So I came here with my company for dinner and I thought it was absolutely Delicious. I cant remember our waiters name but he was so pleasant. The staff did a great job of clearing out our used dishes and their apple cider sangria is awesome. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to wine and dine someone else,
We needed a place to eat prior to seeing a show. My wife went to Yelp and looked for the best reviewed restaurant in the area and this was it. The restaurant looks like an upscale bistro. Service was fantastic and the food was delicious. From the bar, I had a cherry Manhattan that was great. I started dinner with the escargot and then moules frites. They were both fantastic. My wife had the Moroccan cauliflower and the tagliatelle. She loved the cauliflower but the sauce for the tagliatelle needed some more flavor. A little salt helped. We ended with a rhubarb tart for dessert with a candle for our anniversary. The waiter had overheard us talking and went the extra mile.
When we are in the area again, we will be back.
Marseille was suggested by a friend when we made plans to do a double date brunch in NYC together. She said she had been there couple of times and absolutely loved it. One look at Yelp and I said YES.
Conveniently located, the atmosphere is super nice. I am glad she made a reservation cause the place was packed. We got seated right away without a problem.
Our choice of drink around the table was Kir Royale and Espresso Martini. Both different but very good. If you are looking for something bubbly and sweet get the Kir Royale. If you are a fan of coffee I highly recommend the Martini.
For appetizer we shared the Burgundy Snail, super buttery and garlicky topped with bread crumb. As good as the snail was I really wished they served bread on the side. Although they served a plate of delicious bread (cranberry bread and mini-muffins) they really could not be eaten with the escargot.
Our Entree of choice were Pork Belly Madame and the Moroccan Shakshuka. The hubby got the Pork Belly so I really cannot comment much on that but he seemed to really enjoyed it. The Shakshuka was amazing, really different from any other brunch item I have ever had. The eggs were perfectly poached in the delicious tomato sauce, the yolk immediately started running once I put my fork into it. The basil ricotta topping was heavenly and just took the dish to another level.
For dessert we got the Creme Brulee. I am huge fan of Creme Brulees in general but I thought it was just OK. After the amazing drinks and meal I really expected more from the dessert.
The service was great, we never felt rushed (we were there for almost 2 hours) and the waiter was very attentive and communicative.
Just wanted to leave a tip. Make sure the menu inside matches the one outside. We were fooled. Not one item outside matched inside. I'm sure they change menus all the time but don't update it so we know what we're going in to!
Sat at the bar for some drinks and per a friends reco got the espresso martini, omg this was a delicious martini, perfectly crafted and filled to the brim.
We also ordered some pomme frites to snack on. These came out piping hot and crisp, do ask for a side of the garlic mayo to dip them in!!
Our server was super friendly and fun and even capped off our night with some complimentary tequila shots, can't beat that! 😉
Touristy, expensive and overrated. There isn't anything french here, but there is a premium charged for claiming to be French. Ordered the pork belly and it was dry (aka overcooked) and without any taste. The steak was also dry and not tender enough. The duck breast was pretty bland and definitely did not had a french touch. The deserts were also pretty disappointing. The wine list was extensive and expensive. Overall I would say because it is located on Hells Kitchen it is a tourist trap. I would not come here expecting a French meal and I would never expect to have to pay this much for such an average-to-bad meal.
Quick stop for coffee and desserts. Chocolate brioche w salted caramel and warm almond fig cake with brown sugar ice cream. Very well done
The bouillabaisse here is pretty good. This is a three and a half star kind of place, but I'm rounding up because I really like the vibe and decor. Steak Frites here are pretty good – it's a steak frites so you're not going to be AMAZED, but it is well executed. Desserts are also pretty tasty.
