Food was excellent. I enjoyed grilled bronzino and my wife had the pork porterhouse as her entree. My heritage tomato salad was one of the best tomato salads I’ve ever had and my wife enjoyed the French onion soup. We ordered the carmalized creamed corn and mashed potatoes as sides—both were quite tasty. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse (very good) and my wife enjoyed the raspberry sorbet with compote. Service was efficient, courteous and friendly but not overbearing. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Awesome environment. Incredible and attentive hosts. Our server was very distracted with 2 large parties. Part of our order was completely missed, dishes came at odd times. We never received a check in and another terrific server followed up with us and brought us the bill. Not a disaster but wish the server could have been more attentive.

Excellent food and service staff. The one exception is that it has been now the second time we have had reservations, and we get sat 15-30 min after the reservation. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode on "Why have a reservation at a selected time at all?". For those with schedules, be very careful about the timing.

My wife & I went for our 25th wedding anniversary and while they weren’t aware of our special occasion, we were treated as if they knew. Exceptional experience throughout! Escargot, then Moroccan Fried Chicken are a must try!

Menu was interesting but execution was inconsistent. Onion Soup was served cool and had to be returned. Whole artichoke is a great item but was insufficiently cooked. Spouse’s corn crème brûlée was perfect.

We had a lovely brunch at Quality Bistro with friends visiting from out of town. The service was excellent, the interiors of the venue enchanting & food delicious. The approach to plating of the dishes was also lovely, without being ostentatious. We’re looking forward to returning to Quality again!

Food, scenery, and customer service were all 5 star quality. Took my fiancé for her birthday and we had an amazing time. The servers were very personable and accommodating. The menus can be slightly confusing but they walk you through everything. For the starter BUTTER SERVICE GARNI , they season it in front of you with a break down of all the ingredients.Steak was perfectly cooked, and the dessert was the icing on it all. Highly recommend for special occasions !!

We came for my fiancé’s birthday and they pulled out all the stops! We were greeted with a personalized card and champagne. Then when we ordered our food our server gave us an extra appetizer, side with our meal, and a birthday dessert! The food was delicious and the service was incredible. They made the night so special for us and will definitely come back for other celebrations in the future.

This restaurant is gorgeous. I loved the little details like the embroidering on the linen napkins and tablecloths, the bird toilet paper holder fixtures, and the bergamot hand soap and lotion. The food was excellent. We got the pour deux dishes consisting of Moroccan fried chicken and the chateaubriand. You definitely need to try this place if you're in NYC.

It was amazing! The food was all so good! The cheese bread and the filet mignon for two were the highlights, but everything we tried (the steak carpaccio, tuna tartare, truffle Mac, brussel sprouts, and the Brie sticks that came with the steak) were all fantastic.

We were a large party with lots of big personalities. Families meeting for the first time. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. The corn crème brûlée is something I’m going to think about for a long time. Steaks were perfect. The butter for the table blew us all away. They even had gluten free bread for the non gluten people. Drinks were Really good too. Deserts were raves about and passed around. We will be back.

First time at one of these "Quality" places. Came for brunch with the family. Our main server was very rude and unwelcoming. Very cold approach to serving us so my rating is driven by his service. Food was good and ambiance was nice.

Everything absolutely delicious as always. Cream cheese board ALMOST as good as the butter board. Caesar salad and French onion soup were some of the best I’ve ever had; Caesar I think is the best I’ve ever had. The salted caramel gâteau was an a+ for presentation and taste. Service as always was generous and attentive.

This was my second time hosting a client dinner at Quality Bistro. It’s a great place. One word SOLID. Very good food, good service and beautiful setting. Would highly recommend. The Strip Steak Frites is superb (pro tip, order it sliced and of course medium rare). For appetizers and sides I liked the Tarte Flambee and their special corn crème brulee. This second time we sat on the west side room up the half stairs (not the middle room) which I found had better noise level and it was easy to have conversations. I have read other reviews with many people commenting on the high prices, I would just say, yes! it’s a midtown place and NY is expensive but its similarly priced to all other places in the area striving for this quality, but I like Quality Bistro much better and would highly recommend it.

Wonderful time at Quality Bistro, food was very yummy, service was very fast and good and the ambience was lovely for a Friday evening. Noise level is minimal allowing you and your guests to have a conversation without having to shout from the other side. Outdoors is last option as the inside is really beautiful, big and cozy.
