    Carrots
    Emily L.

    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.

    Crispy confit chicken leg

    The chicken skin was very crispy and the meat was fall off the bone tender. The downside is I felt the meal was overwhelmingly salty. The staff was incredibly friendly!

    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.

    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.

    Mushroom risotto Arancini
    Amy M.

    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.

    Pappardelle, Honey & Harissa Glazed Carrots, and cocktails
    GuestUser2 _.

    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.

    Scallops
    Bella M.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    The service was great! Our waitress was the sweetest and had a very cute green dress on. The food was good. The appetizers were definitely better than the mains. The cucumber cocktail was delicious and refreshing. I would come back for APPS and drinks any day

    Duck breast, vegetables were perfect
    Alex C.

    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

    David E.

    Happy hour is great ($1.5 oysters as long as you are drinking) and the prie fixe is reasonable at 60 for an app and a main and 80 for 2 apps and 1 main. The scallop was fantastic. The bone marrow was great. The Arancini was under salted. The uni pasta was fantastic. The tartar was good, not great. The corn dessert was fine, but not amazing. .

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch!

    I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.
