Good place, good food, friendly staff. I choose this place based on items offered that were less expensive than some surrounding French restaurants and I was not disappointed. Very happy with the food, waitstaff was friendly didn't rush us until towards the end of our meal, but that was because it was getting busy so I found that normal. And we had been there awhile, but there was plenty of time between our appetizers and entrees to enjoy at a comfortable pace.

Waiter messed up order a number of times. Ordered soup/appetizers and never came. Entrees we’re missing aspects of the described menu and incomplete. Nothing really done about either. Just shluffed it off. So we ended up not getting what we ordered and what we did get was not as described/expected.

This place is perfect for a cozy date wine and cheese date night. The entrees we ordered were not as good as our cheese board. GET THE BRIE. The ambiance and service make this place an absolute winner.

I've eaten at AOC several times and sent friends there. Very limited bistro menu, but delicious, and the wine pairings are primo. It's a very casual setting, so not for first date outings or anniversaries and the like, but just the thing for friends having a good meal together. Waitstaff is friendly and accommodating, but I'll save my top rating for more formal settings. I'll be back!

We were craving escargot—while they are not on the brunch menu, there was no problem ordering. So so good—possibly the best in NYC. Beef and oyster sliders were superb, as were the mussels and the spicy lamb sausage and poached eggs. We will return—a great find.

I’ve been to AOC many times and really enjoyed it. This Friday night was disappointing. We had a reservation for party of 6, came for the atmosphere and live music but were seated outside. It was a very cold night and despite the heat lamps, we were freezing. Service was slow, we had to go inside to get our server a few times. The food was good, but more mix-ups with the specials and the check at the end of the night.

The ONLY thing I am sharing is despite an overall great experience, the servers didn't wear masks and no vaccine check which I didn't like but needed to get out.
