New York classic. Has great drinks great food and great vibes. Wish their hostesses were more helpful and proactive. Went in with a group of six no reservation, 9pm on a Thursday. We knew it would be busy. We were greeted told I would be 30-40 minutes and sat at the bar for a few drinks. Their dirty martini is delicious, with they had blue cheese olives. We checked in with the hostess around the 40 minute mark, and were told 2 tables had paid and they were just waiting for them to make their exit... After one hour and ten minutes we went up to the hostess asking on where we stool, and one we of being helpful, understanding, proactive, they said we told you it would be at an hour and started making her argument. Not cool, not profesional, not adding any value. Simply not necessary. After we were finally sat, waitress was great, quick and friendly, food was quick and delicious. Had a bit of everything, oysters of course, fries, beef bougenion ( sorry for the spelling) and steak frites. Everything was great. I would recommend you go at least once and if you live close by adding it to your rotation of restaurants. read more

I loved it! It was 200% busy on Wednesday snow night! The bar is cute, I got there early and had a martini then my friend arrived and we moved to the table. I love their onion soup, it's pretty heavy and I recommend to share. We had steak tartare, beef stake, salad and flies then share caramel pudding was delicious! Sorry forgot to take foods pictures. read more

Stopped in this classic establishment for a quick lunch while in Tribeca, visiting from out of town. Was pretty quiet the Monday afternoon we went, however, I imagine it much busier on the weekends. If looking for a classic NYC establishment this is definitely a solid choice. Was impressed by the croque madame. read more

Went here for the first time for my friends birthday dinner last Friday and the food was delicious. One of my friends made the reservations as I had surprisingly not heard of this NYC classic (that's been around since 1980!). Apparently the restaurant defined New York's 80's as a retro haven for the likes of Warhol and Basquiat (how fun?). Two of us, including myself, got the Purple Sticky Rice Bowl, which was amazing. It includes avocado, kale, shiitake mushrooms, and broccoli rabe in a Sriracha broth. You can add a poached egg if you want for $2 which I'm sure would be good, though we did not do that. Also, when you order this dish, there is a $1 donation made to Edible Schoolyard NY, which was a cool cause-integration on the menu. My friend who also order this got a few veggie sides that she added into her bowl. Note that if you are going for a birthday, you are not provided with a free dessert, only a candle if you order a dessert. We ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream which was probably the best I've ever had because it is house made and all natural; you can literally taste the mint leaves so it's very refreshing. This is one of their classic flavors that can be ordered by the pint and I can see why someone would want to do that! The staff is very friendly and took pictures of us as a group. I do wish they had mocktails on the menu. While they have Heineken 0.0, that's not much help for someone who doesn't like the taste of beer. They have a nice bar area that people can wait at while their table is being prepared so it would be nice/modern for them to have an official mocktail section on the drinks menu, perhaps featuring Seedlip drinks or the like. Ladies - since we were doing a girls night/birthday celebration, I will note that there is a Drybar basically across the street, in case you want to get blowouts before dinner! read more

I've been around the block a New Yorker for decades, but the prices here are outrageous and the food is extremely mediocre. Nothing special. Back in the day there was also nothing special about this place its just a holdover from another time. Good vibe but not for a $40 bowl of mussels. Just go Pastis read more

We went for my birthday brunch. It's fine. Make sure you aren't hungry when you sit down because you will be by the time the food arrives. Also it's really pricey and just not worth it. So many other French places to choose from. read more

Had lunch here while in Tribeca. Classic spot with that old NY feel. Food was solid, staff kept things moving, and the place still carries its history without feeling dated. read more

Run don't walk to the Odeon. We had a show at the flea theater on Thomas Street around the corner. We had about 15 minutes and it was delicious. All of it had a vodka gimlet which is a must delicious try the buffalo chicken dumplings. Yum Yum service was impeccable. The gentleman at the bar was amazing tonight and he made terrific drinks. The ambience the vibe is good. We did not eat in the dining area, but it was fairly well, attended, and folks seem to be having a good time. I highly recommend the Odeon. read more

One of my most favorite restaurants in NYC. The ambiance is an elevated classic- French style cafe/diner. The tuna burger and the mussels were absolutely delicious. The wasabi sauce for the tuna burger is perfect, adds the final touch to the burger. The cocktails served us well, ready for a nap. The waitstaff is professional and attentive. Looking forward to my next visit:) read more

Didn't really have any expectations, but was pleasantly surprised! It was around 2pm, not too busy and we were seated quickly (it was just my mom and I). A brunch special menu was offered, but we opted for a French onion soup each to start and two egg dishes. The French onion was okay, but the cheese on top was what made it better than it was. For the eggs Benedict the hollandaise sauce was smooth and delicious and the eggs were poached perfectly. We also got an omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. Highly recommend getting an omelette because it was suuper soft. Overall nothing was too salty and the ambience was nice for lunch. TLDR; try the French onion if you've never had one before, otherwise I would skip it. read more

We had reservations for 5:30 on a Thurs. Were seated immediately and were given a nice table. Service was very good. My husband ordered french onion soup which was hot but broth lacked that strong beefy flavor and he didn't get many onions. Cheese bread on top was good. I had the salmon for a main, which came with marinated grains salad. Salmon was welldone ( waiter did ask what temp I wanted and I said med). Salad was good but overall, the dish seemed very plain. My husband got the burger which came with fries. Fries were good but he also said the burger was just ok. We got the chocolate chip cookies with a side of chocolate ice cream. Cookies tasted alittle stale. Overall, it was a decent meal but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Walked by hundreds of times and never went in. Saw a 1920's style set here for a shoot years ago and was intrigued. Finally came by this week for lunch. My friend and I made reservations but came early. Luckily there was a table available. The wait staff immediately took our drink order but took a while to get to our food. As if seeing our hungry expressions from afar, a gentleman in a suit came by to take our orders. My friend and I both ordered the Odeon Burger, one with fries and one with salad. Both cooked to our preference. It's an enjoyable atmosphere and seems like there was no rush given the busy lunch hour read more

Solid dinner spot. Interiors are slightly retro; service is friendly; menu is diverse and varied without being too sprawling. I got the sweet corn ravioli, and it was very tasty. The corn was sweet, and it paired very well with the saltiness of Parmesan and richness of truffle. The chocolate chip cookies for dessert were also fudgy and chewy. read more

The Odeon was packed when we went for Friday lunch, but from the high prices and average food, I can't understand why. Between two people, we shared: - Moules Frites ($31) - This was a little different than the light white wine broth we expect as it had a creamy sauce. Mussels were sufficiently plump... but didn't love the flavor and wouldn't reorder. - Little Gem Caesar Salad ($19) - Price felt high for this extremely basic Caesar salad. - Steak Tartare ($23) - This was our least favorite dish and we barely finished half of it. Rather than steak tartare, the way it was seasoned and presented felt more raw hamburger patty and less steak tartare. read more

Last night I met with my girlfriends at The Odeon, great culinary experience. The menu has unique dishes to the restaurant, from the specials for the day or the week, followed by the beverage menu with great cocktails , and great selection for dessert including Odeon's ice cream, delicious. The service was PERFECT, from the hostess to the servers. The ambiance, Friday night-NYC Summer; busy. The Odeon is a favorite of my friends, now it's a favorite of mine. read more

The real deal. An aged beauty of a space and delicious food. It might be even more affordable than many other nyc French bistros that serve inferior offerings. I had a frisee salad that was a comfy blend of traditional French with the American Cobb salad. I would like to try everything here. The staff is on its toes. A restaurant that attracts people who like a beautiful space but who also like to eat. read more

The food was very good and the wait time was quick. The wait staff on the other hand were not pleasant or courteous. The atmosphere was fine nothing special. read more

The Odeon had been sitting in my bookmarks for years. I had heard about its iconic status and wanted to try it for myself, but never had an excuse to make it down to Tribeca and check it out. I had almost forgotten about it until one of my colleagues recently ate here and had great things to say, so when one of my college friends was visiting from upstate, I suggested we go here for brunch. From what I learned, The Odeon was a hot spot in the 80s among Manhattanites. It has since maintained that status to a degree, which can account for the sizeable crowd I found as we approached the restaurant. The exterior is really inviting, with a large neon sign up top and plenty of outdoor seating. We opted to eat inside, and since we had a reservation we were seated right away. The interior was a large open space with a medium-sized bar and tables scattered throughout the space. I really liked the art deco décor - it wasn't overstated but just enough to make it interesting. It was packed inside - we were almost sitting on top of each other which I didn't mind but also had not really seen since COVID hit. Their brunch menu had good variety of breakfast and lunch selections, as well as some apps, desserts, and cocktails. Everything looked good, but ultimately I went with the breakfast club sandwich. This contained egg, bacon, avocado, tomato, and aioli. I was given the option to add cheese which I took (I chose gruyere), and it was all served on a brioche bun. The sandwich was great - lots of flavor with that bun was really something special. The breakfast potatoes that were served on the site was the perfect complement. We also opted to get dessert - I chose the Odeon Chocolate Pudding which was great. I usually don't gravitate to pudding, but since they were known for this I took a chance and was not let down - really big chocolate flavor and ultra smooth. Service was awesome - food came out quickly and our waiter was really on top of it. Overall, I had a great experience at The Odeon - the food was great, and they created a wonderful backdrop to catch up with one of my closest friends. I definitely would return - both again for brunch and to discover their dinner offerings. read more

Cute restaurant with a cozy outdoor seating setup. Lucked out and was able to grab a heated outdoor table on a chilly early-spring morning. Server was very friendly and was able to accommodate some special request - somehow scrambled eggs with cheddar is a special request. The grilled cheese was perfectly crusty on the outside and the potato side was yummy. We HAD to get the special weekend offering for beignets with a raspberry and a chocolate dipping sauce. read more

Came in for a quick lunch after a photoshoot. We didn't have reservations, but they were kind enough to seat us :) Didn't have much time to look over the menu. Most of us went for the burger.

First things first: The Odeon is an NYC staple. My mother used to frequent it for years before I was born, and when I first moved to NYC, we went many times together. Though this review is specifically for a Thanksgiving dinner date night in 2023, it's worthy to note, generally, the amazing atmosphere. It's refined and energetic. And when it's not too busy, as in, not during peak times or for a Thanksgiving dinner, I enjoy sitting at the bar. You can't go wrong with their burger and a "bruised" vodka martini. Their fries are unique, slim, and tasty. The service is always outstanding. Specifically, at the Thanksgiving dinner, a manager comped a couples' bottle of wine because their food came out a bit too late. From the hostesses to the servers who evidently care about the quality of your experience, The Odeon does service right. The only reason for a 4-star rating is because the food on Thanksgiving came out lukewarm. Otherwise, the experience was great, as I have come to expect from The Odeon, and I'll certainly consider patronizing it again for this Thanksgiving. If you haven't tried The Odeon, you need to, at least so you can say you did. Tip well. read more

Perfect spot for brunch or lunch in the Tribeca area of Manhattan. Best eggs benedict I've had in a long time and the profiteroles were especially delicious. Customer service was top notch. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful for this ol' first timer. The establishment is a classy, casual environment with beautiful decor and an eclectic feel. I could see why this restaurant has been around for so long. One of the bests. read more

The Odeon continues to thrive after all these decades because, as I found on a Wed., the decor is clasic French bistro, the food is delicious (Moules Frites and pan fried Dorade), the cocktails are well made, and the service is very good. Only draw back is that some of the spacing is tight but you can still hear your table mates and it does not take away from the warm atmosphere in the evening. Reservations recommended. Bar, outdoor and table seating are all inviting. read more

Pricey food, slow service, the only thing that might be saving this restaurant is its decor. I'm so disappointed by this experience. There are limited options on the menu to begin with that I kept flipping to the back hoping for more but there were only drinks. Once we ordered, we waited for quite a bit before seeing our food or our waiter again. We didn't get any water refills or checkins. And even when we asked for the check, more waiting... The food was mediocre at best - imagine an American cooking French food and butchering it with too much grease and cheese. Would not be coming here again. read more

Super iconic place that has so much history. It opened in 1980 as a retro haven. Now a lovely classic restaurant. I have yet to come for dinner but brunch is always pleasant. The service is always impeccable, the servers are always so friendly. A lot of families with their children dine during the morning and day time, socialites, etc. The toast and French onion soup are my favorite. I'm more of a breakfast and brunch person. If you prefer something light and fresh, go for the toast! read more

Always a great experience from start to finish, food, ambience and service. Always jumping.

First of all, I liked the ambiance. Picture included. We went on a Sunday and it was packed. You need a reservation. Our table was ready when we arrived. I was with two foodies. They ordered the cod and the chicken. I ordered the Salmon entree. Mine was full of flavor different textures . They each felt their meals were bland. Well not being a foodie myself, I asked them to try mine. They thought mine was tasty. I would return. The service was very good . read more

Came here with a friend visiting from CA and decided she was my excuse to check this place out. When we arrived, it was packed, and we were originally told we'd need to wait. Within minutes, though, the host managed to squeeze us in. I'm glad they did. We each ordered: Phony Negroni and Ginger Kick - both delicious French Onion Soup - reason alone to visit Mixed Green Salad - I'd skip it Atlantic Cod - actually really good, would honestly get again French Fries - perfect Chocolate Pudding - not the best dessert I've ever had... but still dessert. Service was good but definitely rushed (probably partially our own doing by showing up without a reservation) and she certainly lost interest when we only ordered mocktails. All in all, I'd still come back to try a few new things and repeat a few others. read more

Always love visiting The Odeon. The staff are fantastic and the food is classic New York quality. I recently went to celebrate becoming an American Citizen just before the pandemic hit. The staff must have overheard my group talking about this and brought over complimentary glasses of the same champagne I was drinking for everyone - a classy touch! I always love the tuna burger when I go, and I stuck to formula this time. It is did not disappoint. We also shared the apple pie - nice end to the meal. After the meal we sat at the bar and had a martini. Overall great visit again to the Odeon! read more

We rolled into The Odeon on a Wednesday night with no reservations, and this place was packed! The gracious staff advised us that they should be able to fit us in, in about 20 minutes. So we ordered a glass of wine from the bar and huddled up in the corner until we were called. We ordered the steak tartar, sun choke ravioli, and a side salad. Everything was perfect, including the art deco decor. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

I would recommend reservations since the place was packed on Wednesday night. We had a reservation but I wonder if it was possible to walk in without one. The service is nice and the place is classy.
