Liberty Bistro is a go-to for a sun-soaked lunch with a view. Their patio is stunning on a warm day--perfect for sipping wine and people-watching in the heart of the city. My usuals: * The Branzino is always a win * The mussels are fresh and full of flavor * The Caesar salad with tuna is a solid choice Top it off with a chilled bottle of white, and it's the perfect afternoon. read more

Keeping It Real!! I went with my sister to one of her favorite spots to celebrate my birthday. We've been here plenty of times, but this visit was... a mixed bag. The Drink: I decided to try their signature Frozé, which sounded like a dream on paper: Hampton Water Rosé, Grey Goose Vodka, Lillet Rosé, and Elderflower. Fancy, floral, and promising. The presentation was Instagram-worthy--garnished with a freeze-dried lemon wedge and a tiny flower. But watching the bartender handle those garnishes with bare hands? Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Taste-wise, it was sweet. Like, "I've hit my sugar quota for the day" sweet. At $18, it's standard NYC pricing, but I couldn't tell if I was tipsy or just riding a glucose high. A second round? My blood sugar said absolutely not. ‍ The Vibe: The place was nearly empty, and the maître d' gave off serious "why are you here?" energy. We asked about sitting outside and got a reaction like we'd requested a private yacht. Not the warmest welcome. The Letdowns besides the way too sweet drink...No happy hour pricing on the signature drink? Oof. That stung a little! Good thing I couldn't have another drink. Le District has its charm, and I've had better experiences here in the past. But this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Pretty drinks, meh service, and a sugar overload--not exactly the trifecta I was hoping for... read more

A deserted gem in winter, and raucous summer bar over looking the harbor. We've experienced both and regardless of the scene the team working here are courteous, helpful and professional. Good food and cocktails. Can get a little backed up in summer but a lovely place to relax. read more

Le District of the pristine North Cove Marina, along with its fantastic views and luxurious yachts is prime real estate and Liberty Bistro has the perfect spot for dining. First you are greeted by their charming staff: we were looked after like precious jewels, or was it because I was accompanied by my handsome husband and my gorgeous friend? Delicious appetizers and entrées. To begin, we shared the Herbed Hummus with Goat Cheese & Charcoal Grilled pita bread. My Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail with Mustard Remoulade was exactly as I like it. The gentlemen n enjoyed their Liberty Charcoal Grilled Burger with Fries and Crispy Fried Cod Sandwich respectively . ++ Add good wine, good drinks, along with very good company. Five Easy Stars. Now let's sail away on that yacht... read more

First off, immediately order the frose. You will not be disappointed. We love frose and this is probably one of the top ones in the city. There is nothing like sipping a frose on the water with amazing sunset views. Menu is pretty basic but great. Sounds ridiculous, but shrimp cocktail is amazing (never thought I would leave a review on shrimp cocktail!) and with the burger, you can't go wrong. read more

Liberty Bistro - Frose - French Near Me - New York, New York

I didn't know there was a French version of Eataly in NYC, although after I came to this location I realized that it's quite far off from the Italian supermarket. There were a lot of restaurants inside but not as many shopping places and it didn't look super cohesive. Either way, came to Liberty Bistro and had a dinner reservation although it didn't look like we needed it as the place was a bit empty. The interior design was super cute with the green sofa dining tables. I ordered the Moules Frites which is always so interesting to me that you would just serve up a bowl of mussels. Either way, I thought that the portion sizes were huge and that I liked the flavor that they drenched the mussels in - very buttery. I also appreciated the green onions in the mix although wish that they had put some celery or carrots in there for some more variety so that you're not just eating mussels. The fries were okay although they tasted very bad when I reheated it the next day. Overall, Moules Frites was not so bad, but I felt like the menu was a bit limited and I don't know if I would come back again for that reason. read more

My friend and I stopped here as we approached dinner time walking around Tribeca, but we weren't particularly hungry. We just wanted to enjoy the beautiful sunset and take in the scenery of the Hudson. My friend works in the area (though now mostly WFH), but she knows all the Tribeca's little gems. Liberty Bistro is part of Brookfield Place and being late in the day on a Sunday, we weren't able to go inside the mall to check it out. We also were seated outside, so being my first time here, I wasn't able to see what the inside looked like. From what I could see vaguely from outside, it looked absolutely stunning and very beautiful. We ordered a round of cocktails (so beautiful and delicious) and some soups. They didn't disappoint and were very yummy. The staff were very courteous and friendly. I enjoyed it here very much and I can't wait to come again - to be seated indoors and enjoy the extensive food menu! read more

Liberty Bistro - Cocktail - French Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for dinner and got to watch the US Open women's final which was a great experience, especially with them serving their signature cocktail, the Honeydeuce! Definitely a more unique experience than watching the US Open at home. Service was good and the food came out relatively quickly. We ordered a half dozen oysters, moules frites, an escargot dish, and a pasta dish. Everything was delicious and savory. I would recommend the moules frites, as the broth was rich and perfect for dipping bread or fries into. read more

Consistently good food and service and great ambience outside. They change the menu frequently but sometimes you miss some of the better items they had on the menu. More vegetarian or chicken items would be a plus. The staff is great.. we miss the tree they had inside but it's a nice dining room. read more

Came here for a Sunday dinner with family and thoroughly enjoyed! For apps we split the oysters, tuna tartar and the crisp shrimp. All were spectacular. For mains we tried the salmon, soup of the day, moule frites and steak frites. The sauce that came with the salmon was impressive and the portion of the mussels was very large. The only reason for a docked star was the service - we seemed to always have to be hunting our server down and seemed ignored for a good portion of the night. read more

I went to Liberty Bistro for a happy hour catch-up with my friend who lives in New Jersey but works in Brookfield Place, where it was much easier to catch her during a quick trip to New York. I don't know that I'd otherwise hang out in Brookfield Place, a mall in a city where I don't live, but I had a great time. Liberty Bistro didn't not feel like a mall restaurant, but Brookfield Place is a very nice mall, and this particular restaurant had a patio with an immediate view of the North Cove Marina. It was busy with downtown office workers and associated parties, definitely a blue Oxford shirt crowd. Service was pretty bad, friendly but slow and inattentive. We had to ask for everything, and all we got was a round of drinks and some oysters. I took a cue from my surroundings and ordered the Frozé Bébé, a refreshing slushie of vodka, elderflower, Lillet Rose, lemon, and rosé. I also liked my friend's cocktail, the 21 and Over, a spicy margarita made with cucumber and jalapeño-infused tequila, Cointreau, and house sour mix. We shared a half dozen oysters and they were good, served on ice with mignonette. I had fun at Liberty Bistro and would likely go often if I worked in or near Brookfield Place. What's not to love about a frozé by the water on a warm New York day? read more

After walking along the Hudson River, found our way to the Liberty Bistro. We sat outside which we loved the weather and the views, the wicker, high top stools aren't entirely comfortable. Having said that, didn't stop us from spending a couple of hours here. Their house sparkling is delicious + the mojito was well done. We shared the shrimp cocktail and the hummus + goat cheese dips. The kitchen accommodated one of being gluten free, so in addition to the pita, they brought out some taro chips. Always appreciated. If you're looking for great service, excellent atmosphere and delicious food and drinks, this is a perfect stop while in the area. read more

I've been here a few times and I would say it's a mixed bag. Decent spot but worth managing expectations. Loves: + The views. Imagine this: it's a beautiful summer day, you're with your friends gossiping over drinks, and the Hudson is right in front of you? Gorgeous. + Outdoor dining area is very spacious + Great spot for corporate functions if you work in Brookfield Place (and maybe even WTC area if you're okay with the walk) Aside from that, I find the food can be a hit or miss depending on what you get. I find the salads and sandwiches to be good (hi, croque monsieur), but the entrees (truffled ravioli, I'm looking at you) to be lacking. Bonus: If you like match boxes, they have complimentary ones of the good kind here. read more

Liberty bistro was a great experience. The food was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was a beautiful place to eat at. It's a nice place eat by the water on a nice day. It's a bit pricey for the portion size of some items, but I guess it's considered more fine dining. read more

Like many other reviewers have said, the French Onion Soup is very good. It's salty and cheesey, with lots of caramelized onions. For the entree, I had the Whole Branzino, which was just so-so. The branzino had a nice sear initially, but the ratatouille it came with was piled on top, so made the sear no longer crispy (1 star off). It would have been great if the ratatouille was placed on the side. There were also several tiny bones left in the branzino (1 star off) which made eating a little more difficult. The Chocolate Mousse Cake was not bad for dessert, but seems to be one that is available at any bakery. The decor and ambiance makes you feel like you are in a cute Parisian cafe. I can see how outdoor seating here in the summer can be quite nice. Maybe I'll check it out again when the weather is warmer and the fish is crispier. read more

On a gorgeous Saturday evening, 9 of us stopped by here at around 6pm with no reservation. And you know what? They had enough space to accommodate us. Granted it was indoors. But we wanted indoors. Air conditioning, you know? It's a bit too dark indoors, but I'll take that over dining in a pool of my own sweat in the lovely but sweltering patio area. Our server was great, and despite our large party, got every one of our orders correct and delivered on time. Standouts were the fresh Market Oysters and my homey Bistro Burger. Maybe skip the Seafood Salad if you're hungry, as it's a tiny portion for the price. Drink-wise, the Summer Daisy and Stress Reliever will have you happily sipping and 'gramming in equal measure. Bonus: Hunt for pastries and/or ice-cream in Le District marketplace that's attached to this bistro to top off your meal. read more

I was visiting NYC and accidentally found this place. I had eaten dinner already but I always craved for steak tartare. I also order a glass of sparkling rose. It worked out really well.

I will definitely come back here when I am in NYC again. read more

Great meal in DC. Very buzzy and delicious food. We had a table outside and really enjoyed the experience.

I really enjoyed my visit here for lunch. I sat inside and still enjoyed my time but on a beautiful summer day outdoor seating would be ideal. The food was delicious. I'm under the assumption that the menu changes because my menu didn't look like what some people other visitors from Yelp had. I had the crispy cod sandwich with mixed greens and it was the best fish/cod sandwich I've had in a while. My lunch visit was more of a family visit but I would definitely come back later in the evening with friends and have cocktails and dinner. read more

My son treated me to lunch here today because he works not far. He always has lovely things to say about this place. Menu was nice not a ton of options but definitely enough to choose from.

Came here on a hot day and made a reservation for an inside table. Reason why i am giving the service a bad review. 1. Lied about broken AC. When we walked inside, it was so humid and hot that I asked the host if the AC was working. The host said "the AC goes on and off." Yea ok, I'm pretty sure the AC is broken since an oscillating fan was placed inside. 2. Service was not attentive. I had two kids with me so you know that it takes time to settle down (wipe high chairs, put down place mats, clean hands, bring out toys). And all the while, not one person came by to ask us how we were doing or to get us ice water, especially in the heat! 3. Attitude on the way out. After 10-15 minutes without service and the kids being grouchy in the hot environment, we decided to leave. On the way out, one host asked why we were leaving and the other answered, 'I guess it's too hot'. There wasn't even an apology of it being hot inside the restaurant. I would have loved to have tried the food but alas, the service was just too atrocious. read more

We sat outside and enjoyed our dinner during golden hour. The views are amazing, and the ambiance really is great. We were sat relatively quickly and our server came by our table often. We only ordered entrees and drinks, we enjoyed the Jolie Cocktail. It was the perfect level of sweet while still having a nice mature taste. The entrees are definitely on the pricier side. I enjoyed my chicken but expected a bit more flavor to the seasoning. Overall we had a great experience here and I'll be coming back to enjoy their outdoor patio during the summer read more

Beautiful restaurant by the river with amazing views. Outdoor seating was spacious with vibrant floral decorations. The restaurant atmosphere was pleasant and unwinding. Overall service was extremely slow, inattentive, and uncommunicative. The hosts can't even move a muscle to smile. I had the French onion soup (4/5) this is one of their most popular dishes. It's your standard French onion soup--cheesy with a lot of caramelized onions. We also had their beef burger (4/5) the burger was juicy with the right doneness, and the fries that came with it was decent. My mom loved the lobster roll (5/5) it was tender and well-seasoned. The nutella crepe (2/5) was very dry, it is not your typical French crepe which has a lightly crispy exterior, while remaining soft and chewy. read more

Great outdoor area for dining. We had dinner at Liberty Bistro on a Friday evening and enjoyed our meal. We started with the Onion Soup and the Tuna Tartare and both were very good.

Such a lovely space! My friends and I walked by this place Sunday afternoon looking for a place to grab some drinks, and we were immediately drawn by all the gorgeous floral decor. We put our name down for an outdoor table around 4:20 and received a text just 20 minutes later letting us know our table was ready. Not too bad! Instead of ordering individual drinks, we decided to order a bottle of wine to share instead. My friend did the ordering so I don't know what exactly it was, but it was a refreshing sparkling rose. We didn't order any food as none of us were hungry and some folks had dinner plans later, but this was the perfect spot to catch up with old friends over some drinks. I definitely want to come back again on my next New York trip and try the food here! read more

The ambience on the patio is truly one of a kind! Wisteria draping down from the roof, sunset on the waterfront, and twinkling lights strung across the trees, all accompanied by *live jazz* (what a pleasant surprise) and fresh air... what more to ask for on a hazy Saturday evening? Appetizers: - Basil, Mozzarella, & Tomato - A classic combo, can't really go wrong albeit a bit pricey for what it is Mains: - Steak Tartare - The waitress came to mix this for us and it's among one of the best steak tartares I've had. Amongst other garnishes, the mustard and vinegar mixed in added a really nice acidity to the dish. Though the dish comes with a toasted and sliced baguette, the perfect combo would be Liberty Bistro's steak tartare on top of Locanda Verde's steak tartare toast... just imagine... - Lobster roll - Essentially what you'd expect it to be, solid but nothing particularly remarkable. I liked the accompanying salad. Service was great - got a paper bag for the pineapple we were carrying around, and the waitress also kindly took a lot of photos for my boyfriend and I to capture the moment. Overall, I'd come here for the spectacular vibes more than anything else. The place was full the entire time we were here for patio seating (inside was empty though), so it'd be a good idea to make a reservation! read more

TIP: If you're one of the cool cats who eat out by themselves, and want to get a table outside, say your spouse or friend is running late and that you'll order for both in the meantime. They have a shortsighted policy of not seating you if you're alone, even when several 2-tops are available. read more

When the sky looks ripe for a lovely sunset and the temperature is tolerable for an evening in the open air- Liberty Bistro Happy Hour is a great way to finish off your day with a friend, colleague, or date. Even families came in groups with strollers and space to spread out. My happy hour favorite- the $5 Kronnenberg Blanc- a fruity witbeir from Alsace that pairs well with a $12 French onion soup and those $5 happy hour hand cut fries. If I had to choose an alternative- perhaps the moules frite instead. The cheese on the French Onion soup bubbled over into those sloppy sides that are ripe for pulling away from the ceramic and tasting the pungency of the cheese all on its own. Service is a little overburdened at times which means hard to find at times tok- but if you expect a relaxed pace and don't mind hunting someone down when you need them- you'll enjoy your evening. read more

Overpriced drinks and food in my opinion. The decor and cocktails are picturesque and the outdoor seating has nice views of the water. Cocktails are pricey at $19. We got the Froze Bebe. Since we weren't hungry, we opted for a snack so we got the mussels (Moules Frites) which came with fries. The menu has it listed as $29. We also ordered a side of bread which was dinner rolls so maybe that was $3 because on the receipt they charged the mussels $32. The mussels were so small for the price, like shrinkage was real. read more
