I have read several reviews from other customers of chez moi and I am hoping that I just caught them on a really bad night. I had the escargot, risotto, croquettes, butternut squash soup and foi gras. The most consistent thing about the quality of the meal was that it was very overdone and temperature hot. Who would have thought it is possible to mess up truffle croquettes but they were unfortunately similar to cardboard stuffed with glue. The only passable dish was the foi gras. I am thinking that maybe since it was after 10 that maybe the chef had left and remainders were being heated up in a microwave, but who knows. It was a truly unfortunate meal as it would be great to have more goto restaurants in the area. On the plus side, our server was attentive. read more

Went there for brunch and it was delicious! All of the portions were big and the fresh squeezed juices are to die for! The staff was so kind as well... Definitely returning. read more

I go to grad school nearby and yesterday night, a Tuesday, was the second time I went into Chez Moi for a couple drinks with friends post-exams. The service and drinks were so good that I felt compelled to write this review. We spent a couple hours at the bar downstairs. The place has a Parisian speakeasy vibe without the dumb wait and overrated bs of Manhattan spots that bill themselves that way. The seating in the back of the bar is mostly plush, velvet loveseats and the like. The front of the bar, where we were, was also nice; dainty stools, a marble bar top, and of course, a view of the super nice bartender. He was very attentive throughout the evening. After letting me try a couple wines, I ordered a glass of the syrah/grenache, which was lovely. The rest of my party, however, was more adventurous with drinks. He mixed them up some well-made cocktails that everyone enjoyed. One of the guys in my party was bold enough to order a Prairie Oyster, which of course is not on the menu. The bartender took absolutely no issue with the order and made sure to make it just right. You could tell that the bartender really cares about making drinks that his guests are satisfied with; a very invaluable trait indeed. Anyways, lovely bartender, lovely space, lovely drinks! Only wish I wasn't such a broke grad student and could have spared to tip him more. read more

Went on a Friday night and ordered the special. It was special! Like very bad things are special. It was plastic chicken in curry sauce with recently unfrozen vegetables. That was it. That was the ballgame. The atmosphere was nice and the mussels were good, but the quality of this order was so far beneath the purported dignity of the restaurant that it undermined the whole thing. There's no way they could have shoveled that garbage and not known *exactly* what they were doing. I don't care if you suck. I care if you are dishonest about it. That food didn't belong in that restaurant, and the fact that it was attached to a price tag with a "teen" slapped on the end of it ought to keep someone up late at night. Don't let it be you! Sleep is important. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It looks so cute from the outside and I love French bistro food. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed by my experience. I ordered the chicken, which was served undercooked -- still pink. I let them know, and they fixed it right away, but it took so long that my husband finished his entire meal before mine even came out. He had the steak and fries -- fries were okay, not great. He ordered the steak medium and it came out purple. The hostess was really nice and apologetic about my chicken. She didn't charge us for it, which I appreciated. Maybe someday when I'm feeling more forgiving I'll give the mussels a try. read more

Went here for brunch and got the Eggs Benedict. The service was slow and they overcooked my egg. The Bloody Mary was good and the bacon servings were very generous. read more

All around great place! My husband and I have been going here for some time now and it's become our favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is classic French bistro, the service is very friendly and inviting, and the food is consistently good. The dishes are mostly really well done versions of traditional bistro food. Their risottos are flavorful and fresh tasting. The crepes are light and tasty. A recent cod special was well cooked and delicious. The mussels are really good and they make one of the best burgers I have ever had! And to top it off, the pricing is very good. One of the owners is usually on hand to welcome you and make you feel at home. The rest of the staff is attentive and warm (a special shout out to Fardosa and Eddie). I'd love to keep this place as my little secret, but I want it thrive as an oasis among so many mediocre "hip" places in Brooklyn. read more

Loved this place! Hubby and I went last night with our 18 month old son. They were very accommodating. The ambiance was was romantic yet family oriented. The tuna tartare was a hit, the steak tartare was tasty and the NY strip steak was great. We drank a rose wine that went well with our food. We will definitely become regulars! read more

Small little French place we happened to walk by on a Saturday for brunch. Good service, decent food (my blueberry pancake was almost like a muffin in consistency which I didn't really enjoy), and cute interior. Being that it was a holiday weekend, the place was not super packed and we didn't have to wait for a table. There were perhaps 5 other groups of people and EVERY SINGLE ONE included at least 1 child, most had 2! I'm not a kids person so when there are kids yelling or running around, I am disgruntled. Will probably come back if I'm in the area for dinner.... everyone was having brunch mussels which seemed to be the thing to have! Will prob not miss it if I never came back... lots of similar French cafes in the hood read more

Great French food in a comfortable setting. Nice wines, perfect chicken, great service. One of our go to places for a consistently predictable good meal. read more

The food is so good my initial reaction was not to tell anyone else--like keeping a new traffic-free way to the Hamptons from the rest of the crowd. This is great French food--authentic, perfectly seasoned, so satisfying in every way. The ambience is friendly and not elitist, but the food cannot be matched in Brooklyn, and rarely in Manhattan or even in Paris. This place is a gem. This is real French cuisine at its highest level of preparation. read more

The service and the food were both awesome. Not a fan of the dark, crypt-like lighting (hence I shaved off a star). Some people think it's romantic, but I actually like to see my food and the person sitting across from me :) read more

I've been here three times so far. The first was for dinner which was very tasty and I thought reasonably priced for the neighborhood (certainly priced below its neighbor Colonie). The service was a bit slow but the place was brand new. I've been back twice for brunch and I couldn't be happier with it. The service has since improved a good deal. Eggs Benedict for $13 isn't too bad for Brooklyn Heights, and it comes with a yummy salad and skinny fries. The hollandaise was perfect and flavorful; not too thick or custardy, just the right amount of lemon. The eggs were also, well... perfect! A Bloody Mary will run you $10 (at least a few bucks less than colonie) and is spicy and satisfying. I don't really understand how Colonie is still so much more popular than this place for Brunch: Chez Moi's (more generous) portion sizes and price, minus the wait time of its stuck up neighbor, make this a much better option for a relaxing brunch. If you live close by, give her a try! read more

Chez Moi - Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon: perfect! - French Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice upscale brunch alternative to Colonie on Atlantic. Excellent mussels ...

I love this place so much. Wonderful staff, perfect menu, high quality produce and most importantly not a pretentious type of place. My favorite is the skate fish. I just wish they had oysters every day, not just certain days. read more

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and great service~! The decor is quaint, warm and pleasant. (I LOVED the bathroom) Please stop by!! My friend and I took a chance on a Sunday early evening, and we made the RIGHT choice. I recommend getting the steak tartare! It comes with French fries and a salad. Delicious! Amazing drinks. Need to go back! read more

Great service and the menu although quite traditional always delivers. Reliable, cozy: a go to in the neighborhood

I stopped by around 4 and was told they wen't doing anything but Apps and mussels which kind of sucked. I went for a bowl of french onion soup and a charcuterie platter. The soup was in a decent sized bowl with large chunks of bread and a good amount of cheese on top. The broth was very nice and rich and overall I enjoyed it. The charcuterie platter wasn't anything special. The portion size was very good and I couldn't finish it. The rillette was the highlight for me and normally I hate it. The sausage and pate were just ok. I'll probably try to go back and try an entree before I write it completely off but overall I thought the meal was just ok. read more

Such an amazing place. The food is delicious to say the least, and the atmosphere is very cool. We were a party of four, and the bill was reasonable for the quality of food, service, and area. My friend and I both ordered the Wild Skate Fish with Fava Beans, Artichoke, Lemon Butter. It was so unbelievably delicious and moist that I would go there again just for that. My other friend had the All Natural Chicken with Housemade Spaetzle, Wax Beans, Miner's Lettuce. She said that it was the moistest chicken that she ever had, and that was white meat. Lastly, my boyfriend ordered the Hamburger with Foie Gras. He said that it was one of the best burgers that he ever had. We are definitely coming back! read more

I wanted to love this place I really did. Super cute and cozy inside, my waiter was attentive and nice but food took forever to come out - definitely over an hour. When it did arrive it was bland. They also jacked up one of our orders but ended up giving it to us on the house which was cool. A couple next to me was going off on the owner because they to were waiting on their food. I don't think I'll be giving this place another chance sadly. read more

Our first stop upon our arrival in Brooklyn. We came in for drinks and snacks and ended up getting great conversation with Leigh our bartender. The wine choices were spot on and perfectly paired with the fennel salad and charred octopus (best tasting dish like this that we've ever ate)! Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming - definitely a must stop for any one in the area! read more

Very cute intimate restaurant but not overly crowded. Very good risotto, so please try and maybe it will convert you if you are not a risotto fan (as it did for me). All fish dishes are good. Very hot waitresses. Very good music. read more

Service here was fantastic. Ambiance was quiet and calm with great decor. Food was excellent!

I used to live a couple of doors down from this place, it's definitely a neighborhood gem. As for the food all I can say is mussels mussels mussels! I love their mussels and the bartender is always approachable and great with pairing the mussels with the right glass of wine. If it's a beautiful day definitely sit by the bar in front of the window or grab a table outside, it has a very French Rivera feel in Brooklyn Heights - just the perfect combo. read more

Amazing all around. Had the duck w/ orange sauce and boyfriend had the chicken. We had the mixed greens and they give you a lot, unlike other places. :) after we went to speakeasy part and the drinks were great too! read more

Cute little place. Adding bacon and egg to the burger was the way to go. Good fries too. Tuna tartare and beet salad were fine. Big cocktail selection. read more

Minus 1 star for slow service, but 5 stars for food and beverage. Huge Quality beer list, with make your own flights. I had 3 amazing sours I had never heard of and wasn't disappointed. The entree sale I had was perfect and delicious, along with the toasted focaccia. Will definitely be back. read more

Dinner is great but I find the brunch to be so so. Service is always attentive and friendly. I really enjoy the muscles and the bar downstairs is fabulous. read more

This is the cutest French restaurant! My family was visiting me South Brooklyn after a show and we popped in here for dinner. I got a 'soup of the day' which was a creamy cauliflower soup and my parents got the classic French onion soup, which was just perfect. My sister got the Thai mussels and we split it. So much flavor! The mussels were cooked perfectly! My parents had a smoked salmon and fennel salad. Absolutely refreshing. We ended with, of course, a creme brûlée which cracked ohperfectly:D Merci Chez Moi! read more

Great combination of friendly atmosphere and good french food (go during the week for that because the brunch menu excludes most good French stuff). They have $1 oysters during happy hour I think. read more

Went for a date night and was blown away by the Chez Moi cocktail and tuna tartare. Will go back for both! The steak frites was so-so but my Boston salad was killer. read more

Had a lovely brunch here with family yesterday! This tiny, yet lovely & sweet place has delicious food & great service. Decor is clean & quaint ... Gives a warm vibe. read more

I came here for Mother's Day brunch at 3:00 pm. The food is pretty solid and they can accommodate large groups. Our meal wasn't the most traditional French food but the vibe was nice and the prices were reasonable. You'll probably pay somewhere between $11 - $16 for a brunch entree. read more

This place served up perfection...on every level. We went on July 4th...the city is empty, it's actually my favorite holiday to spend in NYC. The weather was beautiful this year. Anyway, I digress. We wandered along Atlantic with no particular destination...we wanted brunch. After checking out the menus at a few different places, we backtracked to Chez Moi, and wow, what a treat. The service was efficient, pleasant and unobtrusive. The food was soooo good. The crispy home potatoes...heaven. Perfectly herbed and salted, I couldn't stop myself from eating them off his plate. The brûlée grapefruit...so good! Bottomless cup of Colombian coffee for $2.50?! Yup. We ordered the "grits of the day" as an appetizer because, yeah, we needed a breakfast appetizer. It was cherry tomato, red pepper and parmesan grits...I cannot express how delicious this dish was. I told the waiter that they should recommend it to every table! Cute decor, mellow vibe, good service, and fantastic food...I'm so happy we found this gem. We'll be back. read more

Four of us had dinner at Chez Moi last week. It's a great little place with a bar at the front and tables at the back. We'd booked a table and ended up having to call to request they hold our table as the traffic was terrible. Warm reception when we entered, we were greeted by the hostess and a fellow who looked to be the manager. We were seated and our server Ashley came by to tell us the specials and take our cocktail order. I had a Basilic which had to be one of the best cocktails that I've ever had. It was gin based maybe? It had the freshness of basil (and was garnished with a leaf of basil) with a bit of sweetness but not at all fruity. An absolutely perfect summer drink. My friend prefers tequila, and on Ashley's suggestion she had a drink made with smoky mezcal? It was good and tasted like a truly well put together drink, but mine was more delicious. Top marks for the bar. Our husbands shared a bottle of wine which was around the $40 mark but I can't remember the name. They both have good wine palates and they said the wine was perfectly serviceable which is a funny way to describe it. We shared a dozen oysters and a tuna tartare to start. On Ashley's suggestion we had three types of oysters and they were all very fresh, firm and plump. The oysters were served on crushed ice with cocktail sauce and a shallot vinegar sauce. I loved the shallot vinegar but my table mates all decided to mix the two. That's too much flavor for me. For dinner three out of four of us ordered Steak au Poivre, served with fries and a small green salad. My friend ordered the roast duck breast after first talking to Ashely to let her know that she wanted to make sure that she could have the duck cooked through - as in no pink. She would only order if it could be prepared in this way, otherwise she'd order something else. She was assured that the duck could be prepared "well". She even commented that she loves duck, but never orders it because it's never cooked to her liking, as the chefs always insist on preparing it THEIR way, not to the guests request. You can guess what happened, of course. The duck was brought, it was very pink and the texture was indicative of medium rare at the best. She called over the server and requested that the duck be taken back to be cooked more, as she'd specified that she wanted it cooked well. It was taken away, brought back five minutes later with very little change. We've all watched enough shows to assume what conversation went on in the kitchen. The chef has every right to prepare the dish as he sees fit, but does not have the right to accept an order outside of the norm, and then not prepare it as requested. Simply say no - the duck is prepared like this, order something else that can be cooked more to your liking. If it had been me I'd ask for it to be taken back again and a new plate prepared but my friend is far nicer, and decided she'd eat the outside pieces and leave the more rarer parts on her plate. Ashely came by to check on all of our meals, and my friend said that despite returning her plate it was still not great, but she was goiing to keep it. To me that would be the opening for the server to either offer to correct things or else call the manager to let them know that despite the food being returned it was still not to the guests satisfaction. She ate two small pieces, one from each end of the breast. The same server/food runner saw the majority of duck on her plate and nobody said anything. Our steaks were perfectly cooked, amazing french fries and a delicious vinegarette on the salads. I'd definitely go back again, but I am a bit disappointed that the wonderful service didn't extend to ensuring that my friends meal was properly executed, and that the manager didn't at least come and offer an explanation or a comment of some kind. We were there early and it did fill up very quickly, and so this is the only small critique on an otherwise very good meal and evening. read more

I love this place! Wonderful service and delicious food! I've had the mussels, snails, the octopus and the skate fish and all were amazing. Also good wine at reasonable prices. One of my favorite places in Brooklyn heights. Also la boudoir is just downstairs :) the chocolate mousse is also delicious! read more

The food is very good. Service okay. The noise level on a Saturday evening is dreadful!!!

This is a great place for brunch. The staff are friendly and attentive but mostly the food is delicious. And you'd think that'd be enough but the prices are incredible too. A group of us had brunch on Sunday and everything was just delicious. Try the savory crepe with spinach and mushrooms or the French Toast - yummy. The chicken sausage patties are tasty too. Definitely will go back. read more

The eggs Benedict was good, loved the potatoes as well. The service was also good. What really sucked was the Bloody Mary! It was more like tomato paste with vodka along with a limp piece of celery for $10. I will go back for brunch but will stick to coffee. Ever since the unfortunate demise of Robin Dubois on smith, we have been looking for a place that perfect eggs Benedict brunch. read more

Delicious, courteous staff, cozy atmosphere. My go-to French spot in Brooklyn!
