Side note...add the croissant to your order...

Buvette was able to accommodate me for an early dinner shortly after my arrival in New York,…read morespecifically the West Village. Buvette is one of five W. Village eateries helmed by power-chef duo Jody Williams and Rita Sodi; four are within a block of each other. I passed the other three (Bar Pisellino, Via Carota, I Sodi) on my way and all had lines out the door. Carota and Sodi are Italian, Buvette is French. There are 2 other Buvettes in Asia and one coming soon in London. Buvette does not do reservations. Buvette is a charming but tiny/cramped space, made more tiny within the last year by NYC's removal of pandemic-era street patios which greatly helped dining capacity. Buvette may sometimes have a few front sidewalk tables, and there's a tiny outdoor patio in the back. The tables and dishware are also tiny. There's a kitchen in the back, but some food is also prepared below the bar in front, where there seem to be some ovens. The food seems reliably consistent here. The menu is short but there are daily specials. I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger soda, crab tartine (a special), lobster a l'Americaine (lobster pot pie) and frites. The soda is always on the menu and is refreshing, with a nice snap of ginger. The crab tartine was fab, a fresh crab salad with avocado atop toast. The lobster pot pie was made in the under-bar oven, a small serving of lobster and veggies with a golden puff pastry topper. Delish. The frites were nicely crisp, served with an aioli. Service was okay, but my hot food took about 45 minutes to come out, apparently because my ticket was lost. Overall a pleasant meal, my first during this visit.

We are shocked because this came highly recommended just felt totally flat for our entire group.

Ate: French onion soup Bread service Tuna tartare Le burger Veggies du mache Crème brûlée Total: $138 before tip Starting with soup and warm bread was fab. The large pieces onion & melted Gruyère were perfect. The tartare was merely ok and though I loved the idea of the veggies with olive sauce it didn't have enough of a flavor punch. The water disappeared towards the end and the dessert took ten minutes to come out The final insult was the packing of the soup sans the chunky onions. Wine list by the glass looks great btw. I would return for a lunch service when it's started. I was generous because the French onion soup was top tier and I'm a sucker for a great bread service.

But it's legit around the corner from the Northwell Hospital on 7th Avenue in the Village. Cute setup and interior with little booths and fake lavender popping up behind you, lovely floral twined around a pillar. It's giving cozy cute french cafe. They do have an affordable-ish drink menu for brunch that I was tempted to indulge in but I restrained myself. It's a 2-for-1 on $16 cocktails. So $8 a pop I guess. But they are more unique sounding cocktails like the Mimosa Royale, Cafe Framboise, and Brunch Au Paradis, and Lavender Margaritas all sounded very tempting. For my entree I was torn between the Filet Mignon sandwich, truffle mac and cheese, and the Croque Monsieur or Madame. Ultimately went with the Croque Monsieur, which I kind of wish in hindsight I ordered something else. It was decent. There was nothing overtly wrong with it. It just wasn't kicking. I've had better Croque Monsieurs/Madames. Maybe it was the cheese or bechamel. Maybe it was the white ham or bread that just didn't taste fresh as I got closer to the edges. Who knows. The fries were also seriously soggy. My friend got the same thing but the Madame version and asked for an overcooked egg since she does not eat or enjoy runny eggs. They also couldn't substitute bacon for ham on the sandwich but convinced her that she could still buy a side of bacon. The egg with no surprises arrived completely runny and they had to recook it and I was surprised that the side of bacon came to the table in bite sized bacon bits instead of you know. . . . like strips of bacon. Small things. But I wasn't wowed by the restaurant. I'd return to try something else at brunch or maybe try their happy hour some day. But another thing that kind of veered me away was their anti cash attitude. They accept basically only card but will accept cash if it's in the exact amount. That's the tricky word around way of saying we generally don't take cash with making it still legal.

We went to celebrate a…read morebirthday dinner and while the restaurant was empty when we arrived it was completely full when we left! Every single table was occupied. This isn't a large restaurant either so it definitely felt more cramped. The tables here are extremely small, which is probably comparable to real brasseries in Paris. But given the dishes here are gigantic the table sizes only fit 1 dinner dish. First the service was excellent! We asked for another empty table in the middle of our meal as the dishes were so cramped from our apps we knew it would not work for our mains. They were gracious to allow us to do so. Which made our main courses so much more comfortable to enjoy. For apps we ordered the escargot, burrata, mussels, and onion soup. Loved the escargot! However the onion soup we could not finish it was so salty, with not enough bread to taste with. Note they also do not offer any bread basket! Which I was surprised. I really wanted to like the onion soup but really far too salty. For our mains, we shared the daily special which was tenderloin with seared foie gras (yup you heard it right! The real stuff! My favorite), seared scallops, rib eye, salmon, beef bourguignon and the duck magret. My fav was definitely the tenderloin and salmon was delicious. However the scallops were really missing that flavor for me, very bland. And the duck, was very bloody and only consisted of 2 pieces! I thought that was kinda on the stingy side. Wasn't even a whole breast, literally 2 cut slices. Also note the fries are delicious here! Overall, while the service was great. The food was really lacking in many aspects. Really enjoyed the seared foie gras (the real stuff!), salmon, escargot, mussels and the fries! However extremely salty onion soup, lacking flavor in scallops and very small portion. It just did not do it for me.
