    Cheese tart was good the tart shell was perfect. However somehow the tart felt dry even with all that cheese. The duck was surprisingly almost perfect and was delicious. Fries were perfectly crispy but felt like a strange pairing with the duck. The edible flower garnish was unnecessary and unappealing. Service was good. Wines are good. Cute and good dining spot on UWS. Perfect for people watching.

    Restaurant Week 2025- Foie Gras au Torchon. Tasty
    Glenn C.

    Side notes: 5% discount for cash. The RW fish was the salmon from the menu I was here with a small group recently for their 2025 Restaurant Week menu having been prior to their sister restaurant Taureau. The RW menu is a very good deal and we all left stuffed. The restaurant is small and most of the folks eating were older which is expected for this area (and especially a brasserie.) The temperature was a bit warm but was adjusted several times throughout the meal and the two staff were nice. I didn't bother with a drink while two others had a glass of their sweet white wine with their meals which was $10. They gave us some good bread with some very cold butter (perhaps a bit much so it was a bit hard to spread) to munch on. I started with the Foie Gras au Torchon with toasted sour dough bread as well as grape and apple confit which was listed as a signature. It came with three substantially large pieces of foie. The grape accompaniment was my preference of the two fruits as the texture went well while the apple was almost like a sour apple sauce. The foie gras had good texture and this was a rich satisfying dish. Another person got what I got, three others had the Escargots à la Bourguignonne listed as baked 1/2 dozen escargots stuffed with butter, garlic, shallots, and parsley, and one last person got the French Onion Soup listed with toasted bread with Swiss au gratin and they all enjoyed their appetizers. For my main dish, I went with the Filet de Boeuf Poêlé Truffle Sauce listed as a seared filet mignon with veal stock truffle sauce. The steak was moderately sized and cooked perfectly with a few thin slices of black truffle. The sauce was excellent with some earthiness and sweetness. The dish unexpectedly came with some pommes frites which was a nice touch and said fries were thin and nice and crispy. This was overall very tasty with the sauce being the definite highlight. The dishes came served with fresh vegetables on the side for two to share consisting of a few pieces of roasted cucumber, squash, and chayote along with a pumpkin puree which matched those served at Taureau (there might have been carrots to replace one of them.) Otherwise, several people had the Braised Rabbit Dijonnaise listed as being with a white wine dijon lightly creamed sauce which was a smaller portion by comparison with the rabbit almost being prepared like a sausage and they enjoyed it. Another person had the Oven Roasted Cornish Hen au Jus which was served with fries like my dish but lacked a sauce and he preferred my dish after trying my sauce. All 6 of us for dessert went with the Croquant au Caramel listed as a puff pastry stuffed with vanilla Grand Marnier custard and topped with caramel. This was a tasty dessert being lightly sweet with a good soft puff pastry. Nothing notable but better than the usual crème puff or similar you find. It was small but satisfying. This was an excellent deal for Restaurant Week with better options than most French spots. Good portion sizes and good flavors. Would recommend

    Very good brunch! Fries and salad for the table is a very nice touch. Everyone enjoyed this meal

    Salmon with Mushroom Sauce & Seared Hanger Steak Sauce au Poivre served with Fresh Vegetables

    Came here for restaurant week with friends. Staff and service were excellent. The ambiance is nice and cozy. The food was also very good. For our appetizers, I ordered the escargots à la bourguignonne and my friends ordered the French onion soup. We all enjoyed it and thought it was delicious. For our entree, I ordered the salmon with mushroom sauce which was the fish of the day and my friends ordered the seared hanger steak sauce au poivre with French fries. Also served with fresh vegetables on the side. We thought the portions were good and tasty. I couldn't stop eating my friend's fries, they were perfectly cooked and crispy. The desserts were amazing and mouthwatering, we all ordered the croquant au caramel and my other friend got the choux chantilly. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and I would come back. Perfect spot for date night.

    French fries, foie gras, and a good cocktail is all you need on an Easter Sunday dinner. Although the inside can use a spruce up, don't let it food you -- the food is delicious. It's a bit dark and closer quarters inside, but the service was really good.

    Came here with my family for restaurant week and food here was delicious! Since I came with 3 other people, we were able to pretty much try everything that was on the restaurant week menu. My favorite among all the appetizers was the French onion soup! The soup was very rich and flavorful and the melty cheese on top was to die for! For the entree, we thought the salmon was just okay. It was cooked well and tasted pretty good but nothing too special about it. We also got the chicken, which was very juicy and the skin was crispy. Among all the entrees that we ordered, our favorite was the steak! We had to pay extra for the steak but it was so worth it! The steak was so tender and the sauce was very savory. Lastly, desserts! To be honest, I think the desserts were pretty average. The banana brûlée and croquants Au caramel were too sweet for me. The profiteroles was probably the only one that I would recommend. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here! The dinner was $60 per person which was not bad considering it's a 3 course meal and it's French!

    To start off this place was amazing! We started off with 2 appetizers the escargot and the ravioli they were both so delicious (it was my first time trying escargot). Our waiter was supper nice and gave great recommendations. I had the special which was veal with an amazing sauce. All of my family members loved their food and we all think this was our best meal on our trip. The place was supper cozy loved it. Would recommend!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at this place. After seeing the menu and all the healthy option they offer we decided to ask for a table indoors. The hostess kindly offered us a table right away. We ordered a few apps and one main plate to share. Salad de Betteraves, steak tartare, escargots and foie gras. All GF and flavorful. As a main we chose the chicken plate. It was crispy outside and nicely cooked from the inside. Delicious. This cute place is already one of the safe go to options around that area. You will not go wrong. Good job guys

    I've been craving French food and what better way to try La Sirene The restaurant was a vibe and so happy we got a table next to the window. This was an early dinner and the food did not disappoint! Escargot was super bomb! Eating with the bread and dipping the garlic sauce -- so good. I already miss it. French Onion Soup was super dense and tasty -- I actually couldn't finish it cause it was just so heavy. But the flavor packs a punch. The Foie Gras appetizer was pretty tasty but not sure $40 justifies this. Overall, I'd definitely go back for the escargot and will try their entrees.

    The service is extremely great! The food's portion is big and yummy A very pleasant dinning experience here

    What is dress code?

    I've never seen a dress code.

    Do you guys have live music?

    Thankfully, no. The place is so quiet, barring an occasional loud diner, that you can actually converse with the people you came with.

    Perfect chill date night cocktail location. Meet someone for a biz meeting here, nice happy hour-…read moreopen seating and cool vibe. Drinks reasonable prices for location. A Latin jazz trio started to play and the vibe was chill , adult and calm. Highly recommend

    "Things to Consider":…read more 1. Food - fine if you want to pay hotel prices for food that you can get at a New Jersey or Long Island mall at much lower prices. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and pita chips warmed and served in the bags they came in. 2. Service - non-existent. No staff members acknowledge your arrival. You either have to wave madly or go to the bar and ask for a drink. The staff is always closing early with the staff excuse that "we are not busy" yet guests are routinely turned away. The staff is not happy and begrudge being there. DO NOT believe in the hours posted on the website. There is a built-in clientele but the staff can't wait to close it down. I don't know what is wrong with management but they have lost the plot. 3. Ambience - The space could be so much better than it is. The lighting is okay but the seating in the bar area is not appropriate. The adjoining cafe has a better feeling. Ambience has a lot to do with making guests feel welcome - this staff doesn't understand the meaning of hospitality but they should not be blamed. It is clear they have no training and are not held to any standard. If you want to go to a great space, go to the Wallace Hotel around the corner (I am NOT affiliated with them... have just gone there many times). It is so sad to see a place with such potential be so poorly run, especially as they have such little competition. The Arthouse Bar has the potential to be THE leading cocktail/music/late-night bar on the Upper West Side.
