Nothing but consistency in quality here. The $1.50 oysters today were from Moonlight Bay in Barnstable at the Cape and were very good. We came for our usual delight and were not disappointed. Our dishes being my crispy confit chicken (on mash with jus), and the branzino with eggplant -- which had such an excellent sear on the skin. Service with water, change of plate/silverware always impeccably done. No wonder it's one of my fav restaurants in the West Village. read more

The atmosphere is cozy - date night bar. What did we order: -18 oysters - Hugo spritz (7/10) just wasnt sweet enough for us - dirty martini 10/10 would order again The service was fast and efficient! I'd return for a drink but not for the food. The oysters were very very small! Overall; If you need a place for a date night or just casually going around the city. This is a great place to start your night read more

Just another comfortably elegant French restaurant that modernizes classics. The tartare was perfect served with lettuce and crackers. Three of us ordered duck that came with a nod to the classic orange sauce. The birthday mousse au chocolat was almost as nice as the voices of the staff who joined my colleagues in song. As we were leaving, the people at the bar were so warm and friendly we almost stayed for another drink. read more

Had a great birthday dinner in L'Accolade's back garden. A tight but adorable space in the back, great for an early spring night. Service was good, a bit slow towards the end when we wanted to check out but nothing terrible. We asked for wine suggestions as the wine menu was (literally) a book, there was no sommelier and the manager was going to come by. We were able to decide before he got to us and were thrilled with our decision. The manager ended up bringing us a couple glasses of bubbly as an apology, an unnecessary but lovely surprise. We liked our meals though they weren't truly filling. The menu didn't have as many options as I had seen online and wasn't separated between appetizers and entrees. We got the crispy chicken and the honey harissa carrots. The carrots were honestly phenomenal but were really more of a side dish despite being listed amongst the meals. read more

L'Accolade is a really lovely spot with attentive, polished service and a calm, cozy vibe. The honey glazed carrots are outstanding and easily the highlight of the meal. Everything else has been more hit or miss for me. On my second visit, the food felt noticeably more average than the first. The beef tartar in particular tasted a little off, though I did appreciate the generous amount of quail eggs. I still enjoy the experience here and the staff does a great job. I just wish the rest of the menu consistently matched how strong that one dish is. read more

L'Accolade - cosmopolitans / dirty martinis - French Near Me - New York, New York

As far as cute West Village restaurants go, L'Accolade is above average. It ticks the boxes for ambience (cozy and quaint), service (friendly and French) and food (tasty and interesting). Plus, if you come by for Happy Hour (which runs until 7pm), you can actually save some moolah. How about that? We indulged in a dozen $1.50 HH raw oysters (which you can get with a required purchase of glasses of wine at $14 each). The oysters were large and chilled, as fresh as one could ask for on an urban island. The Hiramasa Crudo was a zesty and generously portioned slice of summer seafood, while the Beef Carpaccio was a heartier and even more genersouly portioned red meat counterpart. The addition of bottarga and castelvetrano olives was a particularly nice touch. Entree-wise, you can't go wrong with either the fork-tender Branzino Grenobloise or the lavish Barbecue Braised Beef Paleron, which comes loaded with white cheddar grits, braised collard greens, pickled fresno, spiced pecans. Not that I'm complaining, but I don't quite get how that's at all French? Oh well. L'Accolade is the kind of reliable neighborhood spot that knows its audience and doesn't punch above its weight. In a city saturated with try-hards and wannabes, that's just plain refreshing. read more

Great service from Valentine. Love the vibe of this place. Wonderful cocktail and beautiful bottle of Bourgueil. Hiramasa, trout dip and mussels - amazing. Kale salad was vey good but kale could have been massaged a little more and smaller roasted sweet potato bites with some more flavorful dressing. Branzino is really good, add a little cumin and it would be spectacular. read more

Loved our dining experience here. Beautiful modern ambience and lighting. Outdoor patio was also so cute, sadly they didn't have any table there. Service was great, our servant was nice, attentive but also gave us space to enjoy your meal. Food came out a bit slow but it's European and I appreciate they didn't rush us through our meal & kick us out. But our drinks also took awhile to arrive... - Sprit Frais and Gin&Tonic: both good. - Hiramasa Crudo: fresh & tasty - Pork chop: great flavor, perfectly cooked. - Pekin duck breast: loved it! The duck was cooked perfectly. The sides just added so much more flavor and texture to the meal, it was an overall well balanced and tasty dish. - Dessert (banana cream something): was just ok, could skip it. read more

This is my second time here and both times the food was delicious. This time we came a bit earlier and we made it for happy hour. We had the oysters - fresh and briny, mushroom risotto arancini - not much mushroom taste, cheese plate and Boquerones - anchovies were good and briny. For appetizer we had the seared scallop which was delicious. Tender and perfectly seasoned. Tuna crudo and beef tartar was also delicious. For the main we shared the beef strip loin and the Salmon. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. For dessert we ordered the chocolate mousse. My daughter loved it but she do say she did not taste the raspberry that was listed on the menu. Service throughout the meal was superb. Overall a great meal and I would definitely be back. read more

Not Asian friendly unless accompanied by white friends ‍ The food was really good, portion was very small, and the service was horrible. [Food] We ordered Pappardelle, Honey & Harissa Glazed Carrots, and two of their cocktail drinks from the menu. There were two pricing option for Pappardelle ($22/$28) and we ordered the $28 entree one. Despite paying for the main dish, the portion of Pappardelle was surprisingly very small. We still really enjoyed pappardelle and the drinks. The Glazed Carrots were good too but nothing special. Everything was going well with the foods, but the terrible service made our good dining experience to not wanting to come back here again. [Service] We were welcomed by host and seated in very corner of the restaurant even though there were many 2 people seatings available. We both thought it was odd being seated in the corner even though there were empty seatings but did not think much of it. Our 2 main dishes (pasta & carrots) and drinks came out first then our complimentary appetizer breads came out when we were already eating the main dish. That didnt bother us much thinking maybe they have forgotten about it. Throughout the whole dining, the blonde European server with high ponytail kept interrupting us to ask if we wanted to order more and if she can take away our dishes. I wouldn't mind if this happened 2 or 3 times but she constantly came by--more than 5 times at least--when we were clearly still eating and having conversations. The server was very disruptive and we felt rushed the whole time. Fyi there were no people waiting and half of the dining hall was empty; available for people to dine. I thought maybe it was because it was close to their closing time and as a person who've worked in food industry before, i know how it feels to close the dining hall. However, when I checked the time on photos, it was 7:52 when the main dishes came out and 9:34 when I took picture of the check before leaving this restaurant. They close at 11pm. it means that the server started to rush us from 8:40~9:00ish which is more than 1hr 30 minutes away from their closing time. There were also 5 tables still dining, some of which were here even before us. On top of that when we got our check the pen wasn't working so ive called the other server who was assisting us too asking if i could get new pen to sign. He snatched the pen out of my hand and scribbled over the postcard they handout and told me it worked and left. However when i tried on receipt paper again, it still didn't work and called him again for assistance. Thats when he yelled at me saying it didnt work because i was not writing on top of the postcard paper and on top of table instead. Really didn't appreciate the unnecessary attitude because he never took time to explain whats wrong with the pen too. I hope these details on our service experience help people out whether deciding to dine here or not. read more

Really enjoyed my dinner at this restaurant. The happy hour oysters are a great deal if you like oysters, and though I don't eat them, my friend said they were perfectly shucked (he liked them so much, he single-handedly ate 24!) The happy hour bone marrow was delectable- with chimichurri sauce and jam, as well as warm crusty olive bread. The arancini I would skip- it was lacking in salt and just tasted like a mushy flavorless rice ball.. the only dish I really didn't like. The beef tartare was excellent- love the smoke in the glass dome, and the Parmesan crisps it came with. They really give it something extra Scallop appetizer- they were perfectly cooked and atop something delicious as well. Maybe a bit too much sweet for me in this dish with the jam and bacon, but at least it was packed with flavor and interesting. The squid ink spaghetti with uni butter, shrimp and calamari was wow. Definitely one of my favorite dishes of the evening. I would order it as an entree, it was so perfect. I'd skip the corn crème brûlée dessert though- it was too sweet for my liking (though I love the idea). It would have been better if they torched sprinkled sugar over the top like traditional creme brûlée before serving, the popcorn on top was a little soggy/stale tasting and it might be because it was cold/the temperature. Overall- I'm really impressed with their flavors and textures. The chef clearly thinks about all of the essential components of a cohesive, flavorful, exciting dish. Most of the dishes had great balance, as well as visual appeal! Service was friendly, and ambiance was romantic/charming. I would love to go again! read more

We arrived early for Happy hour and oysters ($1.50) with a group of 5. We dined here previously so we know what to expect. Were seated near the bar. I guess it was a good thing we arrived early, our servers were extremely attentive and courteous. We had 2dz oysters, cheese plate of the day, mushrooms risotto, roasted scallop, tuna crudo, hand cut beef tartare, for appetizers. All the appetizers were very good, the exception was the mushroom risotto, we all felt it was la king mushrooms flavor and some kind of sauce as it was a bit dry. Dor main course we shared beef strip loin and farmers salmon. Unexpectedly the salmon turned out to be the better dish, the pea sauce paired so well with the flavor of the salmon, while the beef was good but not as good as the salmon. We were celebrating a bday, but we we really didnt see any items on the dessert menu that called our attention. So we only order 1 dessert so we could sing happy bday for the family picture. Had a great time, great service and everyone agreed the food was very good. read more

Really great spot for happy hour. We were able to grab the two seats by the window overlooking a cute little street market. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. The structure of the restaurant is cute, especially the bar area. The happy hour menu is actually pretty big for happy hour and the prices are great. Except for the starred wines (make sure to look for this), they are all $13/glass and were delicious. We also got the cheese of the day, which was a delicious Camembert. Finally, the oysters were pretty cheap and the mignonette was great. We would love to come back to try more of the menu! read more

Cute neighborhood spot with a great happy hour at the bar. Came here on a Wednesday night with a friend at around 6:15 pm and there was plenty of space at the bar. We ordered a couple of different cocktails and food items from the happy hour menu. For food we got a dozen oysters, arancini, and anchovies (ask for a side of bread!). All the food was solid and I thought the oysters were pretty good quality for the price. Drinks-wise, they have a $10 martini on HH and it slaps. Definitely one of the best deals in the city. You can also get wines and cocktails at $14 which is nothing to sneeze at. I would say around 6:30 the place got a lot more busy and at one point, all of the seats were taken. However, it seems like turnover is pretty fast so you probably wouldn't have to wait for too long? The bartenders were also friendly and you can tell there's a set of regulars. Definitely gonna come back here when the mood strikes or I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Food 8/10 A hidden gem in the WV, it was empty when I came in for lunch, but slowly filled up later in the afternoon. The complimentary bread was quite fire, there were two varieties and a delicious butter. We ordered the avo toast and salmon croissant, and the ending bill was not outrageous at all, considering the location.

Service 9/10 Super friendly service. read more

Very good modern and inventive French food. Happy for runs generously until 7pm so we tried the arancini which our kids loved but which was probably otherwise the most forgettable dish of the evening. Both the Pierre Andre and Pamplemousse cocktails were excellent, with the latter benefiting from a smoking rosemary branch. Happy hour oysters are a ridiculous deal and were small and being (our favorite style) so we downed a quick half dozen. The tartare comes in a little smoke dome and was excellently executed, one of the best we've had. The scallop appetizer was similarly excellent being paired with a kind of tangy bacon jam and cauliflower puree. Saffron risotto and spinach capeletti did not quite rise to the same level although both were still good. The saffron flavor came through clearly in the risotto but we wanted more from the short rib ragu. The pasta in the capeletti was excellent and chewy but the spinach filling wasn't quite as inspired. For mains we tried the duck and the rabbit. Again, both not quite up to the first two bit so very good. I'm particular the duck meat was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. It was delicious mixed with the sauces on the plate. The rabbit wasn't dry, but it came across a little one note texturally soft with the accompaniments. Finally, we had the mango and white chocolate dome dessert which was thankfully relatively light and understated and wrapped up the nail nicely. Our waitress was great, attentive and friendly including with our young kids. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent modern French in the West Village- the 1/3rd portions were generous and creatively prepared, presented and hits all the correct notes. Main dishes are heavy with meat and quality is high. My aged duck breast was prepared perfectly medium rare, juicy and flavorful. The starter Uni Spaghetti is the best I've tasted, and the tuna tartare was sashimi grade. Very reasonable at $80 for 3 read more

Popped in for a drink while in the area on a Saturday night. Trendy scene with beats popping at just the right volume. My friend and I conversed without having to scream at each other and enjoyed the beautiful people watching. Friendly service and we didn't feel rushed. My Esprit Frais drink was well balanced and refreshing -- an eclectic mix of rum, mint, cucumber, lime juice and egg white. Not something I would normally go for, but it worked its magic. An added plus was the lovely presentation. Would love to return to try more drinks and the food! read more

This will be a review of my last visit to L'Accolade for brunch. Gotta say- the brunch fare was quite unusual but extremely welcome! I mean, where else do you get beef tartare and Branzino for brunch (btw, yes, let's normalize Branzino for brunch. It just makes sense.) The highlight of this meal was the dessert wine we had (Laurent Cazottes Organic Tomato Liqueur). It's not exactly what you'd expect (because it's hard to really know what to expect from a tomato liqueur). It definitely starts as a tomato, but then it becomes so much more as the flavors emerge. It was sooo much fun. For anyone who is skeptical- I understand, but I'd encourage you to trust the madness of Laurent Cazottes! I deducted one star because our chicken sandwich arrived undercooked, but they fixed it right away, and the final sandwich was quite delicious (and didn't make me feel like I just ate a chicken sandwich!) The service was great and very responsive, and this was a first time dining indoors. Very chic wine bar ambiance (as expected). This is a great brunch option! read more

A bit packed, trendy-ish but not overly so. Nice decor. Service friendly and fairly snappy. Dapper staff. Food was standout: muscles 'Nduja, with Cannelini Beans, Sage, Grilled Sourdough had a savory spicy and slightly meaty broth from the 'nduja and was balanced by the buttery-texture and savory palate cleansing effects of the cannelini beans and enlivened by the sage. The Kale Salad with Sweet Potato, Marcona Almonds, Red Onion, Buttermilk Vinaigrette had fine chiffonade greens but kale being very tough held up perfectly for service under these conditions and was balanced by the candied sweet potato and almonds. The dressing was almost too heavy, but was just barely under the wire for "overdressed." What could take this to great? For me 4 stars is excellent and 5 means beyond reproach. I would adjust the salad for dressing down by about 1/3 and reduce the sweetness of the crust on the sweet potatoes by about 1/2 and add 25% more beans into the broth of the muscles. Otherwise, I couldn't improve on the food. At the price point, I have zero complaints on food or service. Oh and we only waited about 20 minutes which was pleasant on a packed Friday night, although we did eat standing up at a counter and had to move after about 90 minutes for the next party, but no complaints there. Update re-ate the exact same meal a second time on Saturday December 26 and the balance of the dishes was even better. I upgrade to 4.5 stars on the food. The service was exceptional and wonderful. We felt welcomed and attended to. For these reasons I'm updating to five stars overall considering the category, cost and overall expectations. read more

We went to L'Accolade for a friend's birthday party and had great service, food, and drinks. My friend hadn't reserved a table when we showed up for happy hour at 5pm on a Wednesday--but they were happy to accommodate us. We even got a table on their back patio, which is such a lovely space. The servers were attentive and didn't mind that people were coming and going. We enjoyed $10 martinis and $14 wine during happy hour (until 7). We also tried a few snacks (oysters were great) and dishes like the roast chicken and snap pea salad, but I'll be thinking about the deviled eggs forever. They were out of this world, and I'll definitely be going back to L'Accolade again. read more

I came for Valentine's day so the menu was prix fixe. With that being said, the portions were good so that we didn't feel insanely full or left hungry and the flavors were good. I don't feel this place was anything special. I believe the menu was $130pp and we ordered a bottle of wine. We ended up with a final bill of around $400, which I didn't personally feel it was worth it. I also didn't like that the waitress pressured me to leave at a certain point, but I get it - it's busy on valentine's day. The place was cute and it's a cozy date spot, so I do think it's a nice option overall. For appetizers, we had nordic style oysters and a foie gras ganache. The oysters were nothing to write home about but the foie gras ganache was probably the best thing we had that night! Albeit it would have been nice to have some bread to spread it on, but the dish only came with two very small crackers. For a second dish, we both ordered the tuna and crab duet. This was a LOT of food deceivingly (in a good way) but the entire dish was very mushy. I wish they added some more texture to it because you end up just feeling like you're eating mashed potatoes. The flavors were great though! For entree, I ordered the octopus and my date ordered the half cockerel (young chicken). Octopus was a bit salty and just ok... but the chicken was DELICIOUS. I was surprised at how tender it was! I'm sure there's a chicken equivalent on the everyday menu, so I'd highly recommend ordering that since they seem to know what they're doing with their birds. All in all, i enjoyed my dinner but I don't think it was worth its price. read more

Solid find. Chic without overdoing it. Cute French restaurant in West Village. The crab tortellini was a weird combination but the combination worked - nice hint of pistachio. The tuna crudo was tasty but I have my doubts as to whether the tuna was actually fresh. The meals of the night were for sure the mains - the lamb and the duck. The lamb was so clean and the garnish was simple yet just enough - cooked to perfection. They should've put more than one chop though lol. The duck was also cooked to perfection and extremely tender - a must. The sides for the duck were very well conceptualized. The Medovik cake for dessert was something I had never tried before and was very tasty - just the right size to finish the meal. Service was great, food arrived at a good pace. Waitress brought a delicious red wine that wasn't on the menu which was very thoughtful. Atmosphere was mid - quite a few empty tables for a busy Saturday night in West Village.

Cocktail menu are sweet, I just went with mezcal Negroni which was better. Beef Carpaccio - okay, kinda ugly sliced. Green Pea Soup - flavor was great with crouton texture. A bit watery compare to typical french silky soup. Duck Entry - it was very good. Crispy skin and juicy meat. Lovely. Cherry Claufoutis - not typical, interesting desserts. read more
