    Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner at quality bistro. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a couples birthday dinner date night or just girlfriends hanging out upon entry. The hostess was very approachable. I was seated right away, even though my party wasn't fully complete. They still allow me to sit, which I really appreciate restaurants that do that. Now let's talk about food. I got the butter platter, which was a great experience. The bread was very good, it was so nice and whipped and soft very flavorful. The branzino was on point 10/10. The spicy Caesar salad 10/10. Grab a date and head over to Quality Bistro!

    Decent French restaurant in midtown Manhattan, close to Central Park. We had our Friday night dinner here. I tried their popular spicy bird cocktail which looks is very attractive but the taste is not that much. French onion is extremely delicious. I would recommend that. We also ordered artichoke hearts which are kind of tough although the dipping sauce is amazing. Dover sole is a tad dry but still tasty and we loved mushrooms. Between the appetizer and entree, we felt that we got rushed by the waitress. She immediately apologized. A few minutes later, the Manager came and asked if everything is fine. Later they offered complimentary dessert or drinks, we only ordered one more drinks. The interior is very nice and well decorated.

    Quality Bistro slaps on all fronts -- delicious branzino, addictive fries, and a dessert selection worth saving room for (the raspberry sorbet was the highlight for me but the green apple tart was delicious as well!). The mocktail arrived beautifully presented in a peacock drinkware, the staff was excellent, and the overall vibe was great. The one caveat: it's loud, so don't expect an intimate conversation.

    Came here for Mother's Day as we wanted a nicer restaurant. Bonus that they weren't doing a prix fixe mark up, although that might be because their normal prices are quite high. The steak frites, Brussels sprouts, and Moroccan fried chicken, and Mac and cheese were fantastic. I saw people raving about the spicy Caesar but personally didn't get it--I thought it was fine. I thought the escargot were a bit bland. Le grand croissant is an amazingly decadent giant croissant filled with Nutella and accompanied with jam, pistachio, honey sides etc. it was great, but seemed like it should've been more a dessert option rather than an appetizer as it was extremely sweet. We booked this out for Mother's Day maybe two weeks in advance and there were decent times in the early afternoon, but I checked closer to the day and it was all booked out.

    Service and interior of the quality bistro are great the server was knowledgeable about the menu, had recommendations and was spot on. The food came out super quickly and was very flavorful.

    This is definitely a busy restaurant during the lunch hour. Every seat was full. Exceptional service. The wait staff are all polite and helpful. Our server was very accommodating and made great recommendations. There was a bit of a hiccup with my meal. Plastic (I think) was left in my salad so it was sent back. Prior to noticing, I did taste the salmon which was well seasoned. Bread service is a must. Don't skip it

    This place was so cutie and yum! We went for drinks and the bread & butter service and everything was so cute from the service to the display to our drinks. The rest of the menu looked great too, just didn't want to eat too much since we had dinner soon. Would def recommend.

    The food is soooo good. Would recommend coming here in a heart beat and I for sure would visit again. Quality bistro has a French style menu. The ambience and decor is very inviting. The food is also incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Caesar salad was perfect. The French onion soup was cooked spectacularly as the cheese to bread to onion ratio was perfect. The broth of the soup was very flavorful as well

    Average bistro. Came here with friends to get their famous butter service. It was good, but the staff kept trying to take away the encoutrements. They ended up taking away a full plate of ham when we weren't paying attention. Steaks were good but nothing life changing. Our biggest complaint is that we ordered a bottle of wine. Instead of keeping it by our table, they took it away. At one point our wine tasted different from our original glass. We had to ask if it was the correct wine and when they came back they told us yes and that the bottle was finished. It didn't seem right. I understand space is an issue here since they jam pack any available space with a table. But there was enough room on our table to keep the wine. Our favorite part of the meal was dessert. Don't sleep on their sorbet. It was really refreshing.

    Espresso Creme Brulee

    Came here for a company holiday dinner and overall the food was pretty decent. We were constraint to a prix fixe menu that was chosen ahead of time due to our large party, so the options were unfortunately slim for us. But can't really complain since it's on the company. After we all placed our orders, the server then came over with a cart for the Butter Service Garni. Definitely never had butter service like this before and it was probably the freshest butter I'll ever have in my life. For sides, the Jumbo Asparagus and Bistro Frites were ordered. Asparagus was essentially our greens dish, which was decent. The fries were very addicting. For appetizer, I started off with their French Onion Soup, which was delicious. I felt like I could have been satisfied with just this alone. For entree, I ordered the Pork Porterhouse, which had a roasted pineapple sauce on it for enhanced flavor. I found the pork to be dry, so the sauce was necessary. For dessert, I ordered the Espresso Creme Brulee, which was also great. They serve it in a cup as if you ordered an espresso shot after your meal, but in a dessert form. I also got to try the Green Apple Tart Tatin Sundae, which I have to say I enjoyed a lot more, especially if you'e able to get a spoon with both the french vanilla ice cream and the green apple sorbet. Overall a pretty good experience. Some of the courses had a wow factor while other did not meet expectation. Would not mind coming back again if the opportunity presented itself. Hopefully I can order from the full menu then.

    Celebrated new year eve here this year. It was my 2nd time here. Extremely cute decor of each room, except the room closed to the back they took us initially. Crowds were elegant and cute, but the back room was full of tourists/ loud families( maybe because it was a new year eve in midtown) Our server was able to get us to other room, because it was Too cold and loud. - Raw dishes were OK, not amazing. But their scallops and branzino were so good! Must order - Dessert trios fromagos was always the best ! Instagrammable - Not a fan of their cocktails. - Free champagnes for count down. Good for date night and celebration, good service but not your fine dinning service.

    We had THE BEST time here! Highly recommend! We had arrived a little on the earlier side for our reservation and the table wasn't ready yet so we went to the bar and a had a few drinks. They were very refreshing. There is a lot to look at with all the color and decorations and I really loved it. Now, unfortunately our our table continued to not be ready however, they apologized profusely and comped us some champagne! I understand when there is a table that is taking their time and it's not reeeeally their fault as they do not want to be rude. It was my birthday so when we finally were lead to our table, they gave me a card which I thought was such a nice touch. We were treated VERY well and the food, drinks and dessert were absolutely delicious. The service was incredible. The butter service was AWESOME! Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place because we really just had the best time and dining experience.

    For men, would very nice denim jeans with a very nice top be acceptable here?

    100% yes.

    Do they offer alcohol- free beverages? Mocktails?

    I think so

    Can you do only butter service with no entrees?

    Yes!

    Are there menu variations available for kids? I see there is a chicken paillard...do they allow modifications for children?

    This is NOT a restaurant that I would bring kids to - not at all. Look for a more kid-friendly restaurant further west towards 9th Avenue because this is not the place.

    Can we dress casual?

    Smart casual for sure. I wouldn't do errand-running casual.

    Are you able to make vegan food options?

    There's a MaiTake mushroom & truffled leeks entree available for vegans!

    Can I bring my own bottle of wine w a corkage fee? How much is the corkage fee if allowed?

    $50 per 750nl bottle!

The energy in the restaurant was a lot more vibrant than I expected, and honestly, the excitement from everyone around us added to the overall experience. To drink, I ordered the Caribbean Mule. It was refreshing, flavorful, and definitely packed a little punch. A solid cocktail that got the night started right. For food, we ordered the beef fried rice and chicken wontons. The beef fried rice was delicious and came in a generous portion size, making it easy to share. The chicken wontons were also well prepared and packed with flavor. The standout dish for me, though, was the ginger beef noodles. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the beef was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Easily my favorite item of the night and something I'd order again without hesitation. Service was another bright spot. The staff was attentive throughout the evening, and our servers were always quick to help whenever we needed anything. Even with the restaurant being busy, they stayed on top of everything. The one disappointment was the truffle fries. I've had better truffle fries at small neighborhood spots. They lacked both the flavor and presentation I'd expect from a restaurant at this price point, especially compared to how strong the rest of the meal was. Overall: Brooklyn Chop House delivered a fun atmosphere, great service, and some standout dishes. Between the energy of the crowd, the ginger beef noodles, and the attentive staff, it was a memorable experience. Just skip the truffle fries and put that money toward another appetizer or cocktail.

Dinner here before a Broadway show is one of my favorite New York experiences, and it never disappoints. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are always excellent, but somehow I had never felt compelled to write a review until this visit. This time, we were lucky enough to have Danny take care of us, and he truly made the night exceptional. We asked for a wine recommendation in addition to the Del Frisco's Napa Valley Cabernet, and he suggested an Argentinian Malbec that we absolutely loved. It was the perfect choice. We also mentioned that we were on a tight schedule before our show, and he handled it flawlessly. Everything was paced perfectly, we never felt rushed, and he made sure we were out right on time. What really stood out was Danny's energy. He was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the entire dinner feel special. It is rare to have someone make such a strong impression, but he absolutely did. We will be requesting him every single time we come back. If you are lucky enough to have Danny as your server, you are in the best hands.

    Came here for a slightly early dinner after a Broadway show with a party of 4 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation, but it didn't seem like we would have needed one, but I suppose better safe than sorry. The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.
