There's a reason The Odeon is a classic nyc establishment that keep thriving, packed to the rim on a Wednesday night, buzzy, happy and warm. The food is always on point, exactly as you expect it and the service is impeccable. We had amazing drinks and shared a few plates, the moules frites being an absolutely delight and my fav in the city. read more

The place is pretty and staff are nice. But it's honestly super overpriced, even for Manhattan. I got a grilled cheese, $23 for bread and cheese. Seriously?!? The French fries were tasty and there were a bunch of them. However, shortly after leaving my mouth felt like I had licked a salt shaker. The aftertaste was not pleasant. The grilled cheese was super greasy. My date didn't really like his meal either, which was $28 for veggies. I don't know if I would come back. I definitely would order something different if I did. read more

The service here is really good. Food and drinks come out really quick and the pancakes and cucumber martini would get me to return any time. Highly recommend making reservations in advance to enjoy your meal. Weekends are super busy. I personally think there are toooo many chairs and tables which makes it crowded but it also gives a classic old New York feel. They also have matches! read more

I went to Odeon for my birthday lunch. I'm not one to write negative reviews, and tend to respond positive. Waiters kept bumping into my husband because we were seated in a major walkway. When he got hit in the back by a waiter transporting a high chair, we asked if we could be moved. the manager-like person was brought over. We asked if we could be moved, and she shared that she could have us moved when the next two-seat table was available. We met our second waiter, who was nice, because the first waiter lost our order - and had to reorder. We saw two seat tables being cleaned and offered to new diners. So I got up to speak to the manager-like person. She told me that this wasn't her responsibility. She said someone else was responsible. I shared that she was the one we had the discussion. Her response, not her responsibility. So I said I was leaving. She offered to comp parts of our meal, and apologized that I had the misunderstanding. As soon as we left, I receive notice from OpenTable that our reservation was cancelled - which I've learned means you can't write a negative review on OpenTable. I don't think I would have even tried to find alternative ways to write negative review, but the cancellation was just another way of being dismissed. Why not apologize and be sensitive to eaters when moving chairs? Why not have the initial waiter acknowledge what happened? Why repeatedly put your colleague or guest at fault? read more

First came here in the early eighties and loved it then as much as now . This is my favorite place for French onion and steak frites !!!!! The Americana deserts are the bomb . Downtown hipsters and tourists alike. So glad it's still there. Go you won't be disappointed read more

A classic NYC restaurant that continues to shine! I went here for my birthday dinner and was blown away. From the food and drinks to the service, it was one of the best dinners I've had. My boyfriend and I ordered martinis that were chilled to perfection and oysters that were out of this world. Dinner didn't disappoint either. I had the tuna burger which is always good and my bf had the steak special. For dessert we had a scoop of their in-house ice-cream, passion fruit sorbet. They even put a birthday candle on it, which was so special. Definitely don't skip the dessert here!! Don't think just make that reservation and experience once of the classiest meals of your life! read more

The Odeon never disappoints - great food and ambiance that has served TriBeCa well for the 25 years since I was first a customer here

First you walk in and are greeted by Roya and led to an amazing table to start your journey. Beautiful space. Classic and elegant. Then Amanda takes over. Perfect server in every way. Cocktails first. Martinis are crisp and manhattans are better. Mussels, fries, onion soup and pumpkin ravioli are all fabulous! But end with donuts! It's a must. All in all a quintessential NY spot. Just go!!!! read more

Lovely ambience and attentive service staff. Food was pretty good too. My friends and I had a lovely time there.

We came to this restaurant because it was highly recommended, I have to say that it was average at best, the French onion soup had a great layer of cheese but the broth was lacking flavor. The ambiance was nice but the decor was outdated and a bit run down. read more

1130 reservations and they were packed! Our waitress took great care of us and wasn't overbearing or trying to turn the table. Steak tartare was some of the best I've had. My partner had champagne and i got a bloody mary. The croque monsier was amazing; i added an egg but it wasn't necessary. My partner had the breakfast club sandwich; must have been a full avocado on it; very good. Five minute walk to her condo so we will definitely be back! read more

Can't believe I haven't submitted a review yet this is my favorite restaurant. Have never had a bad meal or experience. I love all the food, drinks, service. read more

The food here is pretty standard French-American fare, but you know what I love about this place? The people-watching. Fancy, Tribeca-ites dressed to the nines with their purebreds, chatting about their summer getaways in the Hamptons or Cape Cod or other rich, WASPy enclaves. It's like a scene from Billions, except it's real. Food-wise, I had the decidedly un-French Purple Sticky Rice Bowl with avocado, kale, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli rabe, Sriracha broth, plus a side of fries. I don't remember if my meal was good because I was too busy listening to the trophy wife next to me describe how hard it was to find the perfect Klimt to decorate their new East Hampton foyer. read more

The Odeon is always a good choice for a solid meal in Tribeca. We had: - Lobster Roll - very good - Three Egg Omelet - very good The Odeon is not exactly a diner, but not quite a brasserie. In my opinion, it is somewhere in the middle. The service is good and the food is consistent. read more

Classic location in Tribeca good drinks and burger the salad is on point also don't think it will disappoint

What a beautiful French Brasserie! Gorgeous old school, classy, elegant and clean. Nostalgic and glorious vibe; art deco meets late 70s. Oysters to start, mussels with an amazingly rich broth (with leeks/onions), burger top notch, and profiteroles that I can't stop thinking about. Fantastic polished service, good drink list. What else can someone asks for?! Great place for all occasions really. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

The Odeon is a great option for brunch/lunch in downtown Manhattan. We arrived on a Sunday around noon without a reservation and we waited about 10 mins for first available. We were given a nice table outside under a canopy and outdoor heater. The food and service were good. This spot is nice to people watch too. The inside dinning was very crowded when I went inside for the restroom. read more

It was my first time trying this place, I called to make reservations for dinner. It was quite busy when we arrived and the space was tight. I was surprised a French place didn't have bread service. The server got straight to our drinks. I was a little disappointed there, so we order some appetizer, oysters and onion soup. Food was good, I had their skirt steak with fries, medium rare, and my partner had the lobster sandwich. I was a-little pulled back by the change of servers, constantly within the hour. I guess the shifts was being change or something, we were introduced in the middle of our dining three times. In the end I wasn't even sure who was our server. read more

Had a great brunch at The Odeon. Subtracted a star because I ordered Eggs Benedict with the Hollandaise sauce on the side instead of on top, and they forgot and did not offer to remake it. read more

It was my birthday so I had half the menu. Duck was my favorite my parents liked the bouillabaisse, the steak au poivre was good but sauce had whole peppercorns which was a bit strong and off putting. The escargot were to die for and my favorite. Beef bourginon was very good! Overall I totally enjoyed my meal and the service was excellent! read more

The Odeon has been around just as long as I have, and has been serving really good food for 40 years. Apparently it's where a lot of famous people used to hang out in the 80s including the cast of Saturday night live, Madonna and the like. I've only gone there recently but was really impressed with the decor, the food, service and the outdoor seating. I have tried the salmon and the banana trifle dessert the first time I was there and both were satisfying, tasty and well proportioned. This time around we went for the classic burger was definitely shareable. It came with fries that were perfectly crisp and not greasy at all. I also tried the burratta salad with the beets. The beets were perfectly pickled and they were the lighter colored type. Burrata was good even if a little small. I also had the purple rice bowl and it was a great vegetarian dish with a lot of flavor and a lot of different veggie elements in it, even for a non -vegetarian. It was in a spicy Sriracha broth and included a poached egg on top which completed the dish by bringing it all together. read more

Came here for quick snacks + drinks as kids were dropped off at a party place nearby. We were there at 3:45pm so the restaurant had plenty of tables available. We were seated right away and we ordered: - espresso martini (not on the menu) - calamari rings - fries - glass of white wine Espresso martini was nice. I would definitely order it again. All the other items were also pretty nice, calamari and fries were nice and crispy. Decor of the place is pretty nice. Feels like you have stepped back in time. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to try out all the other items on the menu but will likely to come back in the near future! read more

Food was super average. Honestly below average. Extremely expensive with minimal flavoring beyond lemon, salt, and black pepper.

Classic French and New American cuisine. The seasonal squash salad was the highlight. Good service. Seating is tight but manageable.

Came for dinner and our server Jess was excellent. The ambience was very quiet and mellow and due to the fact that there's a pandemic and not too many people around and service was extremely attentive from the buss boys to our server. The French onion soup and Caesar salad were very good as was the steak. read more

Delicious old school New York French Brasserie. A classic New York haunt and a Tribeca staple, the Odeon is comforting, a neighborhood gem with delicious food and great service. American - French menu with classics like the French Onion soup among many other delicious menu favorites. This relaxed brunch spot is still hustling after decades in the biz. Great for brunch or a late night bite and a drink. The Odeon is a well seasoned favorite that delivers time and time again. This was my after club spot in the 90's and has such wonderful memories of the after hour fine art and club scene. read more

The Odeon is New York. Fabulous patrons, amazing menu, flawless service. We had the pleasure of dining on December 23rd and the experience could not have been better. The omelet was executed perfectly, the martinis were bracingly cold, and the steak tartare was simple in the most perfect way. I can't wait to go back. read more

A recent Sat eve dinner was so awful, it compelled this *local* to write a review on Yelp. Odeon was once the clubhouse of art world. It was fabulous and delicious in its' day. It had morphed into a reliable, fast casual, family friendly restaurant in the neighborhood, at times perhaps too family friendly. Service was fine, but there's a distinct vibe their mission is to get you out from the moment you sit down; the speed the food came out, within a couple of minutes ordering, was bizarre and heart burning. We ordered simple cocktails, standard stuff by every measure. A vodka/soda was served up as vodka/water, no spritz in the apperol spritz. The calamari appetizer (special), was quite good, a teeny, tiny portion for the price. Their signature Frisée salad was inedible, greasy, overdressed and left a bad aftertaste, like something was rancid. The steak frites was barely passable, the frites are still good, the steak was fatty and tasteless. The portions are kiddie size and at post-covid prices. We chose to be seated indoors because their outdoor dining set-up is so closed up, they're hotboxes with no air movement. Perhaps this works in December, but not in August. It's time to take the outdoor shed's down, Odeon's sidewalk setup of enclosed lean-to structures don't conform to the rules of the outdoor dining program. The shanties are a constant reminder of the pandemic, we need to move on, all of us, that includes our restaurants. read more

The Odeon is far more than your typical French bistro. The ingredients are fresh and locally-sourced, and are very obviously grown with the greatest of care. My friend and I did have to wait a few minutes to be seated, but our wait was less than the amount of time they told us. Still, I would have been willing to wait even 45 minutes for this food. I went with a friend and had the Burrata and the Sweet Corn Ravioli. The Burrata was the best I have ever had. It is a relatively small piece of burrata on a piece of garlic toast, with some kind of a green (I think arugula or spinach) and orange cherry tomatoes on the side. The garlic toast was phenomenal. The butter was of a much higher quality than what you can find at a super market and the ratio of garlic to butter to salt was perfect. The coarse texture was perfect when paired with the smooth burrata, which was just enough to spread on top of the toast: not too much and not too little. I finished every last bite. I thought that nothing could match how good the appetizer was...until I had the Sweet Corn Ravioli. It sat on top of a thin layer of mashed sweet corn, and the dish itself was as visually appealing as it was delicious. The ravioli was arranged in a beautiful shape and was topped with paper thin slices of a salty cheese (pecorino or romano, I think) and equally-as-thin summer truffles (ACTUAL truffles). I let my friend try one bite, and he was tempted to order the ravioli on top of his appetizer and entree. It was so good that I focused on enjoying the symphony of flavors in my mind and totally forgot to think about how it could have been made. The consistency of the ravioli itself was perfect as well: not chewy, not starchy. It just melted in your mouth. FInally, we had the dessert: a blueberry cobbler. Based on the rest of the meal, I already had high expectations, but the desert still managed to exceed them. The blueberries oin the cobbler were cooked but still round and juicy, the biscuit on top had the perfect crunch, and the icecream not only paired well with the cobbler, but also had a sublime flavor on its own. My friend ordered the Sancerre wine, which was also amazing. It had notes of apple, peach, pear, Yuzu, cranberry and strawberry, with a very strong finish, especially considering that it was a white wine. The person who picks the wine there is on point with his/her selections. Our servers were friendly and pleasant as well. They were attentive to my dietary restrictions and were happy to answer all of my questions, even if they involved going back to ask the kitchen. They were also very attentive to detail, giving us unique utensils that were tailored to each dish we ordered. I also appreciated that we got fresh utensils with each course we ordered, rather than having to use the same ones over again. This restaurant was a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny. I loved this restaurant and will definitely be returning. read more

Worst French onion soup in the world. Not a real French restaurant, please avoid to save yourself money and go elsewhere

Yeah, it's THAT good! For starters it's a GREAT room! So many other bôites spoil the chance to create ambience, they could learn a lesson here. Intimacy is Odeon's currency i.e. it never feels crowded or lonely. Then there's the friendly, knowledgeable servers who know how to read a table and deliver professional, authentic service. Plus a smart/eclectic menu with reasonable prices (?!?). Here's a joint NOT resting on its laurels. FORTY years on and it still ROCKS! Everything we ordered was delish: Crispy calamari with two delectable dips; the best steak tartare in years; formidable frisée salad; moules frites to die for; a PROPER croque madame; wicked mac 'n' cheese; and dessert choices sooo good we ordered [an embarassing] THREE! (Why I let my guests talk me out of the onion soup we'll never know, but...there's always next time -- which I hope is SOON!) If I lived closer I'd be bankrupt and...heavier. Thank you, Odeon, for the best TriBeCa lunch in YEARS! read more
