The Delancey
Maggie B.

This is a casual, neighborhood bar. One wall is brick and the others are decorated with lovely, large canvas paintings. The windows have red velvet curtains. I came for a drink on a Tuesday night. There were only four or five other parties there. I enjoyed the Delancey cocktail which was subtle and citrusy with a flavored salt rim. They also serve food, but all the entrees looked a little pricey.

I love this cozy French places that specializes in Provençal food and small plates. We made a reservation and I advise you to as well since it's a small place. Happy hour goes to 7 and is a good deal with wine at $6 (normally $10) and some cocktails at $10 (normally $15). We started with smoked duck toasts which were AMAZING. Seriously, so much flavor! I stuck to charcuterie and was rewarded with Comte, Brie and fresh Jambon - all great. The Mister went with Beef Bourgignon and received a giant pieces of perfectly tender braised beef served with potatoes and carrots. So good! We ended with some complimentary cognac. The service was warm and hospitable and we really enjoyed chatting with madame the owner.

We swung by while waiting for a spot to open up at Attaboy. The vibe inside was a perfect neighborhood wine bar. The menu looked quite nice, although we only partaked in drinks. I didn't love my espresso martini, it didn't have a nice shaken foam, however it did the job to keep me awake through the night! I'd definitely come back to try some food!

Visited 12/2/23. First and foremost, the bartender here is AMAZING. So personable, helpful, and made the best drinks. If anything, come here for him. So bummed we missed the happy hour specials because those deals were solid. Upon arriving for our reservation, a table wasn't quite ready, but we were fine with sitting at the bar. I got the French onion soup, my sister the tomato soup/grilled cheese, and my mom the cauliflower gratin. The cauliflower was my favorite of these three as it was creamy and delicious. I would definitely be down to come back and try some of the "larger" meals, as these looked/smelled amazing.

Classics done to perfection   Cliff notes -- 10/10 would recommend, the atmosphere was fun, lively but not obnoxious. There was everyone from a birthday group, a date, and even singles sitting at the bar all enjoying their time and amazing drinks.   Lively fun small NYC spot with great energy and amazing drinks. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon this place after seeing lines at 2 local speakeasys that we were not in the mood to wait for (this is right across the street for Attaboy) and honestly could not have been happier.   We grabbed 2 seats at the bar, were quickly greeted and brought water. The bartender, Abraham, is AMAZING! He was polite, kind, gave suggestions and answered questions we had about the drinks. This man is a true artist at his craft. Every drink we had was spot on - they are all mostly classics just done to perfection. Favorites included the Delancey and French Martini (all cocktails are $15 which is pretty typical for the city).   While not super hungry, we decided to split the Beer Bourguignon - wow so tender, falls apart on your fork. Abraham brough us some bread to soak up the amazing sauce. While we didn't have them the garlic butter escargot puffs ordered next to us looked and smelled amazing   For dessert, we ordered the Caramel Burned Basque Cheese Cake. It was incredible! It had the perfect amount of sweetness which allowed the savory flavor of the cheese to come through. The slice was the perfect size, allowing us both to have 2-3 bites.

Espresso martini

I came here specifically after seeing TikTok rave about their espresso martinis being some of the best in NYC -- and they were not exaggerating! The restaurant has a charming, cozy vibe, and we sat at the bar where we were treated to absolutely delicious espresso martinis. They were perfectly balanced, smooth, and strong -- exactly what we were hoping for.

Le Basque ( the French way). Impeccable!!

Oh my what a welcome back to the normal NYC. Perfect cocktails, the very best bartender and service. Loved the French flair. Can't wait to get back .

French cuisine isn't typically my first choice but I had an amazing time here for my friend's birthday. Not to mention, our server was really nice. The escargot was addicting; I wish we got two orders of that! The lava cake had a gorgeous presentation.

Escargot - Good
Lingxiao C.

Had a rather lukewarm experience at another French restaurant the night before, but this place revived my desire for French cuisine. We shared the Duck Crostini, Escargot, Wild Mushrooms Risotto, and La Croquet Tarte Flambée. Everything was really good, especially the flambée, which to our surprise was titillatingly spicy! Eat it quickly though, else it gets soggy. The risotto was slightly dryer than my usual preference, but it still hit the spot. The ingredients of each dish really paired well together. I also had an Espresso martini, on which the bartender kindly drew a lovely heart. Service was great - everyone was super friendly. Cool decor and chill vibes, not to mention zero pretension, which for some reason seems to be a lot to ask of a French restaurant. I'd be back for sure.

Escargot
Jessica L.

Came here for dinner Friday night. Cute place with interesting painting on the wall. The escargot and tuna was good. Our entree of the beef and the surf and turf was not enough for two people. Me and my friend ordered more. The staff was super friendly. So we ordered another appetizer and entree. The octopus and shrimp entree with the foie gras appetizer. We still think the appetizers were the best part of the dinner. The entrees were disappointing. The lava cake dessert was more like a chocolate bread with tiny bit of chocolate inside. The music was a bit loud and it felt like we were in a club. Hard to hear each other. The surf and turf the scallops were warm but the pork belly on it was cold. The size of the octopus in the entree was tiny compare to the salad. Would come back for the appetizers but not the entrees.

Strike one. Too much ice in this old fashioned. Still good just watered down.

This isn't a fair 4 stars. The problem is that it's an easy 4.5 star restaurant, but not an easy 5 star nod. And if it isn't easy, does it deserve 5 stars? Maybe. Maybe the 5th star is sometimes a struggle like the perfect score in olympics gymnastics is a struggle. I'm going 4 because of how easy I find it to be 4.5 but just can't bring myself to say it was perfect. Came alone. Sat outside. Their outside patio, which looks to be a Covid expansion, is ridiculously perfect. Romantic, even though it's in the middle of a LES street. I sat by the front door though, less romantic but I was also alone and it was great. Started with a bourbon old fashioned. They make 4-bourbon, mezcal, sherry, and another. The bourbon was okay. Too much ice, and not too smooth. Honestly, it's the only reason I'm not going 5 stars. The mezcal old fashioned-my other drink-was perfect, even with the extra ice (mezcal can have extra ice). Also ordered their dragon brussel sprouts as an appetizer, and these were amazing. Top 3 brussel sprouts ive had. A hint of spice, but not overwhelming. Probably in a chili oil but it doesn't burn your mouth. Also had the duck confit entree. Just perfect. Maybe slightly over cooked but not really. Had the perfect amount of crisp to it and was otherwise moist on the inside. Tremendous flavor. Ate an entire basket of bread - and I'm gluten intolerant - by soaking up the sauces from the duck and the Brussels. It was all so good. I really wish I could give 4.5 or 4.8. Just cant. That first old fashioned was too much of a miss. Everything else was perfect, but if everything isn't perfect, can you go 5 stars?

It's a beautiful restaurant with lots of art and honestly some of the best aromas when you walk in. Staff is friendly and accommodating. But the food is not something I would sing over. The mushroom risotto was undercooked rice. It was not creamy at all. Several of us ordered that dish and my friend couldn't finish it so she gave it to her bf. I never let food go to waste so I ended up using the sauce from another dish and it made it so much better. The beef was tender but a little salty but I was told that's normal.

Got this restaurant mixed up and wrote the wrong review so here I go again. (sorry mr. owner! haha) We picked this place because it is dealing with covid really well. They have private dome seating (which is heated yassss) and the servers all wore masks, etc. The server we had was soooo funny and nice. Loved him. We went just to drink so we ordered a cheese & meat platter and some dessert. Their dessert was SO GOOD!! Creme brulee and lava cake. Both on point. We got lucky and found parking right next to our seats. The area is pretty whatever. It's in the middle of China town and there is a loud bike shop right next door. But if you want private seating with nice servers and really good dessert, this is the spot!! :)

Everyone seemed to enjoy them, suggesting one another to try this or that. The bartenders/ mixologists were on their A game. The drink menu is pretty extensive and from what I could see, our party choices ranged from wines to whisky's and several options between. The rooftop/patio was an extension of the comfortable but trendy decor. Great space for an evening, date or friend gathering. Dear Irving... well done. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Tell the bartender what flavors and spirits you're in the mood for, and let them work their magic. I gravitated toward whisky-based, chocolate, and fruit-forward cocktails, and every single one was phenomenal. My husband stuck to Old Fashioned- and Manhattan-style drinks, and those delivered too. The bartender absolutely nailed our preferences, crafting delicious cocktails tailored to our individual tastes. Getting in is part of the experience: knock on the door, and they'll let you know if there's a spot available or add you to the waitlist. We visited on a weeknight around 8:30 PM and waited barely five minutes. I'll be coming back every single time I'm in NYC. Exceptional bartending, personalized cocktails, and an experience that genuinely lives up to the hype. Do not miss Attaboy!

As we were walking out, the host/person checking IDs at the front was incredibly kind and asked us if it was just the two of us because there was space upstairs (we didn't know that was an option!) I am so thankful to them because we were able to enjoy some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The staff was incredible - they checked in with us throughout the evening, explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started with their old fashioned drinks (Lock and Key and the ash and molasses) - both were excellent. After that I tried the psycho killer (a whiskey drink with cacao nib campari, roasted banana and absinthe) - I have had absinthe in a Sazerac before, but this drink was unique and truly special. We couldn't help but get one more to share before leaving -- the Belfast Bred, a cold brew drink with a delicious cream on top. We didn't order food on this visit, but everything looked great. Highly recommend stopping here for some of the best cocktails you'll ever have.
