    Ubiquitous French Onion Soup - 3/14/2026
    Cam E.

    The ODEON 14th March 2026 Yes, I was here back in the 1980s, a kid with my friends, we would hang out here after hours with our French restaurant comrades. Oh, we were so chic in our designer garb. Spending summers in the south of France. Speaking French to the waiters. I loved it all. Simpler times yes, I love the Odeon. The Odeon is iconic New York. Propriétér, Keith McNally, whose memoir I am currently reading, brought the French Bistro trend back in the day to lower Manhattan, also at the time, Anthony Bourdain of Les Halles. Which was another hangout of ours, but unfortunately gone now. It's great to see the Odeon still here 40 years later. Going strong. Très Chic. Très French. Très Fun. Only more tourists are arriving by busloads due to the popularity of LOVE STORY (about JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette on FX currently). Thanks, Ryan Murphy. 5 Stars still.

    Salmon with salad

    This place is from what I remember back in the 1980's. Located in Tribeca, this restaurant was in the middle of nowhere. Soho was a loft district, becoming an artist enclave and Tribeca was a former industrial area in transition. Not a lot has changed inside, from what I can see. The food, however is better than ever. I had the boeuf bourguignon. The beef was like buddah. Rich gravy, beef broth with carrots, mushrooms, onions. I loved it. Even my wife's salad, I mean, how good can a salad be, was delicious. She had it with a nice salmon. Service was prompt and efficient. The vibes from the decor are where Pastis designers may have drawn inspiration. A New York icon, to be sure.

    The Odeon is one of those classic NYC spots that feels timeless the moment you step inside. Cozy seating? Definitely. A little tight? Absolutely. But honestly, it's part of the charm--exactly what you'd expect from a true New York institution. We kicked things off with the French onion soup, and it was phenomenal: rich, deeply savory broth and a glorious layer of melty cheese that made every spoonful comfort in a bowl. The salmon that followed was a bit on the fishier side for my taste, but the tender, perfectly cooked steak frites completely saved the day. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. The crème brûlée was absolute perfection: silky custard with that satisfying crack of caramelized sugar on top. Service was friendly and attentive, and despite the lively Tribeca buzz, the space manages to feel family friendly, warm, and welcoming. The Odeon remains a quintessential NYC dining experience!

    Steak Frites w/Garlic Butter
    Brendan T.

    An NYC and American Classic. As iconic a restaurant as any other in the city, with a storied history, that nevertheless has seamlessly remained relevant for over 4 decades, an astonishing acheivement for a New York City restaurant. Somehow I nearly made it a full 20 years as an NYC resident before dining here, but I've surely made up for lost time over the past couple of years and now will go here at any chance I am lucky enough to get. While the burger is justifiably beloved, and you in fact really can't go wrong with anything on the classic American Brasserie menu of refined Americana my go-to order here is most often the Steak Frites which features a reliably perfect, impeccably marbled and lusciously charred New York Strip along with the legendary house fries, on most everyone worth taking seriously's shortlist of the best in the city. It's also quite likely my overall personal favorite steak in the city currently. For an uncharge, it's offered sauced with a few of the different classics, namely au poivre, garlic butter, Béarnaise, or Roquefort. Again, you can't go wrong with any preparation or lack thereof , I generally opt for the sauce on a ramekin on the side, the better to appreciate the perfectly prepared steak on it's own, and adding the sauce sparingly as well as leaving some to dip the fries in. On the occasions I'm convinced to stray from my beloved steak it's often times on account of a particularly beguiling special, like a deliciously vibrant pasta special w/asparagus, spring peas. artichoke on a rainy early spring day, beautifully highlighting the farmers markets bounty of the moment. There's also wonderful classic daily specials for each day of the week like a delectable Sunday Chicken Pot Pie. I would highly recommend if possible, if dining alone or with one other friend or partner sitting at the gorgeous, classic bar. Not only will you get to appreciate being in the hands of likely the most professional and charming bar staff in Manhattan, making some of the best cocktails, but you will also be exceedingly likely to have the opportunity to get into a interesting and/or wild conversation with a classic New York character, quite possibly a famous or infamous one at that. While the prices certainly come off as cheap in the eyes of many, other than perhaps the fabulously wealthy and glamorous residents of it's surrounding Tribeca neighborhood, perhaps the most clout-coveted precinct of them all, considering it's location in said hood, it actually does kind of rate as a square deal.

    Crispy Calamari

    Appetizers - Crispy Calamari - can't go wrong with calamari. Crispy, chewy and paired with the perfect dip. Salmon Tartar - perfectly diced salmon with avocado. Entrees- Moules Frites - a little disappointed with the mussels. It wasn't flavorful enough and almost each of them had shells inside Steak Frites - perfectly juiced steak paired with the BEST fries. Dessert - Crème brûlée - ended dinner with the best dessert! It was perfectly burnt and caramelized. We finished this in five minutes.

    Had not been to The Odeon for a long time and returned for dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very, very busy but they were able to seat us within a few minutes of our reservation time. The food was okay - we had the French Onion Soup, Salmon Tartare, Croque Monsieur and Flank Frites and for dessert, the Profiteroles. None really stood out but not bad. Our server Sabrina was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was very lively but a bit hectic.

    Had a reservation for 4:45pm dinner on a Thursday night and the place was already packed but we were welcomed warmly and promptly seated. Server Maddie C. was friendly and helpful with our menu questions. We read prior reviews and decided on the mussels, steak frites and dessert. The mussels arrived inedible, undercooked. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt since the place was already packed this early and we're only human. They were very apologetic and quickly asked what else they could bring us. We chose the buffalo chicken dumplings, tasty but tough dough 7/10. The steak frites and fries were 10/10, the garlic butter was stellar. Dipped everything in it!!!! We settled on the molten chocolate cake, which had an ice cream scoop(homemade), and a cookie crumble. AMAZING 10/10. Even with a full house you could have a conversation and not have to shout across a 2 ft. table. Overall 4.5. Close transit proximity is a plus, near several different subway and bus options. If you haven't been, definitely check it out.

    Odeon offers fantastic French food albeit in a jam packed dining room. It's one of those restaurants that needs no introduction. It's simply a mainstay of modern French restaurants in the big apple. The French onion soup was pure cheesy bliss, just the right amount of hot and oniony bite. The Chopped Romain Salad was remarkably flavorful - and not many salads fit that description. This one did, however. I loved the garlic finish to this one alongside the parmesan croutons. Pan Roasted Hiddenfjord Salmon was cooked expertly with just the right amount of seasoning. While it wasn't the star of my dining experience, it fit right in. I was satisfied. Finally, the Creme Brûlée was simply perfection. I loved cracking open the top with my spoon and savoring the vanilla bean goodness. Great, efficient, friendly service. Okay, that's it, you can pick this restaurant now.

    Iconic retro brasserie celebrating its 40+ year legacy in Tribeca. The Odeon continues to be a favorite among restaurant goers sitting on the corner of West Broadway proudly displaying its exterior presence in bold, neon lights. My friend and I visited The Odeon for a Saturday brunch on a Springlike day. The entire dining room was cozy and quaint as well as very busy and loud. We kicked things off with an Aperol Spritz. Theirs was okay. Certainly not the best and I've had my share. They topped it off with 3 olives--totally not signature of this cocktail. We discarded the olives. As far as main, we selected the 3 Egg Omelet with home potatoes. For fillings, I selected fine herbs, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes. This dish isn't served with toast or any kind of bread. While my friend chose different fillings, we both enjoyed the omelet accompanied by delicious potatoes (fries or salad were other side choices). It was excellent. Looking forward to returning. The Odeon has the New York vibe right where it belongs. Solid dining experience.

    French onion soup was good. The one at pastis is better though. There could have been a thicker and richer broth and more crusty cheese on the side. The creme brulee was yummy but it didn't have the crust in the center of the dessert. Overall liked the food and service. Beautiful ambiance.

    I finally tried this place that's been on my list from TikTok and it was underwhelming. The prices are too steep and the quality of food leaves something to be desired. I may have made a mistake in what I ordered, but I believe everything on the menu should taste good and I just was not impressed with my dining experience here. I ordered the Odeon burger and it was so bland, I had to add some sauce and it still didn't taste good. The fries were too thin as well in my opinion. For drink, I ordered the spicy Mezcal because they didn't have a spicy margarita on the menu and while it had an interesting, smoky flavor, it wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't order it again.

    This was my first time at the Odeon. I went with a few friends & they were great. We had an extra friend come and they were great with accommodating us last minute. The vibes in this place are great. It's a very pretty restaurant & was a great spot to grab dinner and drinks with friends. We ordered a decent amount. We started with the buffalo chicken dumplings that were ok..I probably wouldn't order them again. We also ordered the mussels and they were great. For the main dish, my friend and I split the Odeon burger & the steak frites. We ordered both medium rare & they were cooked to perfection. The steak was great and the sauced they served with it was so good. The Odeon burger was also fantastic. Our mains were definitely the stars. Overall, a great experience and I'm looking forward to going back!

    Side of french fries

    Great food and ambiance. Had the mac & cheese entree and side of fries. Recommend both, though my only note on the fries is they are really skinny and small so when you reach to get one, you really have to grab a few at a time. Maybe it's personal preference but I just wish they weren't so stubby. Service was kind. My table was practically touching the one next to me and I felt I was literally IN my neighbors' conversation. But as always, I will return and I love this place overall.

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

The pinwheel shape of the lasagna gives each bite that satisfying crispy edge. The fresh chrysanthemum leaves are topped with a mountain of parm, and the bright dressing just ties the whole dish together. The buffalo milk caramelle is a playful and memorable dish. Each candy-shaped pasta is coated with a sweet brown butter sauce and candied kumquats. I watched several videos on YouTube of their kitchen operations, and it is so impressive how they create each unique pattern on the pasta by hand. They were unfortunately sold out of the lobster by 7 pm, so we didn't get to try it. I would recommend booking an earlier dinner time to ensure that you get to order it if the lobster is a must. Other dishes were still phenomenal, including the Japanese sweet potatoes and the steak al limone, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their take on a tiramisu was a delightful end to our meal. It had just the right amount of sweetness, and the crunchy wafer layers added a nice crispy texture. Reservations definitely require some planning since they open up seven days in advance. My husband and I set an alarm to log onto OpenTable. As soon as the clock struck 9 am EST, we clicked the slot we wanted. If you're quick, your slot will be held for about 10 minutes on OpenTable while you complete booking. When we refreshed the page, the reservations were gone within a matter of seconds/minutes. I think they do accept walk-ins, but expect to line up early or wait quite a while. The restaurant space is warmly lit by candlelight at dinner, creating an intimate, cozy ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a special occasion. Service was stellar. As an avid cookbook collector, I was excited that I could purchase their cookbook, signed by chef Angie and chef Scott, at the restaurant. Best souvenir on this trip! I am excited to try recreating their recipes at home. I will definitely make it a priority to return to Don Angie and to check out their sister restaurant, San Sabino, the next time we are in Manhattan.

    Prior to going to a Saturday afternoon matinee, a group of us were looking for a good brunch spot…read more I had Tanner Smiths bookmarked, so we stopped in. What a cool place! It definitely has the vibe of a speakeasy, especially with the jazz band playing. We went with the brunch special which is $35 for bottomless drinks with the purchase of an entree. It pays off if you're having more than 2 drinks and we made sure we did! Bloody Mary's were excellent! The food here was outstanding. I had the 3 Eggs Any Style and my wife had the Breakfast Flatbread. Those dishes as well as our friends were well made and delicious. If you're headed to a play or just in the area, I'd recommend stopping here to eat, drink or both!

    We came here based on a friend's recommendation and had high expectations, but the experience was…read morevery disappointing. We're three young women in the service industry and still felt completely unwelcome--the hostess told us to find our own seating even though the sign said see hostess. The bartender was rude and uninterested, standing 5 min+ at the bar without even being acknowledged. Another staff member was dismissive when closing us out and rolled her eyes when asked to take cash. The overall vibe felt like we weren't wanted, even though it was only around 11 PM. The DJ was underwhelming and the bathroom was vile. The most pleasant part was the below average $20 drinks. For an expensive, well-known spot, this was a very poor experience. Couldn't pay me to return.

    The place has indoor and outdoor seating--a room at the back is a bit easier to hear each other…read more We had a great waitress named Tiffany. We had all delicious food and drinks--we recommend the fried calamari, French dip, and strawberry pie!

    Came on a Sunday night around 5, but grabbed a seat at the bar first and ordered a few drinks…read morebecause we were still waiting for one more person in our party. Bartenders were cool and drinks were good. Because it was a Sunday and it was pretty busy, we decided to get a table before the restaurant filled up. The waiter was super cool and did not rush us while we waited at our table. I got the braised short rib mafaldine and I gotta say it was one of the better pasta dishes I have eaten in a while. Very thick and flavorful sauce along with the nice texture of the mafaldine pasta and nice and tender meat made this such a great dish. Very generous portion size, too. Even when we were finished and we stayed and talked a bit, we weren't rushed by the waiter and he let us continue to stay and talk. That was pretty cool of him. Also came by several times to drop off water and check if we needed anything else. Some negatives are that the place is pretty dark and kind of cramped. It is also pretty loud, so you will need to speak pretty loudly to be heard at your table. Overall, I loved the braised shot rib mafaldine. My friends also liked their dishes, which included the steak, late night spaghetti, and Mediterranean salad. If I'm back in the area, I will be sure to come back here.

    Went to Zou Zou's for a little bday celebration with gfs and had a great time. Not to mention,…read morethere was such a sweet little bday care when we got to the table. So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty. Oh, and im not much of a sweet tooth, but their dessert was marvelous and the sweetness was balanced so nicely.

    Mixed feelings towards Zou Zou's. Having dined at most of Quality Group's restaurants, we had high…read morehopes for Zou Zou's and booked a table for dinner on Easter. Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
