Walked in for dinner. The waiter tried to push sparkling water and we said flat was fine. Then waiter disappeared for a while. We had a chance to look over the menu and two in our party couldn't find anything that made them happy so we politely left. The waiter shouted "get the f*** out of here." Sorry buddy. That's just rude. Had a great meal across the street at the Cuban place.
came here on a friday evening around 9p with a date of sorts. we were down in the basement where there were lots of cute little private couches, all of them full, so we sat at the bar. the drinks were great, and the bartender was attentive. we shared some truffle fries and they were a good choice as we were starting to get pretty tipsy. hah. the bartender hooked us up with a few mixed shots that were also delicious, although i'm not too sure what was in them. dim lighting, quiet, lowkey great spot for a few drinks with a date.
Go on Wednesday for Couscus. It's quite excellent.
Duvel was properly poured and it was in the proper type of glass (Tulip.) Props to the waitress.
The beer is also rather inexpensive. I think Chimay Blu/Grand Cru was only 10 and Red/Premiere was only 9 which is way lower than most fancier places in New York, usually 12 for the former and 10 for the later.
Went here with 2 others, nice waiter. For the food, they were bit pricier than I would like.
The drinks were fine (1 beer [duvel], and 2 glasses of wine.) Average pour.
Others had French Onion Soup as well as the special of the day (Carrot Ginger)
Him: French Onion broth was fine, onions could have been a bit more mushy and the cheese could have been a bit saltier. Otherwise, excellent. 3.9
Her: Carrot Ginger: I'm never a fan of this but I tried it. It was fine as it is. No rating as I don't like it.
Mains:
Me: Special of the day: Couscous Royal (with Merguez (spiced Moroccan Lamb/Beef Sausage,) duck, a little little bit of chicken, and a lot of veggies. It was served with a broth as well as Harissa (a red-pepper based spice)
Excellent Couscous. Frankly, one of the best I have had. 4.7
Merguez: Had the proper flavor. 3.6
Veggies: Cooked till tended, 3.3
Single piece of flavorful-ish chicken 2.0
Him: Had some form of roasted fish, didn't try much but it was fine.
Her: some light salad, had some of the apples for kicks.
For once, I am barely reviewing anything as I wasn't super hungry. The duvel helped though and the couscous was properly made.
Go on Wednesday for Couscus. Otherwise, I might skip this place.

There were some mixed reviews, but I took a gamble!
My girlfriends and I were meeting for dinner. This wasn't our first choice, but there was a reservation available at 8, and I had been here for drinks once before. The dinner menu looked decent, so we gave it a go!
Everything was really satisfying. We shared the cheese board, the crab cakes, the artichoke appetizer, and the kale salad.
That was a lot of food to start with, so between the three of us we had two entrees: salmon and short ribs. I wasn't interested in the salmon, but the short ribs were delicious! I especially loved the mashed potatoes and the brussels sprout mix that came with it. (One of my friends didn't really enjoy the smoky flavor, but I did!)
We each had a drink as well. I had this bourbon and blackberry concoction. It was refreshing and well-balanced.
The desserts didn't really grab our fancy, so we skipped out on that part of the meal.
Service was good. Ambiance is nice. I love coming to this part of the city on a warm summer night. We walked around NoLita and SoHo after dinner and it was superb. I'm a fan.
Cute place, realy nice bartender/server, nice option for outdoor seating/people watching, on point escargot, nice 'Way of the Dragon' and 'Jacques 1534' drinks, nice menu, good prices for the area. I hope to return to make it through more of the menu, and hopefully raise my star-rating on the review. However, the bathroom is way too dark and dingy for my liking, and my drinking companion was stuck by the broken wicker chair…..a happening by which the server/bartender didn't seem too surprised.
Got the lemon dark chocolate and a passion fruit chocolate. Lemon one was good but passion fruit was super awesome!!!
Lovely French bistro on Prince Street with friendly staff and delicious food. Try the Escargot to start with a glass of the Sparkling Rose wine. And no matter what entrée you order (though I highly recommend the Parpadelle with Mushrooms), you need to get a side of the Truffle Fries. And leave room for dessert…the Apple Tart and Crepe Suzette were winners at my table!
With all the great options in the area, I'm surprised that a restaurant with such a low quality can exist
We had the portobello sandwich which was ok. Simple and well made.
I also had the poached eggs with salmon which were pretty horrendous; the salad was bad, the dressing too strong and not appropriately put. The eggs were overdone and the salmon wasn't very fresh.
I went inside wo checking my yelp because the area always delivers. This was my first bad experience
