    We love Cafe Cluny and have many great memories so we love to come back. It's never great when the host and server have zero warmth, but we didn't take it personally. The outdoor table was nice and we enjoyed the atmosphere and food, and still had a wonderful time.

    In a word, our experience was fabulous. The food was everything we hoped for, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect. On a comfortable May evening we would have taken outdoor seating if available, but the open doors brought the cool, fresh air inside and gave the whole cafe an al fresco feeling. We shared a grilled cheese and omelette, each of which came with ample and crispy fresh mixed greens, and for desert the clear winner was the doughnuts with a heavenly maple flavored dipping sauce. Cafe Cluny will be on our list for each trip back to NYC.

    Cluny burger, salad, profiteroles. What could be better on a summery Sunday evening? We ate outside, and the shed was lovely.

    The ambiance and food was good. But our waiter seemed angry, she was very abrupt, impatient and rude. It is not what you would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. Although I enjoyed the food and had a good time, I had to actively ignore the terrible service.

    different from the last time I was there 3 months a go, the food was uninspiring, service was mediocre and that combine to make the price quite high . As I was with my elder father visiting, I had asked for a place in the main room, and with no explanation/acknowledgment they placed us in the back room right next to a service station..not nice as well. As such I would not recommend it to a friend any longer.

    First disappointing experience there. They got my order wrong (and when they corrected the order, it was missing avocado—later charged for avocado which never arrived….but they corrected it on the bill) but they did comp me on the drinks. They were great with service recovery and apologized for the hiccups. I think this was a one off as other experiences were amazing

    Solidly delicious food. Could be a little more variety in the dinner menu. Specials were a treat, especially the fish appetizer, which was also proportioned generously.

    I love this place and it didn’t disappoint! Prices are on the high side but sitting outside on a beautiful spring day with delicious food and great service…it just can’t get much better! The only reason for the 4 instead of a 5 for service is that they initially served an omelette with the wrong fillings but fixed the problem immediately.

    Was excited to try out this spot after seeing it on the street previously and loving the ambiance. I was however disappointed in the flavor of the food for the cost. My chicken was saltless as was the Mac and cheese. Not sure if it was an off day- but was disappointed!

    I have always love your restaurant. I brought her friend from out of town yesterday and we both ordered omelettes for lunch. She ordered cheese and hers I did not. Halfway through the meal I realize that I was eating omelette with cheese and she had mine. Nobody had checked to ask who ordered what because the plates look identical. I have had problems with lactose intolerance in the past and wanted you to know this

    Met a friend I hadn't seen in awhile at Cafe Cluny. It's a gem of a restaurant located in my favorite part of the W. Village. The place is cozy (with indoor and outdoor seating), the food is great (get the fries no matter what) and the service was great (they didn't rush or hover over us). All around great experience and can't wait to return.

    The servers are super nice and attentive and the atmosphere is good. Drinks and food are very very small and overpriced. If you want to go for the environment, I’d recommend, but it will be a fortune for little food/ alcohol.
