Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Turtle Bay

Great service and cocktails. Good food. Laidback club-like atmosphere.

We chose without a personal recommendation and were a little worried. It was GREAT. I would not hesitate to return or recommend. I had the branzino - super.

We’re in NYC to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and love to watch Alex on the numerous shows she’s competing on; judging; or hosting. The service was absolutely the best we have ever had (and since we have been in 47 states & 16 Countries) I believe that is remarkable. Food was delicious, perfectly prepared and seasoned, loved the decor and while I felt very underdressed (we had been out sightseeing all day and didn’t have time to dash back to our Airbnb to change) I never felt less than or looked down upon as we have in other upscale restaurants around the world when we have shown up for reservations without time to change into dinner attire. The only negative is that I do have food allergies and I asked for a side to be substitutes and was told that sides couldn’t. Which no big deal I just let my husband have that side. (I did not tell the waiter about my allergies in his defense). Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to experience Butter on their next trip to NYC and to be ready for an amazing meal!

The newest restaurant on 57th Street has had rapid turnover in predecessor restaurants over the past several years. Expectations had gotten low. Paris, however, is owned by the Fireman group which runs3 other very good restaurants within a block. This one is different, it has french theme. The salmon dish was wonderful, as was the goat cheese appetizers. The service was helpful in explaining the unique and tasty non alcohol drink offerings. The onion soup was exceptional. This place also has a roof location, but didn't try it. Hope these guys make it.Will go back often if they do.

This was a very delightful stop last night! The vibe was great and I loved the decor. The server was friendly and helpful. She recommended an upsell that was great with the tuna caviar tartare. Drinks were well made and tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in the neighborhood for an appetizer and a drink.
