Delightful spot with excellent service for the 4 of us (2 grown daughters who are New Yorkers and their sophisticated San Francisco parents. Coq au Vin (a special) was a stand out and moules were wonderful with perfect french fries and savory, rich broth. Lovely champagne. Once again we felt as if we had escaped for a few hours to a sophisticated bistro in France.

We love the restaurant. Sam K is a very polished server. He made great recommendations and told us the meaning of the restaurant name and decor. He suggested a marvelous wine. We have dined here many times and have never been disappointed. This time I had the boullibase which was chock full of fresh seafood and sauce. My husband had the bean IMO which was moist and tender. The vegetable accompaniment was excellent. We shared the warm strawberries over ice cream. A delightful experience. Looking around the other diners concurred.

Oh my. I'm hunkered down in upstate NY. I miss the drunken boat. I'm at least a 10 year veteran and there were times when I was lunching at this restaurant close to every week. You always saved the corner table for me. Great food, wonderful staff and chef, and an atmosphere that is unmatched anywhere I've been in half a century. A small space where one could savor life for an hour or so. It must be so hard for all the staff that has cycled through this restaurant over the years; we wish all of you the strength to get through to the other side of this crazy time. Here's to a flute of sparkling rose, to the wonderful French Onion Soup, to six Bluepoint Oysters for my friend Stuie, or a Confit de Canard or roasted chicken with root vegetables if you are really hungry. Chef Hebert, hoping you and family are safe. Youen, Atman, Tatiana, Natalia, Chris, Samuel, Gamzai, Julian, Radda, Charlotte, Pobanna, Katia, Julia, Marguan, Eric, and the warm and smiling Nina-who I will never forget: thank you all for your service over the years, wishing you all the joy of a life well spent and hoping you are all getting through this with your finances intact. Thank you for some very fun times. Diners: If you are in NYC, think of throwing this restaurant some business. It is one worth preserving for when we come out the other side.

Dinner at Le Bateau Ivre is always an enjoyable experience. The food - classic French bistro fare - is always delicious, the wine is always great, and the ambiance is perfect. It’s like you’re transported from Manhattan to a tiny side street in Montmartre for the evening. I always recommend this restaurant for a lovely meal!

A really enjoyable dinner. Very authentic French bistro. Every dish was excellent and the service was attentive and friendly. The only negative was a very strong cooking smell from the kitchen which gave us an unwanted reminder of the evening afterwards. If they could give their ventilation some attention this place would be just about perfect. I would definitely return.

We have been dining here for about four or five years, but we upped our choices to the more expensive items on the menu and the specials. W always love our croque madame and their wonderful burger, but we discovered that the chef shines at the things like foie gras, filet mignon, and rack of lamb. The food is great. The wine list is wonderful. We rarely make it to dessert, because the first courses are so good.

While the food was quite good, but the service was rushed and somewhat cold. We were handed menus as soon as we sat down and before we had much of a chance to look at them, the waiter came by to take our orders. Halfway through the meal, rather loud music came on making it hard to talk. And after we finished eating, the waiter came by and asked us if he could bring us the check. He then stood by waiting until we paid it, which we did pretty promptly. What I resented was that he informed us at 8:30 that another party had booked our table for ten minutes later. Meanwhile no one was waiting and there were empty tables. While the food was good, the service could have been far warmer and more welcoming. That's not the case at Deux Amis, another French restaurant with equally good food very nearby.

The most amazing menu and wine list. Our server made it even more special. The smoked salmon was silky and had just the proper amount of smoke. The duck confit was impossibly difficult crisp and tender. The lamb chops were so flavorful. The caramelized strawberries were a contrast of sweet and sour over creamy ice cream. The wine was perfect. What a way to start a New Year. Love this restaurant

Le Bateau Ivre is a great place; perfect for my needs on Manhattan Island. My only suggestion is that diners learn about the hours that their Jazz Trio performs, as conversation can be difficult. I reserved a table for a family dinner. Everyone was exceedingly happy with steaks, salmon and duck plates. Earlier I had Onion Soup, which was perfect! This restaurant is immediately east of my preferred POD51 hotel, and is open 7am to 4am. The waiters are accommodating. I strongly recommend this restaurant!! In addition to being a great place to eat and drink, it is a touch of Dijon and Paris without leaving this island.
