Really liked the menu at this corner French spot, and my croque madame was fabulous, but the service was a little inattentive. Water glasses remained empty for prolonged periods.
It is literally a corner bistro, and they had nice outdoor seating on a very pleasant UES block.
For the $21.95 Price Fixe I got
-Duck pate (good)
-Kale caesar salad – way better than you'd expect it to be
Came here for dinner last weekend.
Atmosphere: Really cute, but tiny bar downstairs, no real waiting area, so that sucks in the winter. Lots of small 2 and 4 top tables. Upstairs is a bit bigger with more tables. Very cute inside.
Service: Great service, the waiter was very knowledgable.
Wine list: robust and fairly reasonable.
Food:
Had the Salad Nicoise –awesome, delicious Yellowfin Tuna.
We also had some shrimp dish, that was very tasty.
For dessert we had a flour-less chlorate cake –YUMMMMMMY
Over all awesome meal. Would recommend for a date, or a small group of friends.
Make sure you make a reservation –it was packed!
Coming from the Print Fair at the Armory, we were looking for a nice place for some late brunching. This place looks nice from the outside and is even cuter from the inside. If you can you need to go and sit upstairs. Its great. the menu is the typical french restaurant menu. The have a fixed price brunch for $20, which is nice, but not great. Still, the food is decent, the staff is nice and the location is great.
I had the onion soup & burger. Sat out side. It would have been 5 star review if not for the price. With a few beers, 2 of us came to $140 including tax & tip. A little pricy. But the food, atmosphere & service was great.
On my hunt for crudites, I went to this place for lunch. It was nice to have a table outdoor.
Panier de Crudites et son anchoiade: seasonal vegetables basket big enough for 2 (baby tomatoes, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, endive, fennel, green beans, radish) served with a warm anchovy dipping oil. The vegetables are served on a large basket. The anchovy dip is amazing, the best I ever had.
Saumon Grille du Pacifique, Sauce Vierge, Ratatouille Nicoise: I wanted to try this since I rarely find Pacific salmon on menus. I asked for medium but it was overcooked. It was too dry, I couldn't finish it. The ratatouille was fine.
Profiteroles: three piece of choux served with caramel ice cream and a chocolate sauce on the side. The choux are crispy.
The crudites would be plenty enough for a meal if not shared. The salmon was too much as it was too cooked, and then I had dessert. They automatically charge for gratuity on the bill.
In life, it is important to celebrate every victory, large or small. Because of this, my sister and I threw my dad a special brunch bash at Casimir & Co last weekend. For some reason, just about every other place we tried to get a reservation at on the UES and UWS was booked solid, but I'm glad this led us to check out a new place. Apparently, my dad had wanted to check this little bistro out for a little while, and I had always intended (but never made it) to try the original location in the East Village.
There was something for everyone on the menu–those who craved the charcuterie platters they frequently dined on when they lived in France for almost a decade (my dad), those who really wanted some undercooked meat (me with my salmon carpaccio and Mike with his steak tartar), and the gluten-free contingent (my mom and sister). Everything was superb, as was the crusty bread we were given at the beginning of the meal.
The restaurant itself did not look like your standard, posh East 70's haunt a la Swifty's or the like. It had the vibe like it would be better suited for a younger neighborhood, but this is by no means a complaint. I would love to come back in the evening for dinner. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Even the other patrons told us they had admired the bouquet of balloon flowers that sat on our table (Mike and I have friends who are "balloonatics") and heartily wished my dad a "happy birthday!" Was it my dad's birthday? No, but it was a joyful occasion nonetheless and the restaurant provided a festive atmosphere.
Food was pretty dam good I'm not going to lie we had a delicious meal. Part of the whole dining experience is the service and I guess it'd be stereotypical to say that our French server was rude but she was! We ordered drinks and she rushed us to order everything else, isn't a thing if your menus are still open looking you might not be ready yet! When we finally ordered I asked what the Soup du jour was and proceeded to order the Onion soup which she must not have heard! When the food came out with the servers I told him that the soup was wrong because he brought the soup du jour out, so he returned to the back with it! 2 min later our waitress returns with the soup and says this is what you ordered. Which it very clearly was not the French Onion Soup! She then brings the right soup out and is never to be seen again! She made it an appoint to ignore us the rest of the time we were there! I guess the French are more rude then New Yorkers!
