Phenomenal experience at Marylou! We got drinks and dessert and it did not disappoint. 4 stars because the Crème Brûlée was warm under the sugar and I'm 70% sure it's supposed to be chilled; but alas it's a personal preference. Drinks - 10/10 We got the Pornstar Martini and a specialty request of One Last Word with mezcal rather than gin. Ambiance was epic. From one side we saw a group of friends catching up, by the bar we saw a two women dressed nicely and having a drink and chatting. Was such a fun spot and will definitely go back. read more

I've walked by this spot many times, but finally stopped in for a weekend brunch recently. They have several tables outside on a covered patio which is great for warm days. The brunch menu is small, but has all the classics. We ordered the BEC, which includes Gruyère cheese on a brioche roll. The sandwich was substantial and generous with the bacon. We also tried the mussels which were cooked in a cream sauce and of course had to get a side of fries. The pot of mussels was quite large and all the shells were open and not cracked. The sauce was great for dipping the fries. Cute spot for brunch and will have to try it for dinner! read more

I liked my Aperol Spritz and the cheese board but there was nothing really noteworthy about this place. Like I definitely could find the same things elsewhere. And the cheese board was quite expensive. The major selling point of this place is the al fresco seating -- much more desirable than all the restaurants on St Mark's and Ave A, where the patrons / seats are packed like sardines. read more

Made a reservation same day for around 7:45pm, for three. We got there early and were happy to be seated promptly. The main dining area was a bit awkward with the table we were seated at having really just one way in or out. The lighting here was dim....so dim we needed to use our phone flash lights to see the menu. The service left little to be desired. We waited about 15 minutes to even be recognized by our server and didn't have much attention after that. Someone else brought our drinks and meals and we ended up flagging them down to get the check. Food was great, started with the Deviled Eggs, delicious...had the Sauteed Mushrooms...wonderful....French Macaroni and cheese...best we've ever had...EVER, this would have me go back to at least get takeout. Bourguignon sliders...tasty with 2 to an order and the crudites with goat cheese dip...delicious as well. While the service wasn't ideal, the best part was the wallpaper...very risky and when going to the restroom there is a QR code to download an app that made it interactive. lol Something new for sure. All three of us stood there and reviewed the multiple scenes to see what happened, great way to end the evening there. read more

Some really great parts, some not so good. Starting with the good: the salmon was perfectly cooked, so tasty. The rose wine was lovely. The radishes and butter were a nice snack. The not so good: the potato dauphinois was cold in the middle (although to their credit they did take this off the bill), the staff (while lovely) were busy and hard to get hold of. The leeks with the salmon were hard. My partner had the sliders and said they were just ok. To end on a high note, the live music was great! read more

Ambiance and vibe were fantastic- especially out on the patio. The shakshouka was good, I recommend it - I felt like it needed some spice though. My boyfriend thought the bacon egg and cheese was dry and a bit overpriced. Fries were good! Service was a little slow, but then again it was a busy Saturday. Cute little brunch spot! read more

10/10 classy and romantic vibes with delicious food and great service. We made a reservation the day before for a Saturday night. The restaurant is dimly lit with a classy and romantic atmosphere. There are seatings for small parties in the front and more room in the back part of the restaurant. The menu was quite small for food but I liked the food selection. We opted to share 27 oz steak (which come with fries) and crudités with goat cheese dip. The steak was a 4.5/5 - super delicious and perfectly medium rare. The fries that came with it was also excellent. The crudités was a 2.5/5 - they came out a bit too cold. But once they reached room temperature they were better. It's like an elevated veggie platter. Overall, a great place for delicious food and great vibes. read more

This spot's only positives were its decor, warm hospitality, attentive service, and drinks. We ordered the mixed board and beef tartare to start before diving into our bone in rib-eye and sautéed mushrooms. Mixed board - it was a decent selection for its price consisting of 3 meats and 3 cheeses. The ham felt underwhelming, similar to what I'd buy at a deli and the liver mousse felt bland - I've had better elsewhere. Beef tartare - it felt too chunky and the olive oil w pomegranate seeds pour on top made it taste too tart in the end. Steak - at $4.50 per oz, their smallest size was 25 oz so that's what we ordered at medium rare. It was a very fatty steak and came out more on the medium side. The garlic confit on the side was a little under as it wasn't easily squeezing out of the clove. The steak felt overly salted, as well as the sautéed mushrooms. While I enjoy my food well seasoned, there should be a balance in every bite and that's what was missing. read more

It feels like an attempt at bringing a rustic French restaurant to NYC, but they forgot to bring half the menu. The restaurant feels small, the ceilings are low, and it has a wooden tavern sort of vibe. There's an upright piano that wasn't played the night I was there, but I imagine some days there are live musicians that come play the instrument. The food selection is ok, they have some typical French dishes, but there honestly wasn't a whole lot of stuff to order. I got the steak, sliders, deviled eggs, and mussels. I wish there was more selection of stuff to get, it seems like without getting the (very expensive) steak, there's not much else to get. The steak itself is good, but not phenomenal. It's just steak, nothing fancy, except some pizzazz of a smoking rosemary herb on top of the steak. But it's all theatrics, the steak itself is just ok. read more

Pompous host immediately stated they were booked, restaurant empty - his demeanor was crass, we mentioned we will just get a quick drink. He denied, we will never come back here & I will share the news. Could luck making it a another year in this neighborhood read more

Unfortunately I got extremely sick after eating here. Wanted to like it because the vibe is cute. Had the salmon tartar, beef tartar and mussels so maybe I was gambling to begin with. They also pour a ton of olive oil over the beef tartar. I appreciate the attempt at something different and fun but it is a far stray from normal beef tartar. Flavors weren't amazing and almost 24 hrs later I was still very unwell. read more

My friend and I came here this past weekend and had a wonderful time. I haven't able to stop talking about this place to my friends, I highly recommend making time to try it out. We sat outside and it was so lovely, the inside had a great vibe as well! From the french onion soup, salmon tar tar, to the sliders everything was delicious and well made. We ended up spending about 3 hours eating and drinking just enjoying ourselves. The Agave Delight under night caps was such a wonderful surprise and was recommended by the owner, we were lucky enough to to run into him and hear more about the place. The servers were kind and attentive nothing bad to say about them! Check this spot out! read more

3/10 such a bummer because this place is so cute, the lighting is great, the decor is cozy, the vibes are good. The service was okay. The restaurant was surprisingly not very busy for a Saturday Night but now I know why. The food was just ... not good. The green beans were the best thing we had and that's saying something. We ordered the Mac and cheese and it came out cold, the sliders were soggy, and the fries were droopy, not even a little bit crisp. Marylou has so much potential but I think they really need to rework their menu and hire a new chef. At least we know where to get a drink if we don't want to go somewhere crowded read more

Super cute spot, great drinks, cute and fun food options. The ambiance is romantic, great for a date spot a bit earlier in the night, or to later to get the drinks flowing. They have live music on some weekdays! For food, everything was done very well, if you're into French food this is a hit! read more

Love this place, outstanding music and great location. Every time I'm in town, I try to make my way over there.

Came here for late night drinks around 10:30PM on a Thurs and had a lot of fun at the bar! They had some good music and it wasn't as lively as I was told it could get so I'd come back again to see how it gets at a different time! I came after work with a backpack though and the bouncer followed me in to tell me to take it off since I looked like a student with it on so that was the only thing that was a little odd read more

We had such a lovely dinner at Marylou last night! The place is sweet and cozy and we felt like we were in Paris! Our server was wonderfully charming and kind and the owner was present and spoke to us. Although the menu is somewhat limited, all 5 of us, from vegetarians to carnivores, found something to our taste. Some of the items we tried were a bit bland for our taste but we enjoyed it all. We tried 3 desserts and they were all spectacular. We highly recommend Marylou for its fine food and romantic atmosphere. read more

Love this place for a late dinner and drinks. Get reservations because there's typically no walk in. Go here for a fun night.

If I can give 0 stars, I would. I showed up Wednesday, Dec 6,22 with only the bar half full. There is an outdoor seating g area and two indoor seating spaces, which were empty. I was told that I could not be seated due to their being "reservations" for the evening. Most racist restaurant I've been to in NYC. And it's so sad because when you are in France, I can speak for most black women, the service is impeccable and I am always welcomed. I will make sure that none of my family or friends, whether they are black or white, come here to dine. So unprofessional. read more

Had a great evening out at a new restaurant in NYC, enjoyed the service, food, and was about to wrap up the evening with desert when a young man (who smelled like trash) & a creepy old man came stumbling out of the apartment screaming and yelling and blaring loud music. They were belligerently drunk and were yelling at people walking by and causing a huge scene. I could not enjoy my meal and had to leave ASAP! I may sue the young gentlemen for harassment! read more

Great place! Came with a couple friends for a Saturday eve dinner and sat outside under the awning for some people watching.

Great cocktail bar and ver fun and friendly staff. Food was fine but we'd go back for the cocktails!

Came here on a Sunday brunch - plus points for a beautiful patio however attempts at french bistro/brasserie vibes fell through. The mussels were over cooked and croissant with salmon was over cooked by the time it was brought. Great vibes and service however not worth the bites read more
