We recently had a party for 25 people. The planning process was handled very smoothly, and all of our questions and requests, including very specific allergies, were addressed with great care. The food was delicious, and the staff was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend Copinette for any event. read more

Came for happy hour and restaurant week. I noticed they had a HH menu online, but I wasn't given one when I sat down so I asked about it. When they gave it to me it was drink specials, but the food options were the exact same price as the regular menu. Felt a little deceiving, that's more a bar menu than a HH menu. Got a few glasses of wine and the restaurant week menu, started with stuffed peppers, grilled branzino, and ended with the peach Melba. Everything was very good, the dessert was amazing. My wife got the Mac and cheese with bacon and the fried tortellini. The tortellini wasn't bad, the Mac and cheese had too much bacon, if I dare even say that. The staff was very friendly. read more

Have not been here in a few years, enjoyed my last experience. Visited a family friend who has a pied-a-terre in the area. So on two occasions stopped in for a quick bite. Again one star off for Cabernet Sauvignon served at room temperature. Had The Shrimp Tower on one occasion and Copinette Burger on another. Highly recommend both, the shrimp tower was very good, the burger was huge and prepared properly as requested medium rare. Have not been disappointed with the food but room temperature wine, yes. read more

Copinette is a fantastic American restaurant in Midtown East. They have a nice ambience inside. The one negative was that the service was a little slow. I got the chicken martini which was Parmesan-crusted chicken breast with asparagus, mushrooms, and artichoke sauce. This dish was incredible and exploded and flavor! read more

Went to Copinette for an early dinner on Christmas Day. The food was just wonderful. Two of my party had the pistachio crusted lamb chops and one had the filet mignon. We all loved our meals. My family raved about their shrimp tower appetizer and my Cesar salad was "ok". Service was a little slow even though it wasn't overly crowded. But that's to be expected on a holiday. I'm definitely coming back, pretty much the tastiest lamb chops I've ever had. read more

Ambiance (5/5): It's very beautiful on the inside with an elevated-fancy feel. To the left is a bar and seating and to the right (there's some stairs) to the main dining area. It is spacious and welcoming. Service (5/5): Superior service from beginning to end. Service and food were timed very well with the table cleared out often. The staff were very courteous and friendly. Food (3/5): The biggest letdown was the food which all had a stellar presentation. Shrimp Tower (4/5): Fresh flavors, delish homemade potato chip on top. French Onion Soup (3/5): savory with the cheese on top but something about it was missing something Crab Cake (3/5): Although this tasted very fresh, the portion was very small with singular patty consisting mostly of crab meat with the sauce/dressing mixed in. It comes with a side salad that was fine but not impressive. Roasted Cauliflower (2/5): Absolutely bland as if it was thrown in the oven with no dressing or breading. The chipotle sauce hardly provided any additional flavoring. Lobster Risotto (3/5): The presentation was gorgeous with the lobster tail prepared for easy eating. I wished the lobster flavor was more integrated into the risotto or it was more savory/had flavor. It felt like I was eating salted rice. Chilean Sea Bass (3/5): The skin of the bass was lightly charred atop a bed of sautéed spinach and potatoes. The fish was cooked well with the meat tender and juicy. However, the sauce just did not hit the mark--either the wine sauce was to thin to coat the food or there wasn't enough of it? Again, left with wondering what it was missing. read more

Excellent $34 prix fixe lunch special and worth the walk to 1st Avenue. Food was high-quality, reasonably priced and delicious though we did end up waiting quite some time for our entrees to arrive. I felt that their appetizers (I got the octopus while my friend got the French onion soup) were the standouts of the meal, though the lobster risotto was also quite filling. All in all, a good neighborhood spot, especially if you're nearby. read more

I just found out Gene Hackman died, and it reminded me that Jamie W and I dined here on a recent wintry weekender in Manhattan. What's the connection, you may ask? Well, we were seated at a table with a brass plaque that stated "In this spot was the table where the legendary seen (sic) was filmed for THE FRENCH CONNECTION - 1972 Oscar winner - Best Picture of the Year" (photo: https://yelp.to/6HhwuxGNOl). Yes, there was a photo on the adjacent wall of Hackman in character as Popeye Doyle (photo: https://yelp.to/dmACDOy7FU). #RIPGeneHackman But that's not why we were here. We were looking for dinner close to our Midtown East hotel, and it was just a fifteen-minute walk, granted we were constantly pummeled with hail and wind. The menu was a nice reward though with a nice melding of Italian and seafood dishes. Given the inclement weather, it was a blessing it was a casual dining setting. We started our evening with a couple of $16 Wake Me Up Martinis, their nom de plume for espresso martinis with Meill vodka and Mr. Black (photo: https://yelp.to/WnSj8ESL41). It was a tasty libation to accompany our warmed complimentary oat dinner roll (photo: https://yelp.to/fLOs2l1Hzr). Jamie picked the $15 Copinette Caesar Salad. It was a well executed version with no surprise - romaine, hard-boiled egg, Parmesan shavings, crostini croutons (photo: https://yelp.to/Ys2lJoBT7B). I went with the $22 Grilled Octopus, a generous, charred tentacle accompanied by arugula, capers, red onion, olives, a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, and a swoosh of parsnip purée (photo: https://yelp.to/-_DReC92tf). That was quite delicious and not too overdone. For his entree, Jamie ordered the $31 Grilled Branzino, a hearty size filet resting on top of sauteed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, lemon, capers, kalamata olives, and cherry tomatoes with a generous drizzle of basil olive oil (photo: https://yelp.to/J9sC06cJrp). The fish was tender and flavorful presented with layers of flavor. I was more indulgent and ordered the $32 Lobster Risotto (photo: https://yelp.to/MgzMCHgFuc). It was creamy but a bit oversalted with the risotto freckled with green peas, cherry tomatoes, and scallions. However, the lobster tail was generous and succulent enough. We were pretty stuffed though their dessert selection was tempting with coconut pineapple cake and affogato among the choices. I have to mention that the muzak was loud and the music way too aerobic for the ambiance. FOOD - 4 stars...hearty portions, satisfying flavors AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...relatively low-key interrupted by the cacophonous muzak SERVICE - 3.5 stars...attentive enough TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely a viable Midtown East dining option with a French Connection connection RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

Me & a coworker/friend came here for lunch. The restaurant is a beauty. Lots of sunlight coming in. The food was tasty. Service was great. I had the crab cake sandwich & my friend had the lamb burger. They came with a salad & fries. Very tasty. I would come back. read more

Super friendly service all around. We had some specific customizations we wanted, and the waitress patiently listened to and adhered to all of them. Appreciate their friendliness and flexibility. Brunch was solid. Not super crowded - but enough people to experience a real vibe. I participate likes that there was an entire Eggs section on the menu. Kids menu options are available as well (I tried some of the pancake, and it was delectable). Their omelette of the day was solid with the salad and truffle fries included. Very happy with this restaurant overall. read more

We went here to have brunch and Inwas happily pleased! Amerixan with a French Flair- I ended up with warm goat cheese salad-frisée, beets, prosciutto, and hazelnut vinaigrette on the side. They also give you a croissant on the side. it was very good. My friends got scrambled eggs with bacon (took half home) and blueberry buttermilk pancakes-with strawberries, blueberries, blueberry syrup and whipped cream for my college daughter. Everyone qas very pleased. The place is so pretty with its pictures and flowers. There also is an upstairs which is lovely. We decided not to have any dessert here. I would come back as it is a very nice place that is worth trying again read more

Nice and attentive service, very personable. Came for brunch, coffee drinks are very good. Got the special veggie omelette which was really great. The pancakes were very good, they are very thin, yet a nice fluff to them. The blueberry toppings are fresh and not overly sweet. My complaint, they don't have maple syrup. They use general thick, sticky, pancake syrup and no maple syrup as an option. I'm always willing to pay an extra couple bucks to upgrade to high quality maple syrup. Super high quality pancakes, low quality syrup. read more

My friend and I visited Copinette earlier this year for brunch and looooved their French onion soup. It brought us back last week for a post happy hour dinner! We shared a French onion soup and the roasted scallops for appetizers. The soup was as delicious as I remembered!! The scallops were good and cooked well. For entrees, we shared the truffle risotto and the Hazelnut Mushroom Crusted Halibut. Lovedddd the risotto. The halibut was a tiny bit overcooked in my opinion but still enjoyed it. We also shared a good bottle of Pinot Grigio! Service wise, we were greeted by a warm and cheerful man at the door, which was lovely! Our waitress was not super attentive but the restaurant was packed for a Monday night! She never helped to refill our wine glasses and since she put the ice bucket across the table from us, we had to keep getting up to refill our glasses ourselves. Will be back for the French onion soup among others! Lots of great things on their menu I want to eat my way through. read more

Had a pleasant experience at Copinette! Was here for a small work dinner on a Monday night. It was warm inside and they had a coat check as well. Service was exceptionally fast! Our appetizers came out so fast I was surprised. I must've gained about 10lbs - everything was pretty good! Only hiccup is that they accidentally marked down both our Steak Frites dinner with no fries. Once served, they told us their mistake and asked if we still wanted the fries. (Obviously!!!?!?) Once the fries came out, they only gave us 1 side order instead of both. Not sure why this happened! Other than that, staff were friendly and would come back. read more

Wow! My bestie and I met here for Easter brunch and we could not stop gushing at the taste of everything. We ordered the lemon ricotta donuts which were DIVINE, crunchy on outside and soft/warm on inside. I got the Lobster Benedict and thoroughly enjoyed it! Given that it was Easter brunch and the restaurant was packed, the service was a bit slower. However our waiter made up for it with his charm! Would absolutely recommend and come back again an again read more

We came for the 7th anniversary celebration and had a great time. We started off with the cosmos, which were nicely made and not to sweet. We had the tuna tartare and tortellinis. The tortellinis were simple and kind of tasted like dumplings. The meat platter came with a mix of steak, chorizo and ground meat kebab, which was all well cooked. I only wish there were a few more onion rings included! There was a saxophonist playing the night we were there. It was a bit noisy but they do have upstairs seating as well. Overall a great experience and good service. read more

Came here for my sister in laws birthday brunch. Food was decent, but the portion sizes were very small. The waitress recommended a dish to my husband that was very small and he was left hungry.

We had a reservation at 7, by the time it was 8, we still didn't have our appetizers which shocked me since the table near us (seated after, with two more people than we had in our party) was served?? However, the food came out HOT HOT HOT! The French onion soup was one of the best I've had in. While. I got the steak frites and the NY strip was cooked to perfection! read more

Had a really lovely time here for dinner as a party of nine. We were seated upstairs, where we had the area to ourselves. ALL the apps we orders were very good! The slaw with the Crab Cake paired nicely, and the sauce and mushrooms with the Pan Seared Scallops were so YUM! The Grilled Octopus was very tender and not chewy at all, like some places. We got the Salmon Tartare special and everything about it was delicious! Fried calamari is a must with large parties, as it's an easy dish to share. The Steak was perfectly cooked and came with the crispiest sweet potato fries. The Sea Bass was moist and I really enjoyed the roasted potatoes that came with it. There was ample lobster in the Lobster Linguini dish, which was pleasant. The Grilled Branzino was okay, nothing special. Great, attentive staff. Overall, had a wonderful time. Nice spot for a date night, comfortable meal, or special occasion! read more

This place is really cute. The service is okay which is why I docked a star, and it's dimly lit. The food is great. I came here with a friend the night before a race and I ordered the Branzino. It was so good. It sat on a bed of mashed potatoes and had veggies on the plate with it. She had the Caesar salad and the pan seared scallops and loved it. My stomach did hurt after eating the fish, but I won't blame them as I'm sensitive sometimes. Not sure I'd come back as their menu didn't excite me too much but it's worth the try read more

Passed by this restaurant many times and said I would stop in one day to try it out. Stopped in for my birthday dinner with family. We had about 8 of us they put us at a semi long table near front of restaurant. The restaurant is dimly lit and they have small lamps at all tables. The bar area is in the front. It has a tv its on the smaller side but a decent size for a restaurant. And our waitress we had was very nice and answered all questions we had and took my allergies seriously. For drinks most of the table had red wine. not sure which one they had but they seemed to like it alot. I had the Oui Oui champagne drink that had champagne, botanist gin, cointreau, lime juice, rose syrup. It came with a pretty flower too! It lasted me through out the whole dinner. For food I started iff with the French onion soup which was very tasty and came super hot! I then had the ROASTED AMISH CHICKEN BREAST garlic mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, lemon, garlic and white wine sauce. There seemed to be like a raspberry sauce on my plate too of some sort not sure what that was. Some other dishes that were had at the table were the STEAK FRITES ny strip, peppercorn sauce, sea salt french fries with mesclun greens, Lobster Risotto with green peas, cherry tomatoes, scallions and some pasta dish. For dessert I had the affogato, and they brought out slices of their cheese cake for the celebrations. All around food and drinks were good. It did get a bit noisy because there were many people there while we were there. I would definitely come back and try their brunch menu! read more

I came here on a Thursday night. It wasn't that packed. My group and I were seated in the back and it felt like a private room. There were other tables in the alcove space we had but no one else was seated there. We ordered: - Tuna tartare - my favorite appetizer - calamari - needed a little more flavor and was not that crispy - bruschetta - didn't try this - crab cake - only comes with one crab cake - squid - lobster linguine - I enjoyed this a lot!! - steak frites I had a pretty good experience here and service was good. read more

This review is primarily for their brunch. I decided to have a few friends join me for a birthday Sunday girls brunch. We were seated at a long table in the back corner which is nice. I ate an eggs drink and a few alcoholic drinks. Their cocktails were interesting. Service was just ok, I remember there being a few small issues. Food was pretty standard, not that great or memorable. I had higher hopes, I do hope their dinner menu is better because I noticed a few things on it I would go back to try some day. It was still a pleasant experience. read more

Really small portions for the eggs benedict but it was not bad. I wouldn't need to come back just based on price:portion ratio.

Food, service and ambiance are all wonderful. My second time dining at Copinette and I will certainly return.

What a delightful brunch we had here today. They begin with placing a warm croissant on the table, which was a very nice touch and very tasty. We enjoyed chicken Caesar salad and a crab cake sandwich on a perfectly toasted brioche bun that came with salad and fries. I've been craving a good crab cake for a long time and this one was seasoned to perfection and the toasted brioche bun with a really tasty sauce just put it over the top and really hit the spot. For dessert we had a decadent ricotta cheese cake with strawberry compote. The only negative was the coffee was luke warm, but it was still rich and tasted excellent. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful, on point, attentive and super friendly. Will definitely return to try Branzino or lobster risotto from their dinner menu. Very highly recommend. read more

Overall, the food was just okay and considering there are so many good brunch places around I was a bit disappointed. Came here for brunch on a Sunday with two others. We had a reservation for 11:30am and the place was pretty empty. By the time we left the place was fairly packed. I ordered a Cafe Latte which was alright. We got an order of the French Toast to share, which was my favorite thing of the entire meal. Not because it was exceptionally good, it was just the best thing we ate. My boyfriend ordered the French Onion Soup, which was pretty disappointing. The broth was sour which is an interesting take on french onion soup. For myself, I ordered the Truffle Omelette, which was just okay. The truffle flavor was very faint, the salad that accompanied the omelette was not very appetizing either, and I felt like I got a half portion of the potatoes it came with. Overall, everyone in my party agreed that the meal was subpar. Thank you, next! read more

Quite a standard brunch place. Interiors are pretty though however nothing in the menu that stands out. But I must call out that their service is top notch and servers are courteous and do care abt the customers. We ordered truffle omelette with house fries and smoked Salmon on toast. No complains from the food as such and the portions are generous. Just that I'm kinda tired of the similar brunch menu across majority of restaurants. If restaurants can start getting bit more creative with their menu, it will go far with the customers. read more
