   We were there for my wife’s birthday. The food was superb. My favorite was duck confit with foie grad, a new taste experience for me and one I will remember! The dessert soufflé was also excellent. The owner personally came to our table during the course of the evening to inquire as to whether everything was as we had expected it to be. As it turned out we left a scarf and some small holiday purchases in a gift bag at the restaurant. The next night was New Year’s Eve. They made a special arrangement to insure we could pick up the package several hours before they opened since they would be closing for a month that evening to fit our schedule. Very accommodating for which we are most appreciative.

   Underwhelming- we used to really enjoy this restaurant but it felt stuffy and too precious for even a happy hour menu & clientele. Maybe don’t offer happy hour unless you want to provide a warm gracious experience to entice customers back in for other meals!! Felt like second class citizens when the restaurant should be happy to fill seats with a younger more lively crowd for their empty tables that could spread the word to their peers for example the popularity of an old classic New York haunt like the Carlyle Bemelman’s bar. Sad to cross this old dame off my list

   Unfortunately had a terrible experience on December 29, 2022 resulting from the actions of two patrons. The staff was unwilling to address the vulgar actions after pointing out. Public display of affection is one thing…. but touching of private parts has no place in a public setting…. let alone in a trusted establishment like La Grenouille. Truly disappointed with a lack of interest in addressing the behaviors of these two guests. We also called the next day, Dec. 30 to verbally address with manager, however were told that he/ she was too busy.

   I’am French, and I am not happy at all about this French restaurant. The owner is very grumpy as all the staff. It doesn’t deserve 195$ menu for 3 courses. They are in a ruch to order and put people out of the restaurant. They very agressive and the don’t deserve any attention or tips…. Forget this place there are better restaurants in NYC. You can contact me on LinkedIn if you want more info about my awful experience.

   Another wonderful meal at La Grenouillie. The decor, the flowers, the ambiance, the food (foie gras, lobster salad, Dover sole, Grand Marnier and pistachio soufflés) were all wonderful as was the service by Roger and the waiters. Feel so lucky to be able to experience this at Christmas time and can’t wait to repeat next year. Thank you, La Grenouillie.

    We were dining for my husband’s birthday & to celebrate our daughter’s marriage. She and her new husband had never been to Le Grenoulille so the were very excited. We ALL had a throughly delightful evening. The food, service and ambience were top notch , but the best part was the ability to dine & converse at a calm pace while enjoying incredible fare. Where else can you get perfectly prepared frogs legs for the asking? Magnifique!

    Pre-pandemic my husband and I always dined at La Grenouille the evening before boarding the QM2 for a holiday cruise. We always found it a joyful experience due to the excellence and good humor of the staff. The food was and remains consistently good. However, the restaurant has become joyless- the staff workmanlike. Also, despite having made a reservation a month in advance, we were first seated on the third floor (Siberia) next to the piano, which was quite loud. We were less than pleased and so eventually the proprietor-gracelessly - found us a table in the front room, clearly conveying the attitude that he was doing us an enormous and unwarranted favor. This had been one of our favorite restaurants. Sadly, we will not return. What a disappointment.

    High expectations not quite met. Very beautiful, elegant, everything it should be. But… some small issues, some not small… at the bar a “regular” asked where the “cheese puffs were” and the bartender said (loudly) you have to pay for them now! I was kind of surprised as a few customers lamented that they used to get special almonds and cheese puffs with their drinks. (Supply chain issues with the almonds apparently). It seems like the restaurant could have come up with something for their devoted clientele. Since we were not regulars, we are seated at a non desirable table. The service started out ok, but did not reach the level it should have reached for a $195 price fixed meal. Our waiter was never around. And even getting the bill took 10 minutes. The owner (?) came to the table next to us and greeted the people, then went to the table on the other side of us, and we did not get a hello. The food was good (clams over salted which I mentioned but no response) but not as exceptional as I remember in the past. There were a number of other small things that bothered, and I do not want to be petty as I know this is not an easy time for this restaurant like others. But with a final bill with tax and tip of over $350 per person, they need to up their game.

    If I could give La Grenouille 100 stars I would. I'm not sure I've ever had better service anywhere around the globe. And the food? OMG, incredible. We had the warm lobster medallion salad, chilled foie gras terrine, grilled seafood medley and filet mignon Rossini foie gras -- all perfect! Cocktails were also amazing, freshly muddled with high-end organic ingredients, and the soufflé was as good as La Lorraine in Paris. If you're looking for a place to have a very special dinner, this is it!

    One of my favorite restaurants in the city. From the ambiance to the service, food and beverage selections, I am always pleased and satisfied. Physically the restaurant is beautiful, and their team approach to making sure detail is handled beautifully is appreciated. I opted for the three course prix fix menu. Enjoyed a delightful lobster salad, Dover Sole entree and Floating Island for dessert. All delicious and beautifully presented. I was there solo for this visit, and enjoyed every moment.

    Wonderful restaurant and dining experience. The owner came over and gave us a history of his family restaurant. Food was exceptional start to finish. This great atmosphere is not found in many restaurants anymore. Wonderfully classy and upscale. A jacket is required but the owner was nice enough to loan me one. We wish more places held onto this tradition. Highly recommend.

    Since 1962 La Grenouille has been the place to go for a romantic dinner, excellent food, great service managed by the always efficient Jean Pierre, and lovely welcome of owner and also singer Philip Masson. The lights are also very flattering and the flowers always beautiful. C'est toujours un plaisir de fréquenter La Grenouille, de profiter de son excellente cuisine dans un décor magnifique superbement éclairé et fleuri ainsi que du service très professionnel, et de l'accueil charmant de Philippe Masson qui chante également avec talent les grands standards Américains.
