    This restaurant week had much more on the menu compared to some of the other ones I saw. We came as a family of 6 so we tried to order one of everything. The menu comes with 3 courses, appetizers, entree, and dessert from $60. From the appetizers I would recommend getting the Foie Gras Au Torchon, Ravioles de Royan a la Creme, and Escargots a la Bourguignonne. With the Entrees I would recommend trying the Braised Rabbit Dijonnaise. It was the most unique dish and very flavorful. It may be a bit salty for some people. From the dessert menu, they had two homemade ice cream: vanilla and banana. The banana tasted really good, no artificial bananas taste, but the vanilla was a bit bland. Their other two was delicious as well and worth trying.

    Restaurant Week 2025- Free sides. Nice mix of veggies

    Restaurant Week 2025 Review 1/many. I went back to this spot with a group recently for French Restaurant Week (which I will be shortening to RW from now on) which ran from July 7th to the 20th with both restaurants also being part of the current RW which is $60 for dinner. I had previously been to their UWS location for RW last year which was excellent and it was very similar this time though the portions have shrunk a little bit such as the foie gras but that's expected unfortunately so c'est la vie. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had a glass of white chardonnay which was good and was a pretty generous pour. They gave us some bread at the beginning which was nice and crunchy though I wish it was a bit warmer along with some olive oil with some balsamic vinegar in it. I started with the Foie Gras au Torchon served with toast as well as apple and grape confits. As described earlier, the portion has shrunk a bit with there now being one larger piece instead of two medium sized ones. The apple confit was my preference of the pairing with the texture being quite nice while the grape one was slightly too sweet. Many others had the Escargots à la Bourguignonne; which they had difficulty using the provided instruments; the Watermelon Salad, and the French Onion Soup. Having had the Filet de Bœuf Poêlé on the previous menu, I went with the Seared Hanger Steak au Poivre listed as prepared for the occasion with peppercorn brandy sauce. The steak was cooked a proper medium rare with a bit of chewiness as expected for hanger steak but not too much with plenty of flavor. The peppercorn sauce wasn't as pronounced as some other places but I honestly didn't mind this as it still had plenty of flavor with some of the zing from said black peppercorn. Outside of some greens, there was also some potato pavé on the side which was prepared nicely. On a side note, another person to not be named ordered this dish a bit past medium and it didn't come out that way. Another had what I got, two had the Filet de Bœuf Poêlé which they enjoyed and two had the Braised Rabbit Dijonnaise which they liked. The entrees all came served with fresh vegetables on the side consisting of a few pieces of roasted cucumber, squash, and chayote along with a pumpkin puree just like the other location as a portionfor two to share. All seven of us for dessert went wit the Croquant au Caramel listed as a puff pastry stuffed with vanilla Grand Marnier custard and topped with caramel. The dessert was well made with a good pastry crust and even with the amount of caramel, it wasn't super sweet. This was small but tasty and a satisfying end to a good meal. It is always nice seeing a place that doesn't seem to skimp out even if people are ordering on the RW menu. While I preferred the regular dinner options, this is an excellent way to try this restaurant especially if the general price points here are a bit too high. Same rating essentially.

    So we checked out this French spot for restaurant week. It's a really cute spot and had some really great options on their restaurant week menu. We ordered the: Appetizers: Ravioles de Royan au Comte Foie Gras Torchon Escargot Bourguignonne Entrees: Rable de Lapin Braise Seared Hanger Steak Fish or seafood of the day (it was Brazino when we went) They have 2 locations. Only the Soho location did restaurant week lunch.

    Delicious French food. Simply delicious. I like to splurge on good food when I'm in New York. Italian restaurants yes, but I find good French restaurants far and few. The pate appetizer was really good (fuller than a Vietnamese pate). The side mustard and pickled veggies added to the flavor. The star: steak with fries gras on top, was killer. Rich savory duck on top of a good steak with truffles on top. Yum. 5/5 would recommend.

    We were looking for a small, intimate and charming place with good food for our anniversary and a Redditor recommended this place. It was fantastic! The wine and cocktail list is nice, beer drinkers will find just 2 options. The complimentary bread is served with EVOO and house-made balsamic. We started with beef tartare and pears with bleu cheese. Both were delicious. Entrees were duck in a cherry jus, accompanied by a plate of 4 vegetable selections. It was tender and perfectly cooked. The gnocchi Parisienne are actually cauliflower based and incredibly light and fluffy. The Gruyère and béchamel sauce is decadent. Servers were sweet and attentive. The menu says the only accept cash or Amex- but the DO take Visa. A really nice meal and well worth a visit if in SoHo.

    Came here for the Restaurant Week deal to try out this place..Dining room is very small but I saw another room so they must have more than one dining. Place was empty except for one other couple but then after 7pm it started filling up. Service was very good and food was good as well but portions were very small. Some restaurant don't give full size portions for the RW meals and not sure if this was the case.

    Was part of a party of 7 during French Restaurant Week. We all chose the $60 prix fix menu. I chose the escargot a la bourguignonne appetizer, the braised rabbit dijonnaise as my main course, and everyone in my party picked the croquant au caramel dessert. I also paired a Cabernet Savignon with my meal. Everything was a 10 out of 10. Service was good. Everything was brought out timely, not too quickly or too slow.

    Food: 2/2 Service: 0.5/1 Atmosphere: 1/1 Value: 0.5/1 Total: 4/5 TLDR: solid standard French cuisine in a great neighborhood location. We ordered the seafood linguine, beef tongue and salmon. We were with my in laws who aren't the most adventurous, otherwise we would've also considered the escargot or tartare! Everyone was very happy with what they got, including the excellent complimentary bread and butter. Knocked a little bit off for service since half our table was missing cutlery in the beginning, but the wait staff was nice and attentive otherwise. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the classic French bistro decor inside. The space isn't huge, but we didn't feel squished. Also knocked a bit off on value, but I don't think it's much higher than other French places in the neighborhood.

    Absolutely ADORED this place! Came with my parents for my birthday. We brought our own bottle of wine, as this restaurant has BYOB and bottles for purchase options. We enjoyed the Filet au Poivre et Cognac (pictured) and the Truffle Gnocchi. The filet came with the gorgeous vegetables pictured next to the dish. The service was incredibly accommodating and friendly, and the vibe was upscale and cozy at the same time. A great choice for dinner with the parents or a special occasion. Love!

    **HEADS UP** If you do not have AMEX, Bitcoin, please bring cash to pay. That being said, came here for dinner with my best friend. We just wanted to catch up with each other over life stuff. Food: 5* Mussels Creoles: THE SAUCE IS THE BEST!!! PART OF IT. We requested extra bread to sop up the remaining sauce on the dish. Hanger steak: Tender and robust in flavor, don't recall the sliced potato dish on my plate was called. Had a bit of the foie gras from my friend, it was not for us. Also, we had veggies served with us but we were unsure if it was part of my meal or my best friend's. The puree was DELICIOUS, the other items were simply alright. Strawberry tartelette: LESS sweet than I expected it to be, not a complaint though. The chantilly cream, custard, and tart were delicious as a whole. Service: 4.5* The wait staff is quite friendly and nice, no complaints there. Ambiance: 4.5* It is quite small in there! There are not many tables in there. The bathroom was ultra cramped too.

    We came here for the restaurant week menu and our anniversary. It was a cute little restaurant that we almost missed because it was unassuming. Inside was decorated with paintings of Paris. We asked for the restaurant week menu since they handed us the regular menu. They were very polite. We were originally going to get the house Bordeaux but the waitress said that the Cabernet Sauvignon was much better so we took her up on it. She was right the wine was fantastic and paired very well with the steaks. My husband was kind enough to let me have both appetizers and he got both desserts. I got the foie gras and the escargot. The foie gras was buttery and really did melt in my mouth. The sweetness of the apple and grape confits complemented the saltiness of the foie gras. The bread added a different texture to the dish. The escargot was the most tender snails I've ever had. Unfortunately, it didn't taste like much even with the sauce. Our main dish were the hanger steak and the filet mignon. We asked for medium rare and they were cooked to perfection. The meat was a little tough. Both sauces were very good and we used the bread to soak up the remaining sauce. My husband had both the choux chantilly which was puff pastries and the croquant au caramel which had a hard candy shell with spun sugar on top. He said they were both very good. The service was great. They were attentive. When we finished the bread, they brought more. They kept filling our water glasses whenever it was low. There's a 5% discount if you pay cash. We were very happy with our meal.

    La Sirene will always be our favorite French restaurant in NYC. Let me lay out all the reasons why: Service - 5* Marty is what I would call the perfect waiter. He's friendly, easily to talk to, and provided exceptional service to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience, from cleaning up the bread crumbs to checking-in to see if we like our food, to simply having a pleasant conversation that wasn't too abrupt or too long, it was simply enjoyable and heartwarming. If I had a restaurant of my own, Marty is the type of server I wish I could hire. The other waiters are also exceptional and friendly as well! Ambiance - 4* The restaurant is indeed very beautiful and warm, but some of the tables are very small; although it provides an intimate experience, it sometimes felt as if our food overwhelmed the table and made it a bit tight. The seating is also kind of too close, where we felt as if we were dining with the table next to us. However, I'm sure a little rearranging can fix this issue with no problem! Food - 5* Escargot - consistently fresh and tasty, with a perfect blend of garlic, butter, and parsley! The sauce remaining paired beautifully with the complimentary bread so remember to save some of the bread! It is a bit pricy though, averaging around 4 dollars per piece. French onion soup - crispy cheese adding a pleasant bite to the soup! Very flavorful and the different textures are beautifully interwoven, providing a delightful and heartwarming experience! Hanger steak - incredibly tender and it paired perfectly with the sauce, which has a nice balance between its savoriness and the truffle infused in it! Definitely a good choice for steak! Cassoulet - My favorite dish of all time at La Sirene! Incredibly filling and rich, with a blend of fattiness from the duck, sausage, bacon, and chicken infused with the soft beans and veggies! The breadcrumbs also provide a very playful crunch that enhanced the entire dish as well! If you get this, chances are you're guaranteed to be full, so be careful you don't over order! This dish used to be served to warriors, so that's just a little fun fact that also made me love this dish more! A perfect winter dish! Overall, I am so happy that La Sirene has always been so consistent in its exemplary service and heartwarming entrees! Highly recommend coming here for a nice comforting dinner, whether it's with family or with your soulmate! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

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!

It stole the show. I've never had celtuce, loved it paired with the jelly, the texture and flavor were both amazing. It was the most interesting and prettiest dish I've had in a long time. For my entree, I had the bobo chicken, which is a poached chicken with a hint of spice and a nice broth. I ordered a side of rice to soak up the broth; the rice had something starchy tucked in it (maybe taro)? I liked it. There were slices of raw celtuce stems (I think, similar to celery) on top that offered some nice texture to the dish. Wine: I tried a merlot by the glass from Xiaopu winery in China. I thought it had nice body and flavor. I'm no expert but for the first western style wine I've tried from China, it was very good. The service was excellent.

Overall, I do think it was very expensive but the ambiance + some of the dishes were well worth it. I'd definitely come back.

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.
