It’s a very small space so the tables placed in the middle are on top of each other AND in everyone’s way. I got bumped over & over by servers & other diners. Would not go again.

Another shoehorn restaurant. A table for two was more like a table for 1 1/2. Where my partner should have sat (across from me) was an ice bucket. Yes I get it, operating expenses are high in NYC. But the place was packed as was the outdoor seating. And prices edged into exorbitant territory. I’m sorry, an establishment that reeks of greed is a turnoff, in spite of the decent service and food.

It was nice. I sat outside. The tables were very close together so the party of 4 who was very loud next to my table was a bit annoying at times. Just wish the tables were a bit more spaced out outside.

Cafe Cluny is a long time favorite. It can get a little too overcrowded on weekends so I felt a bit crowded at the table but the food is reliable, the fries outstanding and the sticky toffee pudding is addictive.

I had such a wonderful night at Cafe Cluny to myself. I celebrated my birthday with a delicious cocktail and even better dessert and my server Jillian made me feel very welcome and special. I will be returning with a friend soon and look forward to enjoying a full meal.

Good about gluten free and asking the kitchen. Service was actually a little too fast, we were completely done in under 45 minutes but they didn’t rush us out if there. Waitress was friendly and helpful

Hostess seems to be annoyed easily with basic requests like asking for a table when there are OpenTable slots available, live. Or for requests to be seated at a specific table location. The attitude alone has made me feel think twice about Cafe Cluny for the next time.

I don’t leave negative reviews often… but Cluny was disappointing:( I ordered onion soup which was Ok, nothing spectacular. But their burger was the driest and tasteless I’ve ever had. I regretted I didn’t get the same thing from a way cheaper place. Also, in their menu burger comes with fries or salad. But when I got my bill…they tried to charge fries separately as a side dish… no comments. There were a way too many waiters that they just kept staying next to your table waiting to pick up your dishes.. Definitely won’t be back!

Adorably cute place, wonderfully located and with friendly and welcoming staff. The downsides are that it’s crowded, noisy and very pricey.
