    Chicken Martini
    Danny P.

    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!

    Fun cocktail.

    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.

    Lobster Benedict

    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

    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?

    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.

    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

    Service was good but good have been better. Served the Latte way late almost had to cancel it. Also food wasn't so much. Had to return the shrimp scampi due to the noodles being undercooked x2. Dessert was ok. Place seemed nice though.

    French Onion Soup and Tuna Tartare
    Iris C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely loved Copinette! Came last month & as luck would have it was during their anniversary week. Delish drinks & insanely yummy food. Sat with friends outside & had a thoroughly lovely evening. Gorgeous weather, lots of people watching & a straight view to the United Nations bldg. I loved it all & can't wait to go back! Stellar service all around, we were never rushed but always felt properly taken care of.

    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. They did sign happy birthday, which was nice but the dessert again was very small. Not a great experience overall.

    Pan Roasted Scallops
    Veronica L.

    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!

I had a 7pm reservation, but was running late, and they were flexible and told me to come any time. Upon my arrival, I was seated by the piano. The pianist playing that night, Andrew Abrahamsen, was very talented. He played an eclectic mix of songs, including "I Will Survive," Disney's "When You Wish Upon a Star," and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." As the night went on, he played Happy Birthday for me, and went on a 90s Disney Renaissance spree, playing songs including "Go the Distance" from Hercules, "Out There" from Hunchback of Notre Dame, "Beauty and the Beast," and "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story. Ordered black tiger shrimp for my entree. It smelled wonderful, and especially peppery once the waiter added pepper to it. The risotto the shrimp sat on was also very delicious. I ended up taking this to go, and it still tasted great later on! For dessert, I chose the lemon tart brûlée with raspberry sorbet. It came with "Happy Birthday" written on the plate with chocolate, and a candle on the sorbet. As always, the ambiance and decor is very beautiful, with portraits of Josephine Baker to honor the revolutionary badass woman. Thanks for the great birthday dinner, Chez Josephine!

I came here for dinner post showtime and my son and I over ordered but happily enjoyed everything. I think our eyes are way bigger than our stomachs. Starters: - French onion soup, au gratin, was perfect. Great onion profile and lots of it. Not overly salty so that was good. - Beef tartare, classic French bistro staple, must order this. The portion was quite generous and it was delicious. We couldn't stop eating it. The petite toasts were a nice accompaniment as well as the raddiccio salad - cheese board, IYKYK, I never met a cheese I didn't like. This board was matched with nice pairings. Think grapes, fig jam, and marcona almonds. The cheese were a classic French variety - bleu, comte and brie. For our entrees, my son opted for a sandwich and I got the steak. His croque Madame was really delicious. The bread, the ham, the baked cheese and the fried egg was so savory. Yummy. My steak was a sizeable portion but I purposely ordered the bigger ounces since I know we'd share. Fries are nice and skinny, perfectly seasoned. Our waiter was attentive and I asked for the table next to us given all the food I know we were getting. He was not sure if he could accommodate but I insisted he check with management. They came over and put it together for me. I appreciated that given a table for two, for how much we ordered, it'd never fit. Totally would return. If you like French food, this is a solid spot to try.

I myself got the Saint Jacques Grilles (scallops with risotto and porcini sauce) which to me was cooked to perfection. The scallops were buttery soft, the risotto the right texture and taste. My mother and aunt both had the steak Frites, they liked their steaks but thought the fries were a touch salty. Then came desserts and I had the crème brûlée, my aunt and mom shared the chocolate mousse, and my brother, his girlfriend and my father all had the chocolate lava cake. Out of the three: the chocolate lava cake was #1. Then chocolate mousse then crème brûlée. The restaurant dimmed the lights and had soft music on.

My sister ordered the Moules Marinieres which I think was the winner. It came with fries and a few small dishes of green beans. The Buf Bourguignon was rich and hearty. I've been craving a soufflé, and I'm not an expert but I wish I hadn't poured all the sauce in as the mariner was fairly strong and almost overpowered the soufflé in flavor. Overall, happy to support a small mom and pop business. You have to call for reservations. No resy or open table.

    We were able to get a last-minute reservation at 7p on the Sunday before Memorial Day and entered…read morewhat was a pretty empty establishment. There were only 2 other parties seated and we were seated immediately upon arrival. It's fairly dark inside and the decor reminds me a bit of New Orleans. I enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks were great! I had the cocobella while he had margaritas. The table bread was hot and fresh, so make sure they bring it to the table for you. We had the mussels for an appetizer, lamb chops and bass. EVERYTHING was excellent! The flavor of the broth for the mussels was Devine, so much so my husband used his bread to sop up all he could. The bass had great flavor and came with sautéed spinach that was well cooked. It initially looked like a small portion but turned out to be plenty. The lamb chops were cooked to the requested temp and seasoned well. We left no crumbs. This one is definitely worth a try!

    All around delicious. Super cozy, warm atmosphere and solid service…read more Loved the escargots, it was a generous portion and very flavorful full of garlic as it should. The frites were the best I've had - super thin and crunchy and the mussels were fantastic in a delicious white wine sauce and again a LARGE portion. We were left happy and full - the Bordeaux Blanc we ordered was perfect to go with it all.

    Came here a mere week after five-star my first visit, and this experience was significantly less…read morepositive. While the French Onion soup was still a stand-out dish, the painfully slow service detracted. There appeared to be a single waitress working. I didn't notice during my first visit if there were multiple servers, but the first time I did hear the waiter advise another table that the kitchen was behind and there would be a wait for food. (This didn't affect me since on my first visit I only ordered soup.) Same thing happened this time, and there was a significant delay between our soup/salad course and entrees. We were told the kitchen was backed up. this is apparently the norm. For appetizers, the French onion soup was a gold star dish. My friend had the goat cheese salad which she said was also very good. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was good, and a hard-to-find dish in NYC. While eating our entrees, the server never checked on how things were or if we needed anything. Once finished, we sat there for a long time waiting for our plates to be cleared, and finally had to "announce" that we were done and request our dessert (as we had ordered the prix fixe menu). For dessert we ordered the Dame Blanche and Profiteroles. I would recommend neither. The ice cream (in both) was poor quality, crystallized and not creamy. A real shame. In all, the meal too 2.5 hours due to the slow service. The soup remains fantastic. I'm downgrading my review to recommend this spot only for soup and salad and not a full, hours-long meal. For that, it's 5 stars, for a full meal a middling 3.
