I came here with my friend for drinks and a late night bite around 8:30pm on a Monday. I had a glass of Chardonnay and the chicken liver pâte, which was served with a variety of pickles and a basket of bread. It was delicious! My friend got the truffle fries, which were also very good. The ambiance is very intimate and romantic (think dim red lighting). Many of the servers are French, too. read more

Amelie is a cute French spot in the west village. We went for brunch and ordered mussels, and a steak frites. The food was good, not life changing, but I enjoyed my mussels. The service was quick and they have lots of deals running for happy hour. I ordered a cocktail, but I think the wine my friend ordered was better. Wine is their strong suit and they have flights on their brunch menu. Overall, it was a cute spot. read more

Our greeter was, by far, the rudest and unfriendliest" person on the planet. The three of us were looking for a place to have an afternoon drink. We tried to sit at a table outside; it had two chairs, so we tried to add another. The person who greeted us literally yelled at us, "You can't sit here!" We remarked to ourselves, "What a jerk," and a large table of four next to us said, " Yes, he is." Avoid this place at all costs and go across the street to, "The Analog," instead. Sherin gets five stars! read more

This is one of my favorite places to casually drop in because of the atmosphere. It is very lively and the real candle lights create a great vibe at night. I've been to the upper west side location and I'd suggest that one for more of an intimate and romantic ambiance. I'd always suggest making a reservation since they do get pretty busy, but they've always had some availability when I've come here in a party under 4 people. The food here is really good and they have a great daily happy hour. Some of my favorite things here are the wine flights, mussels, escargot and burger. The wine flights are a great way to try multiple different wines. The white wine sauce for the mussels and the garlic/parsley butter and puff pastry on the escargot are also very good. I do love that many of the dishes like the mussels, goat cheese, and chicken liver mouse come with a good amount of bread. Their chicken liver mouse is very smooth and a generous helping. It comes with additional things on the side that really complete the dish. The burger is cooked exactly the way you like it and the fries are perfect and crisp. The Russian hill cocktail was surprisingly really sweet. The service is usually very attentive. They do get really busy and can vary depending on where you sit. But the food and drinks always come in a timely manner. I've been to their upper west side location and also had a really good experience there. I'd suggest that one for a more intimate and romantic experience. read more

I loved it here so much the first time, I had to bring another friend. We sat outside and ordered: - happy hour burger + glass of wine ($21): this was a really solid burger. Fries were thin and so easy to snack on. - happy hour flight of wine: I forgot which ones I got but they were great! Service was great! Everyone was attentive without hovering. I'll definitely keep taking my friends here. read more

The Manager was the rudest person I ever dealt with. It's a mere hole in the wall. I don't know if you he's serving at the WaldorfAstoria, but he's a real a/hole. Walk across the street at Analog they had the best service with the sweetest waitress named Sherin read more

Been to Amelie's on several occasions -- for brunch, for small bites & drinks -- and during various seasons. It's near my place, so that makes it convenient, but aside from that, it's an all-around reliable French bistro type of vibe, and the establishment has been accommodating when requesting substitutions and menu alterations. My only pain point is that it's a big on the cramped side, but that's a function of Manhattan spaces in general. Overall thumbs up. read more

I LOVED my experience here. The waiters were kind and thoughtful, the wine was delicious, and the food was amazing and well coursed out. We had the burger, steak frites, and chicken liver mousse. It's always a win when you're delivered a bag of bread. The lighting is dim, but perfect for a cozy night in. Highly recommend! read more

Good not great. That said, I'd definitely return. What was good: wine selection, cozy ambience on a summer night, delicious bread What was not great: weak cocktails, salty French onion soup, escargots (small serving without much garlic butter - which is arguably the best part of an order of escargots), Amelie salad (kind of blah) read more

Food: average; portions not proportionate to the price paid; served warm tap water Service: subpar; not attentive, had to flag staff down and the place wasn't busy Ambiance: ok, sure NYC has tight spacing, but it would be preferred if the staff would be mindful of this and seat guests at different areas of the restaurant rather than cramming different parties together in 1 corner of the place read more

The interior was a questionable French nautical theme but that was the only questionable part. Packed house on a Saturday evening and everything we ordered food-wise was absolutely delectable! Not a single miss. Extensive wine list and great service. They do accommodate parties larger than 4, just call in since it's not an option to do so online. Peeped the HH menu and there are some great deals there if you go by on any day that's not Saturday. read more

We stumbled upon this charming bistro after watching a show nearby. I was in the mood for some food while my dining party wanted some drinks and snacks, and this turned out to be the perfect spot for us. The duck breast was to die for; it was tender and flavorful, and the sweet summer corn was a nice touch. The chicken liver mousse was smooth and tasty, even for someone that isn't a big fan of chicken liver. The evening concluded with getting to know the owner, Olivier, and us walking away with one of the best French meals we had in the city! read more

Dimly lit restaurant with a good vibe for drinking and catching up with friends or a date. I was looking forward to charcuterie and wine since this came up as a place that had both. Looking around, most customers just had a glass of wine and no food. i dont like wine much but my partner does and said it was just ok. Peaches get Stitches - on the strong side. it was also just ok. 2.5/5 Tete de moine - You definitely need to take this in the small slices which is kinda fun to peel off the flowerlike shape. took a big chunk at first and it was really bad. after doing the petals, it's kinda nutty and strong but goes well with the bread and meat. I prob wouldnt get it again but was not bad. 2/5 Jamon Serano - on the dry and harder side. not that good. 2/5 Chorizo 100% Iberico - much softer and slight spice. not bad. 2.5/5 read more

Wait staff were kind and food was good. Atmosphere was ok, l would definitely go back.

Their Summer Restaurant week 3 course dinner menu runs until Sept. 9th! Music was at a good level and it wasn't super noisy. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was delicious! Not pictured is my Ginger Spritz mocktail which was just the way I like it...SUPER gingery! The ginger chew at the end made the cocktail perfect. With or without the restaurant week menu, we will be coming back here! read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, crowded and happy. The food was top notch bistro. I had a great time!

I think this place earns a 3.5 rating. While I thought the food was decent, I think the service here was lacking. It felt awkward and like we were intruding on something when we walked in. There were three separate people looking g up our reservation even though we said we were being helped then one of them accused us of not having a reservation after we were seated. It was a bit odd! The croque madam bites were good as well as the fried artichokes. The mussels and fries were okay. Personally, the mussels were a little too large for my taste but I thought the broth was delicious. read more

Amelie is a French wine bar with a few different locations. It's a place worth trying but I don't think I would go back. The things I loved were the Goat Cheese Ball, Baked Camembert, and gooey and delicious Chocolate Fondant Cake (aka chocolate lava cake). I was quite let down by the Ravioli (lacking flavor) and Brussels Sprouts (a bit too tangy). As far as wine selections go, I prefer a sweeter wine but they don't do much of that here, so the Prosecco was my choice. Service was a tad spotty because we had to chase the waiter down quite a bit, but I. Appreciated the happy hour deals and am thrilled with the dessert coming in to redeem my meal! read more

$14 wine flights, which consists of 3 glasses per flight, is a cheat code. Great happy hour pricing... I mean the flights were pretty mid but $14 for 3 glasses, how could I ever complain? To pair with our flights, we got the truffle fries because fries and wine combination is undefeated. Fellas, put a hinge prompt that your simple pleasures include "fries and wine" and watch the likes roll in. Free game. Amélie is about as French as a French restaurant gets. The waiter had a heavy French accent, the receipt came in a book written in French, fries were BOMB, plates of escargots flying in and out of the kitchen, and the service was meh. My big bro also went on the first date with his wife here the other night, so this place is pretty special. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

We popped in on the spot while walking round the Village and we weren't disappointed. It was. a beautiful day so we sat outside. The staff was very friendly and willing to accommodate us without a reservation. We had: - Truffle Fries - delicious and crispy - Tuna Tar Tare - very fresh and good - Onion Soup - very good - Croque Monsieur - very good Overall we had a great meal. read more

It's a cool place to go to. - very different vibe from the one on the Upper West Side. We did like their food but we were the last ones in there so I don't think we got the greatest foods...meaning it wasn't very hot... Mussels and more...the wine was lovely...it's a very hip place for sure...very French. read more

Brought my dad here for father's day! He wanted french cuisine, which isn't our typical go-to. It was surprisingly easy to make a reservation (note they do charge you a $20 no show fee per person or if u cancel without giving 1 hour's notice!) You have the option of sitting inside or outside, though some of the tables outside are a bit wonky / slanted. The service was nice and attentive, and we were able to get extra bread throughout the evening (which was super delicious!) We got three appetizers (including a salad), and I highly recommend the beef tartare. It was delicious and well flavored. We also got three mains to share. I was bummed they didn't have the duck leg confit special, which many people have raved about, I think the favorite of the table of what we ordered were the steamed mussels and PRO TIP the leek and mussels broth at the bottom is delicious and makes for an amazing broth to dip the bread into!! I was underwhelmed by the chicken leg cooked in red wine entree, as well as the hanger steak (although the french fries on the side were delicious). It was nice to try and this spot seems to be a staple in the village, but I'm not sure I would go again just given some of the entree misses and the fact that it was fairly pricey (about $50 per person at the end). read more

Overall: Amelie always comes up as a top Yelp recommendation - I was excited to try it. The food was good but not spectacular. The wine and atmosphere were great. It's definitely a place I would come back to for their happy hour, but there are other food options nearby that I'd try before doing dinner again. Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 3.5 Atmosphere: 5 Food: We tried the seared octopus appetizer, the Coq au vin, and the Ravioles du Royans. The octopus was a little tough, though came as a good portion size for the appetizer. The coq au vin had a delicious sauce with it and the chicken was tender. The ravioli had good flavor, though I might add the truffle next time. Drinks: Drinks are where Amelie shined. The wine selection was pretty broad and reasonably priced. We had a chilled red that we both enjoyed. Service: The staff was attentive and helpful when asked. They didn't do anything to put it over the top, but we had a good experience. Value: I thought the drinks were very reasonable, though they lacked some options on the cheaper end. Some of the food options seemed slightly overpriced for what they are, but they weren't wildly out of place for NYC. Atmosphere: This was a great place for a date. It was lively and had a fun atmosphere without being too loud - you could still hear each other talk. The tables were a little close together but overall this was a fun place for a Friday night. read more

Food was good but quite expensive. Charged $6 per water. Wasn't sure if free bread was provided for each meal, and turns out it was not.

I came back with my friend to try out the normal menu and ordered the orange wine flight. They were out of one of the wines but instead of giving me the option of another wine they just tried to get me two of the same. The wines weren't great but it was a good price. We shared the Brussel sprouts (9/10 nice and crispy!) and she ordered the burger with truffle fries (8/10 for the fries I've had better truffle fries). I got the moules which had a delicious sauce but not all of the mussels were opened which was unfortunate. Still a cute restaurant but the staff always seem to be a little less than friendly. read more

We had the restaurant week dinner. $45 is generous for the meal. I started with tuna tartar that had other components to give it balance. My spouse had the escargot in butter garlic sauce that she enjoyed. We both had beef bourgenoin with a nice wine reduction, mushrooms, oner mashed potatoes. Perfect for this cold winter night. We paired it with a Bordeaux from the Graves region. Hearty enough to stand up to the entree. Then I finished with chocolate mousse and she had flan. A great meal backed by flawless service. read more

Unfortunately this was my favorite restaurant. I had recently only come with enough cash to cover myself and tip. The guests that had joined me hated the meal and decided not to tip, which is do think is incredibly rude. But I tipped the $12 (I only had gotten one dish so it's appropriate for my portion) and genuinely did not have enough money to cover their portion of the tip. I went to the bathroom and the waiter chased me down to ask me why I didn't tip more and reprimand me saying that each table tips an average of $40-$60. The worst thing is that I was fairly regular here and tipped more than fair in the past. Haven't eaten here since. :( At the end of the day, a tip is optional , and no one deserves to be questioned or interrogated. Especially since a tip was indeed left, even if small. Classist and rude. read more

Amélie -- Where Paris Meets New York There's a certain charm only a true bistro can capture -- that effortless blend of warmth, imperfection, and life. Amélie is precisely that. It doesn't try to impress; it simply exists. The evening began with a glass of Chablis -- crisp, mineral, beautifully chilled. The kind of wine that reminds you why Burgundy remains forever unmatched. Then came the chicken liver pâté: smooth, velvety, with just a hint of sweetness. Followed by octopus carpaccio -- light, elegant, reminiscent of a seaside café in Nice. The service is typically Parisian -- discreet, slightly detached, yet oddly comforting. This isn't a place for perfection; it's a place for authenticity, quiet pleasure, and moments that feel real. As I sat there, I realized -- this city and this place share something essential: they both make you feel alive. Amélie is not just a bistro. It's a state of mind. read more

We have been here twice and loved each time! Perfect if you want to have a nice date night or fun catch up with friends. We haven't tried the meals but certainly enjoyed the small bites (beef tartar) and wine selection (flights: Jules, Yaris). Would recommend taking advantage of happy hour specials if you can, but even if you don't I'm sure you will have a great time! Food and drinks come out fast and the vibes are very nice. Great ambience indoor or outdoor, highly recommend. read more

I was really looking forward to going to Amelie because it had been on my list for a while, but I wasn't impressed. I ordered the Matthieu flight (named for my server) with the orange wines. None of the three were that great. They tasted average/cheap. The flavors lacked complexity. They just didn't hit. I also ordered the escargot. This was my first time trying snails. They were okay. I had looked at photos of the appetizer on Yelp, and from the photos I thought that there would be a lot more sauce for dipping bread into--but there really wasn't extra sauce The dipping bread was good but they didn't give any oil or butter with it. My friend got a glass of red wine, it was a large glass and heavy pour so I'd recommend that over a flight. She also got a salad and asked for grilled salmon and the waiter repeated that back. Yet, the salad came with smoked salmon (lox) and then they said that they couldn't change it. It was also restaurant week but I didn't like the entree options: raviolis, branzino, or an extra $8 for steak? Lackluster. We sat outside which was okay. Nothing special. read more
