    Thanks to my friend, who lives across from Quality Bistro and is a regular, I've been lucky enough to experience this place multiple times--from lunch and brunch to even Thanksgiving dinner. The service is consistently excellent. It's one of those restaurants where you feel very well taken care of from start to finish, and the space itself has a lively, polished energy that makes every visit feel like an occasion. The food, for me, is a bit more mixed. There are a few standout touches I really enjoy, especially the butter service and the bagel service, which always feel fun and well done. The French onion soup was memorable the first time I had it, though I've since had an even better version elsewhere that raised the bar for me. Some dishes land better than others. The Caesar salad is fine but not particularly memorable, the pasta dishes are generally okay, and I didn't love the artichoke dish, which felt a bit tough and underwhelming. The mac and cheese also didn't quite hit for me and felt a bit heavy without much payoff. That said, I can absolutely see the appeal of this restaurant--especially the experience, the atmosphere, and the service. My friend particularly loves the fries, which seem to be a consistent favorite. For me, it's a place I enjoy when I'm invited and treated, especially for those little signature touches like the butter service. It feels very indulgent and fun, even if not every dish is a standout.

    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.

    This is the kind of restaurant experience that I adore. We came here for dinner before a concert at Carnegie Hall. We had a reservation and were seated within moments. The place was packed! The dinner items are so intriguing. Why did I love it so much? Because it was like art, but also delicious. I can highly recommend the tableside butter service. A giant cart with a mountain of butter is rolled to your area. In the most entertaining way, butter is scooped and prepared on a marble slab then served to you and yours with many little accoutrements. It was way too much for two people, but we loved every bite. The service was so good, the food fun and photogenic, and I loved all of the bites. I can't wait to come back.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Yes you can. I would dress nice casual or dressy. It's very nice there.

    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!

Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope.

The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.

The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier.

I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

The hostess was really friendly and quicky sat us at a two seater near the bar, which we appreciated. The ambiance was light and friendly and they even had a DJ playing all the good jams! I think I danced a bit, (definitely liquid courage). The DJ read the room and created a fun ambiance. The waitress came over a few minutes later and quickly took our drink and meal order. We ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice ( Yum), Guinness Wager Sliders (Nom Nom), Korean Chicken Boas (My Favorite!) and Carnitas Tacos.....I'm embarrassed to admit that we cleaned our plates like a couple of savages. Bartley Dunnes is a great choice to come solo, meet up with friends or come as a group of no more than 4, unless you make a reservation. They have a second floor that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to check out, so I can't write about that. However, I did see people coming and going straight up. I'll be back!

They have a great happy hour running from open until 8 PM, including $6 beers and $8 cocktails, which is a great deal for the area. ordered the Bartleys Spritz (Aperol Spritz) and a Tequila Mule. We sat at the bar, which runs about half the length of the space, and there were also plenty of tables throughout. The back section of the bar feels a bit separated from the main entrance area. There are some TVs throughout, and everything inside seemed fairly new and well maintained. It was not very crowded on a Tuesday early evening, so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. We did not order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for happy hour drinks in the MoMA/Midtown West area.
