    Such a great bakery! We visited for brunch and had a fantastic meal. Recomend the mini bakery basket which comes with 6 mini croissant variations. Quiches and all our choices were delicious.

    We love Le Moulin and have only had delicious dinners here. We recently came with friends, sat outside snd had a fabulous dinner. Two of our guests had the house special: Trout Amandine, I had the Poilet Roti (which might have been one of the most delicious chickens, I've ever eaten) and another guest had the Vol Au Vent. We shared Creme Brûlée and their Trio Chocolate Dinner which was an absolutely outstanding cake that's hard to describe but definitely worth ordering! One of the unique aspects of the restaurant is that they also sell a great selection of French cookies and other packaged goods in addition to other desserts and chocolates. I read sone of the other reviews and definitely want to return to try their breakfasts and lunches!

    We love it here for the cozy and european styled back eating area. It is a great place for a light and fast brunch. The staff are attentetive and bring everything quickly! The food may not stand out from numerous other brunch places, but its always solid.

    Staff prohibited me from opening my laptop. Mind you I was ordering a full meal and a drink. Also their outside was empty at 12:30 midday. Too many options in the area for this type of service. Sorry to see a local place go bad like this.

    What an adorable little cafe on the ues! Very charming spot for a nice afternoon lunch. Ordered the chicken salad and it came out very fresh and chicken was just grilled! Very impressed. Would absolutely return! Great hidden ues gem!

    Le Moulin now has dinner!!! What an amazing addition to the UES! We have been to Paris several times and the food here is.....close. We have come to Le Moulin for coffee and lunch on multiple occasions. This was the first time (but not the last time) we had dinner. The food was great. We had: - The Charcuterie Board - meats with cheese, very good - Beef Bourguignon - delicious - Roasted Chicken - terrific - Creme Brûlée- delicious - Kir Royale - great Overall a great meal!

    Le Moulin Cafe was an accidental find one morning during my walk. I saw the outside seating and peeking inside I decided it looked like a good place for a light meal. I was definitely correct. I had to control myself at the front counter. There's a lot of pastries in the showcase. This place is not only a cafe but a store plus they will prepare gifts for your special occasions. I saw a customer using his laptop and one lady reading a book. There were two ladies chatting over coffee by the fireplace in the rear. It's a cafe where you can relax. The employee at the front counter was so nice and smiling. I looked over the whole place and took lots of photos of the cute decor. It's spacious and comfortable whether you're alone or with a friend. They open early for breakfast. I took photos of a couple of the menus. It took two visits for me to take in the whole scene. My photos are worth a thousand words. For me it's a nice spot for coffee and croissant. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

    An extremely disappointing services experience. Brought my laptop, asked for permission if it would be ok to use it while I enjoyed a cappuccino and chocolate croissant while sitting in 50 degree and empty outdoor tables at 11am. At 1130, a man came out and didn't even bother asking if I would like anything else and said I would have to leave as laptops not allowed. No acknowledgement or thanks for the business I gave, and no extended offer if I would like to actually spend more (I would have...). There's a lot of good cafe options in the neighborhood. I recommend going somewhere that appreciates the money you choose to spend with them.

    I visited New York City recently with a friend, and we met up with one of her friends who lives on the Upper East Side for coffee. She suggested we meet at Le Moulin. It is a really cute, little café. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as a few little tables outside. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee and snack. They have a case full of yummy looking pastries and treats! I tried the Macarons which were delicious. They also have a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. We did not try any of those items, but I wish we could have! They also have a fun selection of French grocery items for purchase.

    It is still restaurant week here in New York snd we knew we would have to have a late dinner after…read moreour show of Masquerade, so we made reservations at Marseille to have French food and maybe their Restaurant week menu. The RW menu was nice and well worth it, but as for me, I saw something else that I would rather have than the choices on the RW menu. I decided to go with the duck confit, but I did not read the menu thoroughly to see what side it came with. When it came out I saw it was with Flageolet bean Ragout which unfortunately I cannot eat, so I had to let Anna our server know. I was hoping she would keep the duck and just replace the side, but it looked like they made a completely new order, what service. My wife and son both ordered from RW menu and chose the boeuf bourgigninon which was so delicious, very tender beef and smooth mashed potatoes. We decided to also order escargot and French onion soup. Our service was just amazing from Anna our main server and the support servers who brought out our orders and to those who made sure our glasses were never empty. Of course the prefixe dessert was also delicious. Just super happy we learned that it was restaurant week and that we were able to experience it.

    Oh, what a delight to stumble upon Marseille on a rainy day!…read more We stumbled into Marseille completely by chance. We were actually going to a different restaurant but the rain came down so hard, we needed to go somewhere closer. I want to come back and have a true meal here! (Apparently they do a discounted steak frites and that is my love language.) The staff very kindly accommodated us even thought we didn't have a reservation (we were only two). Everything in Marseille is done with a purpose. The waiters are all dressed in the same charming uniform. The cocktails are crafted with certain flavor profiles in mind. The menu is there to whisk you away to a little, remote village in France - except, you're on 9th Avenue in New York City and the street is littered with pushy walkers and....well, you get the drill. Anyway. Marseille begins the meal with the most excellent bread service. A fresh, hot sourdough roll is placed upon your table, along with herbed butter and oil. I could make a meal out of that bread alone. My cousin and I split the mushroom ravioli as an appetizer - a little salty, but excellent. The flavors were very well balanced and six was a good number for a dinner portion. We actually opted for the French onion soup as out main, and it was probably the best French onion soup we've ever had. There was also so much, we could not finish it. My Francais G&T was unbelievably good and came with a cornichon. Actually, shout out to our busser (I wish I got his name!) who accidentally took my drink-pickle away and had the waiter bring over more to make up for it. It was such a kind gesture and he deserves to be awarded for his attention to detail. (The wait staff overall was excellent. Kudos to the tall waiter with the snake ring and the shorter waitress with the great eyebrows. Again, I wish I got their names!) Oh, and as a bonus - they gave us some incredible truffles as a parting gift because we didn't stay for dessert. Like I said - the attention to detail here is on point! Overall, this is a fabulous spot. I would love to try brunch here!

The atmosphere is wonderfully comforting--dimly lit, warmly inviting, with nicely set tables that immediately make you want to settle in. The service was quiet and very competent. As a big fan of Lyonnaise salads, I had to try theirs, and it exceeded my expectations. The lardons were large and crispy, paired with wonderful brioche croutons and a perfectly poached egg. A classic done very well. And although it's not exactly French, their burger was superb. Served on an oversized grilled English muffin, it had a juicy patty topped with melted Gruyère. And the fries? As good as any you'll find in a bistro in Paris. A terrific discovery and exactly the kind of old-school restaurant that's getting harder and harder to find.

Nice dim lightly, excellent wait staff, and a pretty quick kitchen. All the appetizers my party had were delicious. Frog legs where a great standout, in addition to their scallops. We continued to dip their house made bread in their au gue throughout the night. Scallops were sizeable and prepared well. I also really enjoyed the oysters on the half shell. Quality oysters paired with a delicious onion and vinegar sauce. However there were two big let downs. The bathroom was a humid and hot mess. So uncomfortable to use in such heat. The other big let down was the French onion soup burger. What was supposed to be the star of the show was out shined heavily by its appetizers before hand. Did not like the English muffin as bread. Didn't have a French onion soup flavor, and was mostly flavorless in my experience outside the cheese and large amount of butter spread on the bread. Maybe it was just the day, however, at almost $40 dollars there is no reason to have an off day. All the appetizers were an easy 5 of 5. Burger was a 2 of 5. Overall despite a bad showing for the burger I will rate the experience overall a 3 instead of a 4 as there is no half star system.

We ordered a traditional gran marnier soufflé with our dinner order as it takes that amount of time to make it. I came for the duck confit. It was tasty with the right amount of crispy skin. My sister ordered the Moules Marinieres which I think was the winner. It came with fries and a few small dishes of green beans. The Buf Bourguignon was rich and hearty. I've been craving a soufflé, and I'm not an expert but I wish I hadn't poured all the sauce in as the mariner was fairly strong and almost overpowered the soufflé in flavor.

While the French Onion soup was still a stand-out dish, the painfully slow service detracted. There appeared to be a single waitress working. I didn't notice during my first visit if there were multiple servers, but the first time I did hear the waiter advise another table that the kitchen was behind and there would be a wait for food. (This didn't affect me since on my first visit I only ordered soup.) Same thing happened this time, and there was a significant delay between our soup/salad course and entrees. We were told the kitchen was backed up. this is apparently the norm. For appetizers, the French onion soup was a gold star dish. My friend had the goat cheese salad which she said was also very good. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was good, and a hard-to-find dish in NYC. While eating our entrees, the server never checked on how things were or if we needed anything. Once finished, we sat there for a long time waiting for our plates to be cleared, and finally had to "announce" that we were done and request our dessert (as we had ordered the prix fixe menu). For dessert we ordered the Dame Blanche and Profiteroles. I would recommend neither. The ice cream (in both) was poor quality, crystallized and not creamy. A real shame. In all, the meal too 2.5 hours due to the slow service. The soup remains fantastic. I'm downgrading my review to recommend this spot only for soup and salad and not a full, hours-long meal. For that, it's 5 stars, for a full meal a middling 3.
