    Food was good nothing too crazy I love the ambience staff was nice definitely a hidden gem

    Super intimate spot (no wonder it took forever to get a reservation lol) that transports you right to Paris. They offer plenty of martinis and the honey truffle baguette is definitely a standout. I honestly expected the steak frites to be a little better than it was, but it was still a really solid meal. If you're a matchbook collector, they have them at the host stand!

    We were so excited to be able to try this spot! Our reservation was at 4:30pm on a Sunday. We booked the reservation a week before and it's either 4:30 or after 8pm. Here's my very long review: Food: My boyfriend found the spot because... he saw a review that their burger is awesome here. I know, I know... a French spot and we're here to try their burger LOL. But to be honest though, their burger is EXCELLENT! We asked for medium rare burger steak and it came out so perfect and so seasoned! I know it's a little unconventional to order a cheeseburger in a French spot, but you really have to! For appetizer, we had the honey truffle baguette. It was very well made and the saltiness of the truffle mixed with the honey and well baked baguette. To me, 1 is more than enough. The second one indeed felt like a lot of flavors already. Moving on to the next course, the cheeseburger. I already mentioned how amazing the burger is at the beginning of the review. Next, we had the linguine of the day - and by the way I have to mention, it was recommended by an old couple who just finished their meal, we knew we had to try it. I would like to trust my own judgement and I believe the clam was fresh because I tasted the freshness and the taste of a clam. Overall, it was such a treat! Last but not least, the profiteroles. We saw the old couple that I mentioned earlier ordered this dessert. I heard there's vanilla ice cream and my boyfriend love chocolate. We both knew we had to order that. It was AH-MAZING!!! We wish we can have more. The amount of dark chocolate sauce they poured was a lot and this probably THE best chocolate sauce we ever had (we are both dark chocolate people). Ambiance: The restaurant is very small in size which makes the whole experience so intimate. And once the sun started to set, they close all the curtains and it made our date more romantic. I also saw a few pairs of couples coming on a date. Service: We love our server - I think her name's Sarah?. She checked in with us once a while and she understood the menu very well and she was able to explain the dishes that were served to us. We have a great time overall and we are definitely coming back!

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I came in with my friend for lunch, and we were seated right away at our reserved table. This cute little restaurant is very tiny, so making a reservation is a must. We tried the Gin du Moulin as our cocktail of choice, and it was not only pretty but very tasty. I only wish it was bigger, the cup did seem small for a $20 drink, but didn't really mind it too much. For our meal we had the famous cheeseburger and shared a side of truffle fries. Excuse me!!! Why was this the best burger I had ever had in my life? So juicy and flavorful, I absolutely loved it. The fries were very good as well and a generous portion. The service was fantastic, our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. I would 100% come back.

    French onion soup
    Tamera B.

    I wanted to love Bar Sardine so bad, but honestly....I was a bit underwhelmed! I've had Bar Sardine in my must visit list for a while. It looks so quaint, has a lot of hype, and I love a good French bistro. So....I had some spare time and made a lunch reservation for one a few days prior. I was looking forward to it! On arrival, I love the cozy French bistro vibes and my server was very nice and welcoming. I started with a delicious house-made strawberry lemonade and French onion soup. The soup was the first let down. The broth was very bland and didn't have the rich caramelized onion flavor that makes French onion soup so delicious. This was disheartening being that Bar Sardine is a chef-led French bistro and not just a random cafe that happens to have French onion soup on the menu. Next, I had the Croque Americane and Frites Diane. Although my server was super sweet, timing for the soup and entree wasn't great, so the sandwich and fries came out just a couple minutes after the soup. It ultimately worked out since I didn't enjoy the soup and only had 2-3 bites. The presentation of the dishes was wonderful, everything looked delicious, but the fries and sandwich were both lukewarm/room temp at best. Not sure how that happened, but it made for not a great meal. The Fries Diane sounded great, but there wasn't much gravy on them. The gravy was the best part, but just barely there as you can see in the pic. The sandwich was pretty good, but again lukewarm at best. Which makes a grilled cheese not very enjoyable. My issues seem like things that can be rectified easily....except for the lackluster French onion soup. So, I would possibly give Bar Sardine another chance, if I happen to be in the area, but I can't see myself intentionally making a beeline for Bar Sardine again like I did for this first visit.

    Brasserie Salade and Bucatini Au Citron
    Karisa A.

    Chic French brasserie vibes with standout drinks and bites! Finally snagged a reservation at Bar Sardine--and it was worth the wait! The Parisian ambiance makes it perfect for date night, and the service was warm and attentive. I started with the Fluffy Margarita--refreshing and strong. For apps, we shared the Truffle Fries with aioli (crispy and addictive) and the Honey Truffle Brie Baguette--soft, sweet, and full of truffle flavor! For mains, we split the Brasserie Salade (fresh with a spicy kick) and Bucatini Au Citron--light, lemony, and delicious. TL;DR: Dreamy Parisian vibes, great cocktails, and delicious bites. A must for date night or a stylish night out!

    French fries

    My girlfriend was living about this place and I finally tried it with her and oh my gosh, it was so good. I love the atmosphere. It's a small restaurant and the service was great. I got the French toast. Oh my gosh, so good and we also got french fries to share. I would definitely recommend this place and come back.

    The service here is great, the dirty martini is ice cold, burgers are a bit rare but still delicious! It's a small place but I recommend it!

    Bar Sardine is a great addition to the area! It's a smaller restaurant so it's difficult to secure a reservation as tables are limited. The ambiance is cozy, intimate and dim lit. Perfect for a date night or girls dinner! We had reservations but still had a wait to be seated, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Love the wine and cocktail list. We ordered: -honey truffle brie baguette: so good! -wild yellowtail crudo: my fave! -l'escargot: excellent. -lobster ravioli: so good, wish the portion was bigger! -in house made chocolate mousse: tastes better than it looks! I will def be back soon.

    Dining area

    I have to say my wife loved this place and constantly kept saying how she felt like she was in Paris. Very small dining area, but great service and love the French ambience. Enjoy the wine by the glass. Started with oysters. Pretty good but not great and expensive at $4.50 apiece (a dozen is more than several entrées); and no cocktail sauce with horseradish. Table bread is available but at eight dollars for four slices. Steak Frites was very good. French fries are exceptional. Chicken entrée was very good as well. Side of green beans was easily shareable for four and delicious. In general, small portions and pretty expensive. Tried the profiteroles for dessert and they were OK.

    Honey truffle baguette
    Brianna C.

    Everything was amazing. Got the burger, lobster ravioli and the honey truffle baguette and just wow. Our waitress was great and the ambience was such a vibe

    Burger

    The burger was absolutely delicious, and our server was quick and attentive! I also loved the cute decorations inside and the outdoor seating area. Definitely don't sleep on their lunch menu!

    Truffle Frites, Aioli Dip Trio, Cheeseburger
    Aaliyah P.

    One of the best burgers and truffle fries I've ever had!! There was so much flavor to both, I was honestly a little shocked at how good it was. If I could only have one burger for the rest of my life it's definitely be from here!! The drink was great too. Not too strong and still had a good flavor to it. The service was great as well. Our waitress was so kind and patient with us, and even recommended the drink!! The only thing I wish we knew was that the dips for the fries cost extra , we just assumed it was already included.

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

Our first time we went to alchemy, the service and drinks were great. We even got a couple apps for happy hour. The pics are from that visiti. Our second time we went to archive, which has a more traditional feel. And quite a bit later, and probably a better conversation area. How drinks have some classic? But there's definitely some unique ones. We tried a hot dog water, which is not for everybody. And probably not for us but love that they are getting adventurous. We also had a recommendation from the server for a drink that tasted like pozole... I would have never picked that, but it was delicious. Highly recommend for drinks.

Service was excellent, food and drinks were EXCELLENT, and the vibe/atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. A little dark and moody, and intimate. The space now has two distinct sides: Archive and Alchemy. Archive is a bit larger (occupying the old Rye space), while Alchemy is where the magic is at and that's the side we were at. lol The soft-serve margarita was sooo good - it literally tastes like Dole Whip! Highly recommend checking it out! And make sure you have reservations!

Full review: I made a reservation for Ginger's at 9.30pm on a Saturday night. We arrived around 9.20pm and there was no line yet. We were able to go right in but had to wait until our reservation time for the table. We got a drink from the bar, where the other patrons were friendly and the bartenders were fast and very attentive despite it already being fairly busy. Our table was ready right at 9.30, and it was great. Two large comfy chairs with a small cocktail table in between. Cozy enough for conversation despite the place being fairly busy. It was much busier by the time we left (there was a line outside at that point), but our cozy spot was great regardless of how crowded the place got. As far as the aesthetics go, the bar is beautiful and the discreet entrance gives it the speakeasy feel. The music was great, and a handful of patrons danced in the space (which just added to the lively ambience). The drinks are top notch. I only had two. The Ginger's Old Fashioned is a solid old fashioned but nothing to rave about. However, the Diamond in the Rough is amazing and unlike any other bourbon cocktail I've had. I'd go back for that alone (and would definitely the Barrel-Aged Black Manhattan the next time). The only real downside to the bar is the restrooms. There was a slight wait for the men's (no big deal), but the wait for the women's was pretty crazy with a line outside. We let women start alternating to use the men's because we felt a little bad for them.
