and service excellent as always, but, as with so many restaurants, I do wish the noise level weren't so high. OpenTable uses the silly euphemism "energetic" for the highest level of noise — c'mon, guys, just say LOUD.

    They always treat us well. We were celebrating our 59th anniversary, starting with a glass of sparkling wine. A chicken dumpling appetizer was tasty as were our entrees, Sticky Purple Rice for me and Steak Frites for my husband. For dessert we were treated to a Hot Fudge Sundae. We had some leftovers, so the celebration will continue tonight. Thank you.

    We were greeted with a great big smile, and the service all throughout was outstanding. Our waitress Grace, made sure we had a delicious meal and was attentive and respectful. The feel is a real NY bistro. From the day it opened, Cafe Luxembourg It is a NYC standard.

    Always enjoy dining here. The quality of the food is very consistent and prepared nicely. The daily specials are also very creative and tasty. The service is very attentive for a very busy place. Convenient to Lincoln Center pre or post performance.
