  1. Pros: croque madame was delicious (bread was crunchy and cheesy, side salad was light and refreshing), berry waffles were sublime (that chocolate mousse is not kidding around), decor is cute
    Cons: hot chocolate only offered in winter time 🙁

  2. Great cafe for decent espressos and lattes! They have a great perch to sit outside and soak in the warm temperatures!

  3. Went for brunch. I had the duck confit hash, which was delicious. The big windows give the small restaurant an open ambiance. My one complaint is that we were seated at the chef's counter despite our opentable reservation, which was not marked upon our arrival, leafing me to receive a "no-show" email from open table.

  4. Came here for dinner tonight and was beyond impressed by this little place! The restaurant is super cozy and perfect for dinner after work. We ordered the pear salad and mussels to share, plenty for two people. The mussels were out of this world! Don't skip them. We left barely a drop. Will most certainly be coming back (next time I'd like to try brunch)!

  5. I like the decor and spaciousness of this place, but thought the brunch food was only average. I got soft scrambled eggs and they were extremely salty. They were also out of bacon. I've said it before, but I really do not understand how a restaurant can be out of something when there are a million grocery stores around–especially bacon on a Sunday?!?!

  6. A year later I came here again, it's now Dominique Bistro. Food is fantastic and the service is the best, we sat at the bar and the bartender Antony was one of the best bartender I have encountered in New York. He was attentive , funny and friendly. We had really good service.
    As the bread monster I am, the bread is great and let alone the food!

    The atmosphere was intimate but also great for friends to catch up.

    Highly recommend and I will definitely come back again.

  7. The cutest, quaintest little French bistro in the West Village. There is an upstairs and downstairs dining room. Our large party of 14 was sitting in the downstairs dining room. The food was fresh and tasty, everyone in our party seemed pleased with their entrees. I ordered the "Basic" breakfast entree, which came with three soft scrambled eggs and prosciutto di parma. Just the right portion and perfectly scrambled eggs. The coffee was strong and good, though getting a refill or second cup seemed a bit difficult. I had to ask a few times.

    The staff including our server Yaz were very accommodating. Our brunch was surprisingly affordable too. Definitely check out Dominique Bistro if you're in the area.

  8. We stopped in for dinner at Dominique based off my sister's recommendation.  After an entire day of eating and enjoying the culinary delights that NYC has to offer, we decided to try a variety of plates at Dominique and share it tapas style.

    Everything was delicious, but here's the breakdown of what we ordered:
    – Salmon: perfectly seared on the outside with a lovely, crunchy crust but with a buttery and melt-in-your-mouth texture in the inside. My personal favorite of the night.
    – Truffle Risotto: truffles + Risotto? Uh, yes please! Buttery, rich, and delicious – would absolutely recommend.
    – Baked Camembert: this wheel of cheese was served with crusty bread and some nuts and raisins, charcuterie style. The gooey cheese was perfect and everyone at the table loved it.
    – Scallops: served over a bed of potatoes and bacon chunks. I only had a little so can't really comment on it, but others at the table loved it.
    – Truffle pasta: I can't remember what it was called on the menu but it was absolutely delicious and served in a rich, decadent sauce.

    The food was extremely impressive and definitely a 5/5. Our waiter was nice and friendly but also seemed very distracted that night and took a long time to get our orders and check in on us, which is the only thing stopping me from giving this place a full 5 star rating.

    OVERALL: 4/5.  The food is absolutely delicious and the ambience is great – an excellent spot to hang out for casual dinner with friends or bring a date.  Would definitely recommend!
