    Came here after the NYC Marathon to celebrate my best friend finishing. We had a large group and were accommodated outside. Unfortunately some food items were not available but we were able to get other things. The beet salad was delicious and accompanied it with French fries. They had a live rotation of singers that evening and we all were overjoyed.

    Visited Manny's Bistro during a busy morning on UWS after the Maybelline Women's Half Marathon in Central Park but this hungry runner was seated immediately! Our waitress was courteous and efficient in giving us our drinks and throughout our stay. We were made comfortable with plenty of space (feels like a rarity in NYC restaurants). We were started with mini croissants with strawberry jam and these were honestly the hit of the meal. They were flaky and doughy at the same time - delicious and would have eaten an entire basket full! Was slightly disappointed by my frittata - was just kind of plain and thought there would have been more to it for the price. Our table also split the French toast - very well cooked and was sweet but not too sweet. A solid, underrated brunch spot. Would want to try more egg dishes to see if the frittata was a one off.

    This place is usually full with customers, especially when they have music. After many years decided to visit; wish I did not. The portions, quality, service, do not come close to the prices. Rarely have I ever thought about how disappointed I was the next day nor has my partner, that was the first thing we thought about in the morning. we got the escargot to start, flavor wise it could have used some garlic and was not even close to the mussels at la grand boucherie. The seafood pasta portion, I've zoomed in was laughable, flavor wise it was like store bought pasta dressed with olive oil and small pieces of seafood. We ordered the lava cake since they ran out of the apple tart which we only informed of afterwards, and if chili's/applebee's manage to not screw it up, I don't know how the place did. It was over cooked, tasted like a muffin, so small. Our sever disappeared that we couldn't even say anything and it took forever to get the check. Overall, my assumption is that this a local place, frequented by Tony Danna, that people just want to go to for convenience. But, I would hop on a subway train instead or explore other French places in the 80's. A $300 bill for something that was not even 1/4 that worth and the fact that I rarely ever finish my meal and here not only did I, but I was still hungry.

    Live the food, the atmosphere and especially Sunday afternoon with live music. The mussels are always great! Today also had onion soup and endive salad. Both great. Best place on the UWS!

    I've been a frequent visitor here for a few years, and I can't believe it took me this long to write them a glowing review! I love it so much I've spent a few new years here and it's the spot I come to for a relaxed visit when someone is visiting the UWS. It's that versatile, that lovely. Every item I've ordered is delish from the coq a vin to moules to steak a poivre-- you can't miss. Tonight my dad was in town and running late. Naomi poured me a delightful paper plane at there petite bar while I waited. I haven't ordered yet today, but I already know I'll be pleased!

    The food quality is 5 star here, very well cooked and the sauces were outstanding which is key for good French restaurants. We really enjoyed the salmon and Brussel sprouts, and the filet mignon with cheese potato. This was a 4 star experience though because we ordered takeout and when we got there the older waitress at the bar was really rude and insisted we didn't place an order when I offered to show her my phone. She claimed she couldn't check the computer and made us wait for the manager who then was nice but said we had to wait 40 more min for our food. It's also pretty expensive, though the food is good.

    Was slightly nervous given the mixed bag of reviews but our first experience dining with Manny's Bistro turned out to be a pleasant one. I called ahead and was told it was okay to walk in without a reservation. Interior is a classic bistro. Our party was dressed for a day in Central Park but no one batted an eye. Our server was William and it's because of him that we had a five star experience. He was attentive, gracious, and patient with my young kids. He knew the menu and ingredients well. My oldest child has a lot of food allergies. Her favorite food is duck so she had the duck breast. She wound up feeling off after eating a few bites of the duck and decided to stop eating. I gave her some allergy medicine and began monitoring her closely. I brought this up with William. He apologized profusely and said the dish had none of her allergens. I believe that there wasn't an allergen ingredient because of the way she reacted mildly. It seems as if something contaminated with an allergen touched her food, perhaps a contaminated utensil or pot. I appreciate the way William handled everything. He insisted on taking the dish off of our bill and took away the duck immediately. She's been mocked and stared at by staff at other restaurants in the past when she had a reaction so the way William treated her with so much dignity was heartwarming. The foie gras appetizer was delicious and perfect. My next favorite dish would actually be my daughter's duck breast. It was cooked so well and the flavor was great. The rest fell under solid, standard French fare.

    If you're looking for a place that is Classic French on the upper west, look no further. The food and decor takes you to a small dark cafe in Paris, and for a moment your can pretend your somewhere else. The bread is a classic French loaf, hard and crunchy in the outside soft on the inside, served with soft salty butter and a chicken liver patet. The clams, with white wine and garlic sauce, were delicious. A perfect sized appetizer. The duck was the highlight, truly. Tender and melting in your mouth. The hanger stake was also delicious, with a perfectly salted red wine and shallot sauce. Both classics, done well. Will definitely go back to try the crème brûlée!

    French bistro food is excellent and so is the service. Open for brunch too, with crepes and omelets and a delicious chicken sandwich.

    I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

Be PREPARED this Sammie has some chili honey liquid /oil sauce they put on it and it's tasty but it's a lot.

Google their name and "best" and get hundreds of hits, but the majors who crowned them "best sandwich" title include Saveur Magazine, the big one touted by the family; Eater NY, ranking La Paradiso the most elite Italian sandwich outside of Italy; Las Vegas Weekly, who crowned them "Home of the world's best sandwiches"; TripAdvisor, for whom the Italian original is the most reviewed eatery with a near perfect rating; and The Infatuation NYC guides who promise the execution of the crispy, airy schiacciata bread completely justifies the hype. All 17 options looked amazing, so I spoke to a regular in line, telling her I couldn't decide between "La Paradiso", the most praised (even though she informed me "mortadella is just bolonie" or the Hot Italian, which was more my style. So, I did what any gluttonous American would do and I got both. And a Diet Coke, of course. La Paradiso has thinly sliced bolonie for a savory base, with creamy shredded stacciatella cheese, with sweet but earthy pistachio cream, and a sprinkle of toasted pistachio for texture (that I didn't detect). It was good, but I will likely fuggedaboutit. The Hot Italian had thin, lean turkey, spicy and smoky spreadable Calabrian pork sausage, a balancing provolone, calabrian chili honey, and peppery arugula (that they claim adds crunch that I didn't detect). Were they life-changing? No. But I rank Paradiso a 8.8 and Hot Italian a 10. And because everyone is hard-working and everything is so freshly prepared and cut, it's a class act. They should seriously make a sign that says, "Can't decide? Get two!" and then give me free sandwiches on my yearly trips for the idea.

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office.

Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.
