We have been going to La Sirene for years (used to live in NYC), a move made harder after we moved to PA. It's always a highlight of our trip, but our recent visit saw some changes we really didn't like. The meal was good - but not great. The appetizer was the star -- the goat cheese tart. We preferred the old setup on homemade tomato/cherry jam, but the shallots, roasted grapes, truffles, & aged Swiss were quite nice. I tried the roasted Cornish hen, and while it was cooked perfectly, it just didn't really sing. My hubs liked his dish - the pork tenderloin w/ mushrooms in a port wine cream reduction sauce. We were super disappointed in the change in veggie plate. Gone are those super creamy potatoes, perfectly pureed carrots, cauliflower& more. We had a rather unappetizing roasted broccoli, butternut squash, pineapple (??)), and roasted wheels of zucchini that didn't offer much flavor. Sad! Our server was quite good, and the atmosphere was still nice and low key. No room for dessert, so we called it a night with a sad look back at a restaurant we used to positively adore. read more

Ate here years ago and decided to come back and what a great decision it was. It's such a cozy little restaurant with different rooms. Enzo was our waiter who was great we brought our own wine which means you have to pay the bill in cash which I didn't mind with no corkage fee if you're not bringing your own wine. Then you can pay by credit card. The escargot was fantastic, but the highlight of our appetizers was the ravioli with truffle cream sauce. The seared foie gras seemed expensive on the menu, but it was the largest portion foie gras I've ever seen and it was delicious. The rabbit in a mustard wine sauce was also very tasty as was the chocolate lava cake . I will definitely come back again one of the best meals I've had in a while. read more

Quaint French Bistro in SoHo near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. Went on a busy Friday evening and ordered off their extensive Restaurant Week Menu. Started with the Foie Gras appetizer which was nicely prepared and presented. For entree, had a very good Duck Breast and finished with the Croquant au Caramel (puff pastry) dessert which was also very good. read more

The quail was really good - tender and juicy for such lean meat. The lamb was a tad gamey for my taste, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. We both really liked the poached pear with bleu cheese. Service was ok; we had two people checking in on us but asked us the same questions. The restaurant has three separate dining rooms, all of which are on the smaller side. read more

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. read more

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. read more

La Sirene - Restaurant Week 2025- Free sides. Nice mix of veggies - French Near Me - New York, New York

Had dinner here with an ex and another couple and the meal was fabulous. It's all about the experience when you're dining in NYC, in my opinion and this was a really special spot. We started off with a bunch of appetizers: the escargot of course, it was a first for me and I was hesitant but convinced and was so glad I tried it, delicious! The steak tartare was phenomenal, reminded me of the steak tartare I had at Bistro Jeanty in Napa, which is saying a lot! We had the ravioli in a truffle cream sauce and while I'm not a fan of truffle, this dish was impossible not to love. I got the pork tenderloin which really was just perfect, such a treat. The guests I was with had the cassoulet and steak and everyone loved their meal. Service was impeccable. It was a lovely night and I highly recommend this spot. read more

Quaint french bistro. Good neighborhood restaurant. Food was good. probably typical bistro in france.

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. read more

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. read more

La Sirene has the best Cassoulet, I happily fly 5+ hours to have it. The service was impeccable and friendly. Wish we had restaurants of this caliber in San Francisco! read more

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. read more

Had an amazing dinner of French onion soup and duck. The duck easily was a stand out: the duck was high quality, cooked amazingly medium, with a delectable sauce. All entrees also seem to come with a little selection of daily vegetables. Service was good and the wine they recommended was good. If they ask "sparkling water?" make sure to say tap and not still or else you'll get fancy $10 Evian lmao. read more

A new favorite bistro in lower manhattan. Will need to check out the sister location on the upper west side. We had the hangar steak and the duck, preceded by escargot and the calamari. Finished up with the banana crème brûlée and croquembouche au caramel. And the bottle of Termes 2021 was superb and a good value. Martin, our server, was stellar. A wonderful experience. read more

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. read more

**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. read more

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. read more

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! (: read more

Wouldn't really recommend this place. It's small and the smell from the kitchen gets all over the restaurant leaving you with just ok food and bad smell on your clothes. read more

Best foie gras I have ever had, including in France! If you're a fan of foie gras, or just wanting to try it out, this is the place to go (and spend the extra $$ on the seared foie gras!!) It was warm, melt in your mouth, absolutely deliciousness. We also got the steak tartare and escargot for apps and they were good but the foie gras was by far the star of the show. For entrees, we got the duck breast, seared hanger steak, and the braised rabbit, which were all good (hanger steak was my favorite). If you have a heavier palate and enjoy bursts of flavor, I would perhaps avoid the rabbit as it was on the lighter side for taste profile. Service was excellent, the restaurant felt super cozy and intimate. Only downside is they only accept Amex or cash, so be prepared! read more

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. read more

Food was not eatable. We left most of our food because we could not stomach it. We are a French/American group and I can tell you this food has nothing to do with French food. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I found myself at La Sirene at the last minute while visiting for work. I'm so happy I did. La Sirene felt like a traditional place that values the customer, the food and tradition. For the customer, they were flexible about which table I selected and thought about the food for which wine I selected. The food was excellent (I had the filet au poivre which came with an assortment of vegetables. The broccolini was served as just tips which made the dish feel special. And the tradition came with the recipes: rabbit, vegetable stew, mussels. I appreciated my dinner and the dinner experience. read more

We booked this French restaurant since we missed France and wanted to try the French food scene in NY (which is not so great in the Bay Area) ... and well La Sirène surely didn't disappoint! We were greeted by the owner himself. I was happy to see that he spoke French, since I speak fluent French myself! He had a restaurant in Paris before moving to New York. I knew already that this was going to be a great meal. Onto the food. For apps, we got the French onion soup and the ravioli. The ravioli sauce was the perfect creamy texture paired nicely with some truffle oil. The onion soup was very flavorful but could definitely tell that it is vegetarian broth based, not beef. The cheese is very melted with just the right amount of bread, and you can definitely taste the smoky burnt flavor on the top of the cheese (which is a plus for me but not everyone likes that flavor) - a solid 4/5 for just the soup (as rated by my girlfriend who is a French onion soup enthusiast). For main course, we got the Filet Mignon topped with a thin slice of Foie Gras. It was simply delicious. Paired with the perfect sauce (slightly on the fruity side, really balanced out the heaviness of the foie gras). We also got the Hangar Steak which is a recipe I've never had before. Quite unique with the grilled garlic (a lot of it!). Just a bit oily but we didn't mind it. The food also came with a plate of veggies. the owner definitely put a lot of thought into the menu and his customers - they do say amex only for credit cards but they are flexible if you just talk to them! Overall we highly recommend this place for a taste of Paris! read more

I came here for NY Restaurant Week with three other friends. We made dinner reservations for around 6:30pm on a week night, which was good because it started getting busy around 7:30pm. Honestly, we loved the appetizers/first course the best, and things went a little downhill from there. The entrees were small portioned and the desserts were the most disappointing. Despite their names and what they seemed like, they were not that special ): We thought that we would have left with a better impression if we had skipped dessert. We left feeling a bit hungry too since the dishes took awhile to come out between meals, and the portions were pretty small. But I definitely enjoyed the presentation of the dishes! Note: They only do AMEX here except during Restaurant Week where they also take Mastercard. read more

Hosted a group dinner here last week for 10 people The food was outstanding and the service was attentive and helpful, far from overbearing BYOB policy is a big plus - 1 bottle of wine per 2 people.

It's a solid French place! Pretty small and doesn't have a lot of tables to sit at - really feels like restaurants in France in that way. The menu includes the chef's notes for almost each food item, it's very cute! We got to foie gras au torchon as an appetizer that was pretty good and the hanger steak for entree. Hanger steak was pretty small in size but tasted good. I didn't love their house wine personally but it was well priced. Service was fairly quick. Overall I would say it's a solid option but not one I feel like I have to go back to read more

I often crave for foie gras , northern spanish , basque style ( grilled ) and there's only one place that I go to to satisfy my craving . I normally get the steak with foie and truffle sauce . While it's consistently good the past few times I've gone and had it , today was a bit different ( still good but not equally as good as before). We also had the special beef bourguignon. It was tasty but could have been cooked a little bit longer to get the melt in your mouth feed . It was prepared without the potatoes but with bread , it was tasty . Best paired with red wine , we enjoyed our meal . While it's not my favorite time , experience , this will always be one of my go to dinner places in my neighborhood . It's small, cozy and has a European feel especially indoors . It's far from modern but cozy , intimate . The service is consistent and the person who is the server and could easily be the manager is almost always present which gives me comfort. read more

La Sirene is such a cute/cozy neighborhood French restaurant in Tribeca. price can be a bit expensive compare to others (especially for escargot), but service was very attentive and food was delicious. My husband and I ordered a few glasses of house sparkling wine, white wine and red wine plus escargot (6 for $24.5), lamb chops, filet mignon with foie gras and banana brulee. we ordered filet mignon as medium rare, but it came as rare.. and we realized other tables got theirs rare as well lol. but it was tender and juicy. whatever. For dessert, we finished off with a banana brulee and it was cold on top. I definitely think people should add this restaurant to their bookmark and check it out. read more

Great French restaurant in Soho that has a homey ambiance and a pretty informative menu explaining different aspects of the restaurant and their food. Depending on the day (or season) the place inside may seem cozy but other days it may seem cramped. We went during a cold and rainy day so it was a bit cramped when we had to find space for coats and umbrellas. Seating was a bit tight but still doable. The food was great. The mussels are a solid 10/10 and the creole broth is hearty with the pieces of chorizo adding extra depth. The duck breast was amazing and the pork tenderloin was tender with a capital T. Both entrees were delicious and we had to save room for dessert. The banana pudding looks like a creme brûlée at first glance but is in fact not a creme brûlée...it's a banana pudding masked as a creme brûlée so you get two desserts in one...this one was extremely creative. When in doubt of what to order, read the menu as the explanations go into detail into how the dishes are prepared. read more

Similar to other reviews I am not really sure what the hype about this restaurant is. I was so excited to try the food because of its great ratings and the fact that they serve french food, but it seemed like there was something missing in each dish. I came for restaurant week, tried the escargot and pate for appetizers. The escargot had good flavor but it was a little too salty. The pate was very weird in texture, almost like eating a meatball. For the main course I tried the rabbit and the duck. The duck was fine but I could not understand why the rabbit was such a hit. There was nothing much to the flavor, and just felt like I was eating bland chicken. It was also very busy that day which resulted in the meal taking 2 hours to eat, with very long breaks between the appetizer and the main. I would assume that they would know how to handle the high volume, so I thought the food came out really slow. Waiters were very kind and came by to let us know that the food would be coming out slow that day which I appreciated. read more

This was a wonderful surprise. We were visiting weekend and had not made dinner plans and chose La Sirene by chance. It was a smart move. The food was thoughtfully prepared and clearly made fresh. The roasted beets were lovely and generous -- it was enough for two. The pork was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich but subtle. The duck was cooked rare to order yet the skin was crisp. The cranberry sauce was spot on. We had the tarte tatin to finish, and the waiter kindly brought us a croque en bouche because he thought we shouldn't leave without trying one of their signature desserts. The service was perfectly attentive. This was a meal and experience that made our trip to the city. read more

I just can't get enough of this place. If I lived closer, I'd come here more often. It's probably my fourth or fifth visit by now and it's still excellent no matter when I come. My previous reviews still stand, five stars all the way. This visit I had the pleasure of trying two entrees, the hanger steak and the rabbit. Both were delicious and flavorful. I couldn't decide which I liked better. See, good to dine with others so you can try more food. This visit was a Tuesday evening but still busy as ever. I ate between 6pm-8pm and it was pretty full. There outdoor dining was set up as well but no heat lamps so we opted for inside. Service is friendly and attentive as usual. I don't need to say more, my other reviews still stand. You gotta eat here! read more

Came here with some friends for restaurant week on their recommendation, as they have been here many times. Everything was extremely delicious and I would say the restaurant week price was a great deal, but I would certainly come back and pay regular prices. I was really blown away by the steak dish I got because I am pretty picky with steak at restaurants and this one was insanely delicious and I cleaned my plate. I was also pleasantly surprised by the ravioles which were perfectly cooked in a decadent truffle sauce. Service was very quick and the spaces pretty intimate and nice. Kind of random, but you can pay with bitcoin and other digital currencies here and get a small discount on the bill! Overall, I would recommend this for date night or a small dinner with friends. read more
