Dirty French is a New York bistro created by Major Food Group’s Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick. The restaurant takes its culinary cues from the timeless dishes and preparations of classic French bistros and enlivens them utilizing modern techniques and bold flavors. Dishes like Duck à l’Orange with ras el hanout and preserved oranges remain true to their French roots but are restyled with flavors that explore the breadth and depth of the global French culinary influence.

Always a great place.
Great room, good jazz, very good food, and very good service. We had brunch.
Mushroom millefeuille was good and inventive, but the main dishes, though good, lacked creativity. Too expensive for what it is.
Terrible food
Terrible, the worst
Fab dinner. Before show at Mercury Lounge. Definitely will return! Friend and I each had trout meunière.
Delicious food as usual. Eggs, pastries, wine. Really good time and today they had a cool jazz band.
Chicken for two is a must! Mushroom app is delicious as well as doughnut desserts. Cocktails great too
the perfect spot for a special dinner with my family!
We celebrated Birthday! The service was slow. Took about 20 mins to get our drinks and they messed up two of our orders. Ambiance is nice and the hotel it’s attached to is beautiful. Don’t think I would come back, food was very expensive for the quality.
Food and ambience were good. Service was so so.. feels as if they didn’t have enough waiters to serve the floor. We were waiting long time to be seated, to order and for the food to come. And the waiter barely spoke to us to check if everything was alright.
Dirty French continues to offer up some of the most amazing dining experiences in all of New York
Top quality food (tuna tartare and grilled oysters)
Thoughtful and friendly service, beautiful relaxed atmosphere, great food and extensive wine list. What else is there? I recommend the duck...
Christmas Dinner
Food was great. Music too loud.
Loved our dinner, menu was classic, inspired french fare, in a warm cozy setting. Mashed potatoes were creamy, buttery goodness; haricots vert perfectly cooked. We were celebrating our Anniversary and the restaurant provided us lovely comped glasses of champagne. Very thoughtful, thank you.
Al momento de entrar la Hostess nos ofreció varias opciones de mesas para escoger, lo que me pareció muy amable (antes no había pasado esto, nunca!)
Al llegar no tuvimos que esperar, teníamos reserva, otro punto a favor, otras veces nos ha tocado esperar aún teniendo reserva!
El servicio como siempre REGULAR, el mesero olvidó mandar nuestro Main course, tuvimos que esperar acerca de 20min., sólo se acercó y dijo que ya la comida venía en camino pero aún así esperamos unos 15mins después de eso! También nos dijo que estábamos pidiendo DEMASIADA comida, con ese énfasis y la verdad quedamos súper bien, un poco llenos pero nada excesivo!
Pedimos una botella de vino, el sommelier parecía no estar muy seguro de algunas preguntas que le hicimos, pero nos hizo una recomendación y nos gustó, en precio-calidad, muy buena elección!
Al final de la cena, mi acompañante botó el vino que quedaba en su copa y la copa cayó al piso y se quebró, y en vez de decir que todo estaba bien, limpiar y preguntarle si deseaba otra copa, fueron recogieron todo de la mesa, limpiaron y nos hicieron sentir, por la actitud, que nos estaban tratando como NIÑOS que ya estaban “pasados de tragos”!
Por la comida, excelente, todo en su punto, el flat bread de bienvenida siempre delicioso!
Nosotros pedimos el Carpaccio, los Beets, las ostras al grill, el pollo para dos y el tartare de atún, con el vino y la cuenta fueron alrededor de 350$ Nada “accesible”!
Me encanta Dirty French por la comida, pero el servicio es lo que siempre me hace querer ir menos y menos veces! Pase de ir al menos 6 veces al año e incluso celebrar mi cumpleaños y algunos eventos especiales ahí, a ir 1-2 veces al año! Es muy triste porque la calidad de la comida es excelente pero el servicio cada vez siento que es peor!
Great place.
Come back a million times !
Staff not very friendly. Pushing drinks and food.
We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally made it over last weekend to celebrate our anniversary. I’m Happy to say it was a very solid choice. We were greeted by the very fabulous Royce who gave us a lovely table and made some very good recommendations. We had the lamb carpaccio, the grilled oysters and the duck. All were excellent choices. The bread they give you is also delicious. We had the lemon tart for dessert which was also good
Brunch for 8 and it was wonderful. Thanks
Unbelievable from beginning to end!!
Overall a good experience. Appetizers were good, entree’s very good. Service was food and not intrusive . The atmosphere was very nice but the blaring 80s pop music has to go. Finally I wish they had some more reasonable price options on wine. At this price point (both food and wine) there definitely are better options out there.
Met up with friends and had so much fun!
espectacular! muy buen lugar! muy buena comida, buen ambiente
I never write a negative review however today’s experience was a true disappointment. I read other reviews about how bad the service was and since I wasn’t in a rush I didn’t think much of it and it was astonishing to experience such a lack of service and untrained waitstaff. The food was also disappointing I ordered the duck confit hash... both the duck and the potatoes were so crispy that they were crunchy… Way over done.
Fabulous on all counts. Food was spectacular and service attentive and helpful.
Excellent French bistro food. Service was friendly but a bit disorganized at opening for lunch. Noise level would probably be much higher when busy.
Brunch was fabulous
This was my second time here and first time for the lunch menu. The food was fantastic. Had the oysters with a friend and we each got a sandwich. Both were perfection.
Food was so good We also stayed for a coffee and some dessert.
Will definitely be coming here more often.
Millefuille was amazing ... pair with a Gewurtztraminer & pat yourself on the back.
Phenomenal food. Wonderful service. Delicious cocktails. Great spot to go for a fun meal
My party found the experience of food and ambience very enjoyable, with attentive service.
Negotiating the wine list was shocking.
Paris Bistro's offer wine that is affordable to compliment the meal, but here, Dirty French takes the opportunity to gouge. It was a struggle to find a bottle for less than $70....Makes me less likely to return....
We had an awesome brunch experience at Dirty French! We got seated in their patio area and it was so beautiful with a lot of light and it was very comfortable because it was covered.
They also have live jazz music on Sundays so it had a great vibe.
I got the duck hash for brunch... highly recommend it! It was tasty and eggs were perfectly cooked.
We also shared the Pims drink which is not only refreshing but also pretty!
I would definitely go back to Dirty French for brunch.
Fun place! Great for a late night meal. Food and ambiance are excellent
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was so much fun but the service was terrible. It just made dinner longer though which was fun!
This visit was wonderful, as usually. The staff made our 31st Anniversary special.
The food is always extraordinary. This is one of our favorite restaurants so we will return. Wish it was tomorrow!
Great food and drinks. The complimentary flatbread was actually heavenly. I would’ve just had that for dinner, it was that good! Excellent service as well. Highly recommend for a fancy date night.
Good food and festive atmosphere. But disorganized service and overpriced. Limited wine list and literally 5 different bottles I selected were unavailable. Overall: not bad, but not special and not worth the money.
It was recommended to me by a friend but I had no idea how superb it would be. Every dish we had just kept making us happier and happier.
