   This is our regular hangout. I love that there is no menu. That way, we don't ever talk about the food - well, until dessert comes and then we talk about the dessert. They make outstanding desserts too. Our favorite since they opened in, what, 2009?

   I hosted a birthday celebration with 14 family members. The food was as good as we recalled from their home restaurant in Paris. Even our non meat eating son loved it. We had people from 10 yrs old to 74 yrs old, everyone had a great time and all loved the food.

   Not quite the same as l'Entrecote in Paris but a fair attempt.

   Steak was perfectly cooked. That delicious sauce was a bit grainy, perhaps held too long as we were the last patrons to leave for the night.

   A great place for dinner with great service and excellent food, especially the desserts. The interior of the restaurant is very nice, friendly and fresh. The have a good selection of drinks and deserts with prices that are reasonable and gives a lot of value for money. I can really recommend this place for business and pleasure.

   Rare to find a restaurant with such a limited menu thriving in NYC. They do steak frites and they do them well (done).

   This restaurant makes meetings a breeze since the menu is completely set and the only choice you're making is how you like your steak. Everyone I have introduced to this restaurant has loved their second portion of steak and fries because it's so unexpected. The salad is a nice start as well. Very classy and tasty spot for a quick lunch or a lovely dinner.

    Usually amazing food and service, but I just can’t believe how awful the service and food were tonight! Cold meat, old salad, and the sauce tasted different too. Even the bread was stale! I’m gonna give this the benefit of the doubt and say they had an off night bc they are usually amazing but damn was tonight off

    Wouldn't recommend unless strictly looking for a budget steak. The plastic-handled cutlery, waitresses in old stained french maid-style uniforms and an all-you-can-eat atmosphere.

    If you are satisfied without butter for your bread or ketchup for your fries this is the place for you. One Sauvignon Blanc in a French restaurant- seriously?! I guess I didn’t fully understand the implications of their “limited menu “.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. It only serves steak frites, but boy is it good. And they will give you seconds! But make sure you save room for dessert- the profiteroles match up to anything I have had in Paris.

    The place is charming, and the staff are very welcoming and competent. I've eaten there before and had wonderful experiences, however, yesterday the plat du jour was not available at lunch time. Highly disappointing! And for a French restaurant, not very authentic. The items we ordered from the menu were decent, but not outstanding. Great wine list, very nice ambience, staff accommodating and professional.

    Wonderful joint birthday dinner with a friend. Having been to the Paris location I was curious how this one would compare. Not quite as good, but pretty close. Recommend highly.

    I have been eating in versions of this steak frites restaurant since the early '70s in Toulouse France. It is tried and true. They have modified the salad dressing and the steak sauce slightly for American tastes but still love it and recommend it.

    The steak frites were fine but not amazing, which I was expecting from a restaurant that specializes in only one thing. The meat was good but the sauce was just ok. I liked the mustard on the table but my friends wanted butter with their bread - and they just don’t have it. There’s a fairly small wine list - although it’s not expensive. The service was strange. One woman was great - really friendly and engaging - but the others seemed irritated that we were there. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t go back.
