About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Warmly elegant, Frenchette features a veteran kitchen serving a dining room that melds Old World glamour with New York energy. From breakfast through late-night, chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr make the most of their kitchen’s rotisserie and Robata grill with daily specials crowning a menu that features Duck Frites, Turbot for Two and Spit-Roasted Lobster, all approached with a lighter, more contemporary touch. Aperitif-based cocktails are served at the striking pewter bar and an impressive selection of natural wines is on offer.

    Food is good but avoid coming on a hot day -- even indoors, we were sweating like crazy.

    Food was very good. I enjoyed the fish soup very much. The fluke was poached and also very good. The dark meat of chicken roti was not cooked. It was a darker pink. I did not notice this until I got home and ate it there. I will ask for all white meat next time. That was very good. The chocolate mousse was exceptional.

    The food was excellent as was our server Vincent. The environment is nice, but the noise is deafening. Probably I will try lunch with friends next time so we can talk

    Wonderful service and great cocktail but I felt like the food fell flat. Extremely overpriced. Sadly, wouldn’t recommend or go back.
