    Inside
    Aleksandra E.

    The place is located in a busy area; the staff is friendly. The place inside is tiny and smells like fresh pastry that people cook at the back, which is very tempting. I cannot speak for the pastry, but coffee is horrible. Even with added milk, I feel over-burned beans. The prices here are not budget-friendly, and for a small cup of cappuccino with an extra espresso, I paid 7$. I would not be so upset if it would be smooth, but I threw it away. I am not coming back.

    Well haven't been here in a while since quarantine, but finally had to opportunity to get my fix. Best croissants hands down. It's curb side pick up, you'd have to order online. There's no line of people to pick up, I was there two days in a row, it was just basically grab and go!

    Everything seasoning croissant

    Had the everything seasoned croissant based on the recommendation of the very friendly staff, my god it was beyond words the perfect croissant and I'm not a big croissant person. Light airy and just the perfect crispness outside. It is obvious this is a legit artisan baker at work here, there is a ton of attention to detail and craftsmanship. To the negative reviews of the prices you get what you pay for , bagel delight charges 8 bucks for BEC , this place is giving you authentic and deliciously fresh items that you can't get at a bagel store or trader joes

    Delicious chocolate almond croissants! Would love to try the other pastries and cookies.

    Inflation is bad but the prices here are wild. The pastry is very good but not worth the price shock.

    The place is overprice. The quality of the food is below average. Avoid, not worth it.

    Is the patio open for outdoor dining? if so, are there heat lamps?

    Is everything made with sourdough?

    We have a wide range of sourdough-based breads, but not everything is made with sourdough. Some of our breads and pastries are made without sourdough starter.

High ceilings, soft lighting, and just enough energy in the room to make it feel lively without being chaotic. It works equally well for a date, a dinner with friends, or even a solo meal at the bar. Food-wise, everything felt intentional. The menu leans classic French, but it doesn't feel heavy or outdated. The roast chicken is the obvious move for a reason. It's simple, but perfectly done. The kind of dish that makes you realize how good something basic can be when executed right. The steak frites were also solid, and the sauces across the board stood out more than expected. Service was polished but not stiff. They know what they're doing, but it never feels rehearsed or overbearing. If I had to nitpick, it's not cheap, and portions aren't massive, but you're not really coming here for volume anyway. It's more about the overall experience. Overall, Le Crocodile hits that balance of being a "nice night out" spot without feeling like a production. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

    Francie absolutely lives up to the hype for a special-occasion dinner: warm, buzzy room, beautiful…read moreplating, and a menu that leans classic-French-with-a-twist in a way that feels both indulgent and playful. Highlights (would order again): - Foie gras canelé - $15 each so yes, it's pricey for the size, but it's genuinely delicious. Rich foie flavor with a surprise sweetness that totally works and makes it feel more like a savory-dessert bite than a standard foie app. - Duck pithivier - basically "beef Wellington but with duck," with that flaky pastry moment and deep, cozy flavor. - Desserts: the "canard au citron" lemon meringue is almost too cute to eat (there's a little duck!) and it was my favorite dessert of the night: bright, citrusy, and not too heavy. The yuzu frozen yogurt was clean and refreshing, and the chocolate brownie pie hits the rich/chocolate craving perfectly. Also tried: - Crab crepe - my friend described it as a "Caesar salad wrap with a soggy tortilla in the best way," which was weirdly accurate. Tasty, but texturally soft (know what you're getting). - Honeynut squash bombolini - slightly sweet from the squash, fun little bite. - Pappardelle + agnolotti - comforting, saucy pasta energy (and great for sharing). - Colorado lamb - the only real miss for me: lamb itself was a bit salty, though the sides/sauce situation was delicious. Overall: inventive without being fussy, and everything feels very intentional. Portions are on the smaller/fine-dining side and the prices add up fast, but the execution is strong and the dessert game is elite. I'd come back for the duck pithivier + lemon duck dessert combo alone. They're also known for their duck which is a massive portion for $120 or $150 (I forgot the price) - have heard this is incredible so will need to come back to try that as well. Service was also great. Definitely deserve the Michelin star.

    Wow. WOW. I had some…read moreexpectations but this dinner far exceeded them. We initially came in to try the Restaurant Week but decided to get the Duck instead. Started with the carpaccio- I never eat mushrooms and this is the dish I'd come back here for. Fantastic. Every bite was amazing. The short rib pasta (agnolotti)- perfect portion and blend of flavors. And the star of the show, the crown of duck... perfect. The presentation and flavor.. the parsnip that came with it was also a favorite. Ended the evening with the canard au citron.. not a fan of sweets but this was very lemony and not too sweet. All in all, outstanding.

The host had even set a table aside for us with coloring pages (based on the mural on the opposite wall, which they loved realizing). Everything was absolutely perfect. The Gougère (a cheese puff pastry) was airy, light and I loved it, more than anyone else at the table. The fried artichokes were more broiled (tasted healthier) and came in a slightly acidic tahini sauce. The sauce was a light layer on the dish instead of on top to keep the brussel sprouts from getting soggy. I got the moules frites, fantastic, no notes. My son got the kids steak and fries which came with a salad he ate first. The price ($22) for a "kids" meal seemed steep, but the steak alone was probably worth the price, and actually seasoned. This is the type of kids meal that builds kids who actually like food. We got some zero cocktails (not enough sleep to drink and travel the next day) and they were great. If I'm at the NU hotel again, this is going to be a must stop place. Total bull was 222 (before tip) for 3 adults and 2 kids. So expensive, but well worth it, and honestly not terrible for NYC standards.

I was torn between the smoked trout scramble and the Nicoise but without olives since I'm not a fan but on the waiter's suggestion I ordered the Nicoise. Not a knock on the waiter at all but the olive aioli that he said was on it tasted way too olive-y for me so I had to send it back and ordered the scramble instead! I also had a small piece of the socca bread and wasn't a fan. There wasn't a lot of smoked trout in it but pairing it with the hash brown or spread on the toast was the best move for flavor profile. Overall a decent experience but I wouldn't rush to come back!
