Frenchie is one of the hardest tables to get in Paris so we went to London instead. This was a dinner that IMPRESSED Everything tasted so good I devoured every bite. My absolute fav was the leek. It was so simple yet the flavor combo rly elevated it to a whole another level. The slightly charred layers of the leek and the chervil emulsion were a match made by foodie gods Another must order is the foie gras. The layers of the liver and cherry were buttery, fruity, and so delicate. Go with a lot of people so you can taste it all! Barbequed Leeks £8* Foie Gras Pressé £20* Middle White Pork £36 Lamb Ragu Parppadelle £18 Bacon Scone £4.5* Banoffee £10 파리에있는 Frenchie는 예약이 너무 빡세서 런던으로 고고! 기대했던 만큼 맛있다 최애는 대파랑 푸아그라. 두가지다 뭔가 심플하면서 조합이 넘나 맛나서 순삭. 특히 녹진한 간이랑 상콤달달한 체리를 빵에 발라서 먹을때 폴인럽!!! 여럿이 가서 다양하게 시켜먹기~ read more

Frenchie was a really enjoyable experience! We got a 2 meal set for pre-show. The mackerel was pretty good, foie grae was good but a little salty, crispy pork belly was really crispy and nice, and the fish was good with really good broccoli. They did forget the orange wine I wanted try which is sad but I'll just try it somewhere else. Overall great experience with really nice service. read more

Lovely restaurant with excellent food and atmosphere for reasonable prices in Covent Garden. 4.5 stars Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (80 pounds for tasting) Booking online: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Tasting menu: 5 courses including starter, 2 mains, and 2 desserts plus 2 nibbles to start and 2 petit fours to finish. Excited it had many items from the a la carte menu I would have chosen. - Foie gras pressé: heavenly mousse-like segments crafted into a rectangle with kumquats to delicately cut the richness. 5 stars - Monkfish: perfectly cooked piece of fish with some texture up too. Roasted cauliflower that was the co-star who stole the show. Buerre blanc was not to rich to tie it all together. 5 stars - Lamb saddle: I'm not typically a lamb fan, but this meat had a soft beef short rib like texture without any gamey-ness which I enjoyed. Accompaniments didn't complement the protein as much as I'd like however. 4 stars - Parmesan gougères: large orbs which surprisingly burst with a liquidy orange cheese sauce inside. 4 stars. - Rhubarb Prosecco sorbet with basil oil: light palate cleanser. 3.5 stars - Banoffee: a pillowy light almost foam-like orb with bits of banana and pecans hidden inside. I'm not a banana person but it wasn't too strong of a flavor here. 3.5 stars - Bacon scones: good texture and not dry, however with the glaze on top waw a bit too sweet for me so definitely needed the clotted cream to cut that. 3 stars - Atmosphere: modern and lively with some bar seating on the side and few tables up top and few tables and small kitchen below. White walls and lamps surround and few cow pictures hung up to give it an approachable feel. Midlight: - Specialty gin cocktail: had fruit and earl grey served in a tall glass and was sweeter than I anticipated. 3 stars Lowlight: - Lamb accompaniments: the artichoke, olives in the jus, and purées overpowered the dish a bit. Not so bad, but being picky needing to pick a lowlight to include. Thoroughly enjoyed this meal, decor, and vibe and would love to return. read more

Great food, service and vibe here. Highly recommend it. Front of house staff did an amazing job with flow and attentiveness with excellent food and wine knowledge. read more

Came here for brunch, and it was every bit as good as the dinner. We the bacon scones, the gazpacho, the sea bream carpaccio, the crab tagliolini, and the lobster roll. These were all incredible -- if I have any regrets, it's that we didn't order more. (We were stuffed at the end, and heading to the airport straight after, otherwise we probably would have.) There are some places where it just feels like no matter what you order, it's going to be among the best you've had of that kind of dish. This place has that feel. If there's a better restaurant in London, I haven't found it. read more

I entered "French restaurant" in the Yelp search field since this is my first time in London, and this was the first restaurant to pop up. I was too jet-lagged to read reviews, so I took a chance and made a same day reservation...one of the best decisions I've made in London! Firstly, the staff were amazingly nice and helpful. I had requested a nice and quiet table for our 10-year anniversary, and they saved me a corner high-top away from thru-traffic. They were all smiles the entire time. We decided to have the tasting menu (didn't do the wine pairing). Everything was superb! Things that I usually don't eat, e.g. scones, pork, rhubarb? Excellent choices! The bacon scone was a perfect mixture of warm saltiness and sweetness baked in a delightful breading that called for the butter to be smeared on it. The oysters had a great flavor that enhanced the freshness. The capers on the greens blended exquisitely with the lemony and crispy bass. I was so happy to eat such amazing food that was served by such attentive staff. Just when I was a bit saddened it was over, they brought out the last dessert and an extra one from the chef to help us celebrate our special day. Thank you, Frenchie, for making it a memorable dining experience! read more

Frenchie Covent Garden - French Near Me - London, XGL

Really good restaurant - near opera house - many theaters and Covent Garden - in the midst of a whole lot of lousy joints this is an oasis of good chow read more

The food, ambiance, and service here are all excellent. It's just a tad bit expensive for the portion sizes, but all in all, a fantastic restaurant and I'd come back here again. I want to come back and try the lunch menu which is more affordable than the dinner. I'd give this 4 to 4.5 stars - the quality of the food, ingredients, and plating is all wonderful, and it's a great place but it's expensive. Some dishes are a hit-or-miss, but I still enjoyed the overall experience and would come back for a date or a nice dinner with my parents. We started with the bread and butter (£2.5) which was a little bit pricey since there are 4 small slices, but the bread is warm, fresh, and delicious. I live in France, and the bread at nice restaurants is always included, so it stinks you have to pay for bread here, but at least it's good bread! Bacon Scones (£4) - We loved these, they were small scones, maybe a tad bit smaller than a racquetball, but they were really fresh, savory, and overall indulgent and delicious. I would recommend these as an appetizer. If you have 4 people in your party, maybe get two orders of these so everyone can have one, since they are not that large. Raviolis (£18) - They had smoked potatoes, lobster, and served with a lobster bisque on top. Like most fancy restaurants, when you order ravioli, you'll get one or two pieces of ravioli. These had 3, which was a pleasant surprise, but for the price, you're basically paying £6 per ravioli (yay, I can do math). It's a bit pricey for a dish of pasta, I'd rather just go to an Italian restaurant. But the filling inside had a lot of lobster and it was tasty. Just not sure I'd get this again if I came because it was good, but not mind-blowing, and expensive. Salsify Tagliatelle (£16) - I looked at the word tagliatelle and immediately assumed it was pasta, but I should have googled it because Salsify is a root vegetable like a parsnip. This was a spiralized vegetable dish with white cheddar sauce and a perfectly cooked egg yolk. I may have preferred pasta, but I suppose the vegetables balanced out the creamy cheese sauce. I found the cheese a bit overpowering to the dish and probably wouldn't recommend this. Ibaiama Pork (£26) - This was my favorite dish of the night. I don't normally like eating pork, but the meat was prepared perfectly - it was tender, juicy, and the chickpeas on the side and plating was perfect. I would highly recommend this dish. I was sad when I was done eating this! This is what we ordered for 2 people and it was about £38 per person, which felt a little bit pricey given that we didn't order drinks or dessert and some of the dishes were a bit small. Overall, I'd still come back here again. This is a great spot if you're traveling for work and can expense your meal, or if you want to treat yourself or a special someone to a nice dinner. Best dishes of the night were the bacon scones and the pork. read more

Frenchie Covent Garden - Agnolotti - French Near Me - London, XGL

I have to admit its been a very long time since I actually enjoyed French food but Frenchie really did it for me!! We shared a few starters: Grilled octopus: it was grilled to perfection and the greek yoghurt and pickled gherkin was just delicious. Scottish mussels: honest to god it was the best mussels Ive had in my entire life so far (and Im from Belgium ) the curried sauce was just so silky and smooth I would have eaten them over and over. Duck foie gras: quite classic combination but really tasty and I really like the pickled girolles We share a main: Ibaiama pork: it was just cooked to perfection, the pork was tasty and moist! The aubergine and zataan puree were really good but the goat cheese and date puree just didnt work altogether it just tasted as 2 separate dishes. As a "dessert" we had cocktails : pink pepper negroni and something is the new orange (sorry I cant remember the exact name) To my surprise the cocktails were very good. I loved Frenchie and totally understood why Timeout already put it on is top 100 restaurant in London although it just opened in early 2016 (if Im not mistaken) I just want to go back read more

Frenchie Covent Garden is a great new addition to the London restaurant scene with tasty and inventive dishes, served in a light, friendly and unpretentious environment. When I was in Paris last summer, I had a great pulled pork sandwich at Frenchie To Go. So I was happy when I read that they wanted to bring Frenchie to London. The London outpost is next to the excellent steak restaurant Flat Iron in Covent Garden. It is good to see two new places that are so different on one street. I really liked the clean, simple, kind of minimalist but polished design. Dominated by light colours, white walls, grey leather and metal tables, the style feels a little bit scandi-esque. Which is always a good thing. The menu is short and seasonal. Unfortunately, you cannot lookup beforehand what's on. Being a bit picky, I usually mostly avoid going to such places. However, given that I liked Frenchie To Go in Paris, I thought I should check out the London branch anyway. Like the menu, the wine list also isn't very long, and I thought it is perhaps weaker than expected especially when it comes to the whites. The dry Italian white that was recommended to me, "Contra Vespa 12" it says on the receipt - I guess it means something like 2012 Contra Soarda Vespaiolo from Veneto, Italy - was not as dry as I had hoped. It had a distinctive taste, quite a lot of fruit and some flowers. The menu is concise and really exquisit. After discussing briefly with the waitress, I ordered duck eggs with black truffle as starter. I must admit, the black truffle did not do too much for me. What made the dish for me was the perfectly boiled eggs, smooth in texture, soft, but not runny, in combination with seeds that added a nice crunch. The bread arrived with the starter, exactly two slices, I think one was slightly darker than the other. Both had a great, solid crust and were very soft inside. The butter was revealed with a somewhat theatrical move, which was entertaining. But even better, the butter tasted very nice. Continuing with the waitress' recommendations, my main was chicken with, I believe, heritage carrots and kumquats. The fruity, not-too-sweet sauce was great, the kumquat - kind of like mini orange slices - interesting together with the sweet carrots. When I ordered, I was surprised that there are really no sides on the menu. As I got my plate, I was happy with the portion. I would not have minded one side dish, but it was not actually needed. Clearly, the chicken was the undisputed star of he dish. It was quite a large piece of chicken, smooth and juicy and probably just about the most delicious chicken piece I can remember. And after I had already liked the roasted seeds in the starter, they made a crunchy return in the main, very welcome. Because the white wine left me a little bit disappointed, I browsed the wine list and had a closer look at the reds. I got myself a glass of the 2013 "La Luna" Pinot Noir from New Zealand and enjoyed it a lot. It tasted like a very typical Pinot Noir, light, with a certain depth to it, and not sweet. After consulting the menu again, I decided to conclude my dinner with a French Laguiole cheese. The thin slice with crackers was delicious together with the Pinot Noir. The cheese reminded me of the Spanish Manchego - no idea if they are actually similar, however, my palate thinks so. Frenchie Covent Garden does outstanding, interesting food in a light, modern restaurant. If you get a table downstairs in the basement, you could also go for a tasting menu with wine pairings and watch the chefs doing their thing in the open kitchen. While watching chefs in the kitchen is always fun, I was pretty happy to get a place upstairs. There were some little things, where the restaurant could perhaps improve. As the London branch is just open for a week or two, I should probably not be too harsh. I found it a little bit irritating that they took the fork I used for my starter, but kept the knife on the table. Maybe the concept actually is to keep fork and knife and I just didn't get it. Then, there was an eternal wait between the small starter and the well-sized main. And even for central London, the pricing ranges from fair (main) via ambitious (starter) to outrageous (cheese). Overall, Frenchie in Covent Garden is without a question worth a visit. As the menu changes regularly, you never know what will be on offer. But if they always have a range of vegetarian, fish and meat dishes, it should be possible for most people to find something they like. And an ever-changing menu also signals that they keep thinking about their dishes which can lead to more exciting creations than at your average steakhouse or gastro pub. read more

Hit and miss. The good was amazing. The bad was generally too salty. See my pics for the winners and lovers. I'd go back to eat the good again. Staff were friendly and service was pretty good but the seating upstairs was super cramped. It looked much more spacious downstairs so try and request a seat downstairs. read more

Food - 4* Service - 4* Ambience - 4* Value for money - 4* We originally reserved seats at the bar counter, but was offered a table downstairs which had views of the open kitchen. Overall, the restaurant decor is very smart and modern. The ambience downstairs was warm and comfortable, served by a French waitress who was immediately friendly and enthusiastic. We opted for the tasting menu, which started off with a couple of hors d'oeuvres, including a fried salmon skin which was nice and crispy to tease your palate. The starter was foie gras with rhubarb that goes very well with the bread, although the rhubarb made the dish slightly too sour. The second fish course , Arctic char glazed in a coat made of seaweed and wild garlic, was almost too beautiful to eat. The fatty fish was balanced well with the accompanied drops of smoked yoghurt, miso and bergamot. For mains, we had perfectly cooked lamb from Elwy Valley, served with slightly underdone artichoke and goats curd, which complements the lamb extremely well. Last but not least, the lemon dessert coated with kalamata olives and rosemary mix, with shards of crunchy meringue was the perfect combination of sweet, yet refreshing and fresh. Overall, a uniquely presented tasting menu, although not completely French, the international ingredients definitely worked well. read more

Came here before going to see Kinky Boots at the theatre nearby. The food was good, not very big portions, the menu seemed a bit hoity-toity but I think that's what kind of modern-type vibe they are aiming for. If they had some more options or the menu was available online beforehand, and lowered their price to match the portions a little better, I would definitely be back! Friendly hosts and servers. We tried a type of goat cheese spread for an appetizer also and it was delicious! Pictured is the Hake dish. read more

Frenchie Covent Garden - French Near Me - London, XGL

Amazing - almost every bite - was brilliant. Had the bacon scones and the crab. It was perfect balance of flavors and textures. For main course, one had the ravioli which was good but not amazing. The other had the duck with lentils - loved the variation between crunchy and cooked lentils as well as the sweet potatoes. The only challenge was the knives given - beyond dull and the table was so wobbly it became almost comical. Took the recommendation for their signature dessert. It was tasty read more

Excellent food and decor. Stumbled across this gem walking back to our hotel from the theatre. I had a fish dish that was perfectly prepared and complimented with an amazing salad of sorts. Not only was it delicious- it was beautiful! Such a pleasant experience devouring scrumptious and delectable art!! read more

We celebrated a wedding anniversary at Frenchie Covent garden and we had a lovely evening. We went with the tasting menu and it was good, some parts were excellent. The produce was of very high and even quality. Some of the courses was very well composed, especially the Deer and the John Dory, others was merely good such as the chestnut and ice cream dessert. The service was not bad, but from time to time a bit uninspired and lacked the small touches that makes for a great experience. The pairings with the recommended wines where consistently underwhelming, although the sommelier made charming presentation complete with a thick french accent. On their own the wines was delicious, but the matches could have been much better. read more

We had the tasting menu without the wine selection (we ordered or own bottles). The service is nice and friendly. The five course menu was really delicious, although a bit slow (but we were many!) Dessert was slightly disappointing compared to the rest. They had vegetarian alternatives for the tasting menu which is great! It helps that meat/fish is not so central to their varied tastes and textures. Portions are small but adding it all up, it's sufficient for lunch. It's pricey but a nice place to go for a celebration or romantic meal! read more

I have eaten at Frenchie's wine bar in Paris and loved it. I read that Frenchie had opened in Covent Garden and I took my foodie cousin who was visiting to try it with me. We started with the Cornish crab which was light and flavorful. I liked the lemon accent as it gave it some freshness to the dish. We split the grilled octopus which was delicious. I had the turbot as my main. It was accompanied by some cockles and a kaffir lime beurre blanc. We also split the Mont Blanc with Yuzu ice cream dessert. Yummy. All dishes were very well prepared and light. Nothing was too heavy or overpowering. The service was excellent. The waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. All around a great meal - from the atmosphere, service to the amazing food. Put this place on your list of must tries. read more

This is a cute small restaurant in Covent Garden. It's got amazingly played dishes that are delicious as well. The venison ragu pappardelle is savory and hearty. The servers are attentive knowledgable and speedy. I would certainly return to try other dishes. read more

Frenchie's menu is simple whereby the lunch menu is offered in either a 2 course for £22 or 3 course for £28. The Lincolnshire smoked eel served with roasted cabbage, buckwheat and kale. The combinations of all the ingredients went well, with the green balancing well with the lovely smokey flavour of the eel. My only criticism is there was not enough eel compared to the greens. I thought my smokey eel was the best starter compare to the Spring Leek with pickled shittake and rancio vinaigrette that a friend ordered. But it was intriguing to see how you can turn a spring leek to an interesting dish. For main course I had the lamb ragu papdelle with kalamata olives and espelette. Seeing pasta your probably wouldn't link it to be a French dish. Nevertheless the dish was nicely cooked with the papdelle cooked to al dente. A main dish that I would had liked to had as my own was the Linconshire chicken with Jerusalem artichoke and meyer lemon. This dish really took a love with my tastebuds. The chicken was really moist and the flavour of this dish reminded me of trips in France. Overall I was really impressed with food and the service at Frenchie. Each dish was beautifully presented. I thought the portion size for two courses was just about right for lunch. Although I could had a dessert if I had more time. read more

Delicious, nice service and great food. Remember Salsify is a root vegetable not pasta. If it was real tagliatelle it would have been better. read more

We were lucky to get two seats at the bar without a reservation. I would definitely make a reservation next time. The White Asparagus with quail eggs, Bacon Scone with clotted cream (which is 10,000 times better than it sounds) Pighead Croquettes and Smoked Sea Bream Carpaccio were all outstanding. The Bacon Scone was so good we ordered another. A lovely place with lovely staff and some nice gins too! read more

The food is worth 5 stars. The bacon scone, clearly a popular dish, was great, lots of fun and very tasty. The crab toast also excellent. I believe the menu changes quite regularly but I don't think you can really go wrong with anything. The duck my wife ate was probably the best i've ever had, cooked perfectly, crispy skin. My lamb ragu was lovely, lots of flavour, texture and a decent portion for a starter size. Our squid and asparagus also splendid. All very well presented and served promptly. However I just think it's a bit overpriced. They've taken what is a cool, laid back restaurant in Paris and gone London with it, i.e made it a scene and overcharged people. £27 for a hangar steak is out of order for a cheap cut of beef, £14 a squid starter with 3 pieces? The sommelier suggested two white wines, which at £10 per glass, were average at best, completely washed out by our food choice. He did however pull a lovely South African red, £38 a bottle tho so not cheap. He was polite and generally helpful. The rest of the service was fine, maybe a little over zealous...on more than one occasion they tried to clear the table when we weren't finished. I suppose if it was the other way around i'd get annoyed. However there weren't loads of people waiting for tables. The interior is very a la mode but the finish not as good as you'd expect for a restaurant claiming to be one of the best in town at the moment. £175 for 2 nibbles, 3 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert, 1 bottle red, 4 glasses white. Not cheap, wine didn't help tho I appreciate. Hangover today. Would recommend trying but I won't go back. read more

5* experience From the warm welcome by the host to the exciting atmosphere, knowledgable waiter to the seriously scrummy food. It was a perfect evening. I highly recommended the maple syrup bacon scones with clotted cream. (It was so good we ordered a second round) I'll defiantly be returning! read more

Monday night backup chef? I hope so. This is a nice intimate spot with what was the most disappointing $100+ meal per person I've had in London. Sat at the bar with a lovely wait staff who seemed interestedand attentive. Ordered a glass of prosecco which was flat, it was explained to me that it had been 'opened that day' and was supposed to be like that. Exchanged it for a delicious glass of wine and started with a tiny bacon scone which was delicious. Downhill from there. The fois gras was a beautiful presentation but what should have been a light sprinkling of fresh horseradish was liberally applied and overpowering. Cleared most of it off and managed to enjoy the terrine and beets and brioche but at 18 quid this was a mishandled dish. Followed with the pasta with a lamb ragu and bbq leeks because they both sounded interesting. Lamb and tagliatelle was tough and overly salted, seemed like the victim of a microwave reheat. Literally could not cut through some pieces. Leek looked beautiful but had a bit of a chemical flavor - maybe a brûlée gone off? Both concepts were good but execution failed. Not being a perfectionist - they simply were not appealing to eat. Asked for the bill, paid, no one inquired about more than half the food being uneaten. I tried Frenchie because of the good reviews so perhaps this was Monday night backup staff. But for a place of this supposed caliber and at this price it deserves delicious food in addition to a chic staff and nice setting. read more

The food and service at Frenchie are first rate but as lots of reviews have noted the portions really are microscopic. My big beef though was the space. It's a narrow restaurant but at this price point it's a bridge too far to seat people on high chairs up against a wall or around a bar. Such a casual setting really brings down the great food and service. Overall disappointing. read more

I would give it 3.5 stars, if I could. The food is generally good. It's the kind of contemporary french food that you can easily find in Paris at a reasonable price, but for some reason, in London it is rare AND expensive. The staff seemed all french, which is fine, but if you're going to offer 'french-style' everything, I think you should offer the bread basket for free. I was slightly offended that they charged for the bread basket. A friend of mine who's lived in London for quite a while says this is "normal" for London, but I just could not wrap my head around this. The dishes barely have any carbs in them, there is no alternative (like rice) on the menu, so isn't it a given that people would want to eat bread?? To me it just feels like a cheap tactic to get more money out of our wallet. The overly friendly (almost American-style friendly!) waitress was a bit of a shock, too. And no wonder she was overly friendly because there was a 12.5% service fee already added to our bill. Again, my London friends tell me this is more of the norm now in London. But really, assuming that you already deserve the one eighth of our bill for your 'service' is really a bit arrogant and puts the customers in a tough spot if the service was less than worthy of the 12.5% (You end up looking like a prick or cheapskate since you have to ASK them to take it off or reduce it, and then they have to print out another bill etc. etc.) I'm not sure I would go back. The original branch in Paris, too, is ok but not THAT great. (You can find comparable places easily in Paris.) I think they did a wonderful job at PR. I think I will look for some alternative french places in South Kensington when i'm back in London... I still can't get over the shock of being charged for bread! read more

I called on Saturday night, 2/26/22 to attend to grab a drink and I was told they were still open and when I went to your restaurant the front desk guy called the manager and he asked me "are You okay" in a hasty manner. Then I said "excuse me" and he said again "are you okay" now in a very rude way. Funny thing is I was there a few nights before as I was staying at the Strand visiting for work from NY. Whoever that manager was working at your establishment on Saturday was very rude and racist- the way he looked at me dead in my eyes with no background knowledge of whether I called or not or if I was given the correct information for open hours, he looked at me with disgust, the first night I had a great time actually when I visited the bar. Asking me if I was okay is such manner when all I did was called before coming to your restaurant is beyond humiliating. I went next door instead. How can someone work in customer service and yet be so rude? Very disappointed as I read about the restaurant and put it on my list to visit as I was staying close by. But aside from disappointment, this is not what a top rated restaurant's service should be like. Instead of feeling welcoming I was not. I would not go back to your restaurant and I will never recommend it. read more

Our group of 4 had an amazing dinner here during our visit to London this past week. We ordered most of the first courses and second courses to share between the four of us, as well as the pork crackling starter and the chocolate mousse and banoffee pie desserts. We had had a late lunch, but everything was so tasty that I forgot I wasn't that hungry and greedily devoured everything. The highlights for me were the green gazpacho, ricotta tortellini, turbot in lemon sauce and banoffee pie, though the pigeon and lamb mains were also delicious. I was particularly impressed by how light everything was, even things like pasta and mains. This is not to say that they skimped on portion size - I left feeling very full and satisfied, and ready to return on my next visit to London! read more

We cannot sing enough praises to do this place justice... It has simply incomparable food and service!

The food we had was: - the mussels - bacon scones - lamb ragu pasta - guinea fowl - turbot - fruit baba - chocolate with bacon ice cream For the final price (including alcohol), this place was definitely worth the price and our time. We will be coming back and dreaming of the food until then...! read more

A perfect experience from start to finish. Really impressed w/ the staff and outstanding authentic gourmet French food.

I will not be recommending Frenchie to friends in London or those visiting the city and I hope the restaurant improves its service and quality. After hearing of this restaurant from a friend, I made a reservation during a recent trip to London as a post-Marathon celebratory dinner for local Londoners and visiting friends running the marathon. Unfortunately, given the marathon's heat (and need to recover following the run), I was unable to go to my original reservation. After a 10-15 minute discussion, the restaurant reluctantly changed my dinner reservation to a lunch reservation a couple days later, but this exploited several problems. - No acknowledgement or flexibility -- Given OpenTable's 24-hour adjustment rule, we tried to call the restaurant to discuss our need to cancel or change the reservation for a dinner later in the week. However, the restaurant was only open during 2 hours for lunch (during the height of the marathon) and did not open until 5pm, 2 hours before my scheduled reservation. When we finally connected with the hostess or other employee, it took 10-15 minutes to see if they could accommodate a change. - The change was not a like-for-like exchange. My party had hoped to go to dinner; however, the employee said this would not be possible later in the week. However, when I looked at OpenTable, there were available reservations. The restaurant would simply not accommodate the ask, and given the OpenTable restrictions on timing, I could not adjust the reservation so not to be assessed the cancellation penalty. Likewise, my OpenTable reservation was never changed in the system to outline a lunch, so I could not make future adjustments via the online tools, either. - Lunch schedule - when the original party could no longer make the trip, given travel schedules and unknown work changes, the restaurant refused to accommodate an alternate plan, would not reschedule, and said the original cancellation charge would be put through. When asked if we could lower the # of people in our party to accommodate those able to attend, this was also not acceptable. The restaurant said that we would be charged for a 5-person cancellation. - The manager refused to speak to me when I asked to discuss the situation. I could leave my phone number for them to "try to" call back, but no guarantees. Frenchie's may have wonderful food (or so I'm told - still haven't eaten here), but so do dozens of other restaurants in the city. I will be sending friends and family to those other restaurants. I hope the restaurant takes this opportunity to re-evaluate its customer service, communication, and policies. read more

From start to finish this place is an experience. The waiters and waitresses are fantastic. The food impeccable. I had sea bream tartare. Cod in legumes and wild mushrooms. And for dessert a fig tart. Everything was amazing. A meal to remember. Only thing I regret is on the way out I saw many bottles of pappy van winkle on the bar case. If I had known. I would have ordered. Maybe a spirits menu handed out with the set menus. When in London again I will go back. Just save me a pour of bourbon. Neat please. read more
