    Salmon Tartare

    This was our first time eating here and we will definitely return! The ambiance takes you back to Paris and embraces a traditional brasserie. It's a place where you can even take your parents to as it's not too loud and a great vibe to have a conversation. We tried restaurant week and were very pleased with our dishes. The cauliflower soup, mussels and frites were our favorites though all of it was good. The service was impressive; I drank so much water and yet my water glass was never empty.

    Hubby and I recently tried this restaurant with our friends. I wanted to try another type of French restaurant. This is a classic-looking cafe with indoor and outdoor seating areas. We didn't order appetizers and went straight for the entrees. I ordered the roasted half chicken, which was served with mashed potatoes. My chicken dish was good. Hubby had the Niçoise salad. Both dishes were very good. I thought they could do better with the chicken. It was nothing special, with a nice taste, but it was average. I expected more in terms of tenderness and flavor. Hubby's Nicoise salad was better than my chicken dish. Our waiter for the evening was Fernando (I think that's his name). He took care of our table professionally. He read the specials, but we ordered from a regular menu. I was glad to try the restaurant. I ended the evening with a cup of green tea without any desserts.

    I've enjoyed dining at Jacques brasserie many times over the past 5 years. Cozy, intimate dining experience with experienced staff, a lovely bar area and outstanding french food and curated wine list. Every third Sunday evening a French burlesque show adds a bit of excitement. This week I enjoyed the duck confit served with polenta and cranberry-pomegranate sauce, which was beautifully prepared.

    One of the places we like to frequent on the upper east side when we are in town. I was reading some of the negative reviews about service but our service was fine. No attitude from anybody, food came timely, and water glasses were full. A lot of people order the mussels and fries which seems to be a specialty here. We usually go to Flex Mussels for this type of meal. My wife had the steak and fries which she enjoyed and I had the lamb chops. Everything was cooked perfectly and very tasty. I had the chocolate soufflé for desert which was decadent. Again, one of our favorite neighborhood bistros when we are on the UES.

    Ordered delivery from here. Food fastest delicious, but $42 for 4 pieces of meat and 4 pieces of carrots and some mashed potatoes, Really??

    Service was way too slow, despite the restaurant being mostly empty. The food did not make up for the unexplained waiting. And it is expensive for what we got. The baguette is good. Ambiance is nice.

    Went here for the first time and it was pretty good. I saw mixed reviews but I'd go here again in the future. The staff was great and the food was great except the burger was. A little fry for me but was still good. We got the tartare which is my fav. The dirty martini is a must there.

    Very cozy place, found it by mistake and the night just got better. The people are very welcoming and friendly, Edgar our host was on point and the best. The food was good and tasty. Would recommend for a hideout place with great drinks and ambiance.

    See all

    Dinner was underwhelming and service was disappointing. It's not worth the money at all. The polenta was the worst I've ever had.

    My first visit was lunch today. The lentil soup of the day was wonderful! The service was efficient and the surroundings are lovely.

    Is the outdoor eating area heated? To what extent is it enclosed?

    I posted a recent photo where you can get some idea. The outdoor "shed" is enclosed on 3 sides. They did have heat lamps but on the evening we went I kept my light jacket on… Read more
