    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.

    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.

    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!

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request.

Ravioli- This is a light, seasonal dish with pumpkin, brown butter, and sage. The sauce complements the sweet pumpkin and the brown butter adds a nuttiness.

(How are all of these people living so high on the hog, without a care in the world?!) We were escorted off to a little tucked-away enclave near the back, but the restaurant was just too boisterous and we had to shout just to talk to people at the other end of the table. We got our menus and there was a bit of 'sticker shock' on my part, I can't lie. "We're in NYC, what did you expect?" - the Mrs. whispered when she saw my eyes go wide. But $38 for chicken parm? (Which is what I went with after seeing it had its own little "parm-fection" hype on the menu.) And $36 for the Branzino (which consisted of one fillet on a small bed of wilted spinach)? Our table dabbled all over the place and for the most part everyone really enjoyed their meals. The food they're knocking out is legit, for sure. But the bill came out to over $60 a person (including the tip, but we didn't have apps or dessert and half of us just had water), which hurts when you're a cheap-o like myself. Our waitress was awesome (and she didn't even seem fazed when I tried to rattle her that we were going to split the check onto nine different credit cards... but we only used one). And Bryant Park (right across the street) was the perfect nightcap on a lovely spring evening.
