The steak bourbon was flavorful and definitely a good sized portion! I could have likely eaten the whole thing alone. But then we ate the nutella crepe for dessert--thinner than the steak bourbon but still good. (I could have done with a bit more filling) We left very satisfied and would definitely come again. It's not for large groups. It's a very small place. Comfortably 8 people could fit there to eat at three same time. If need be you could seat a few more. If you're not into close quarters, it might be best to get your food to go. Something is going on with them and their credit processor so they have a sign letting you know they don't take credit cards. I'm not even mad at that because these card companies are swindlers in a lot of ways. But it is something you ought to know. They do take Zelle, PayPal, Venmo and CashApp though.

Buvette was able to accommodate me for an early dinner shortly after my arrival in New York,…read morespecifically the West Village. Buvette is one of five W. Village eateries helmed by power-chef duo Jody Williams and Rita Sodi; four are within a block of each other. I passed the other three (Bar Pisellino, Via Carota, I Sodi) on my way and all had lines out the door. Carota and Sodi are Italian, Buvette is French. There are 2 other Buvettes in Asia and one coming soon in London. Buvette does not do reservations. Buvette is a charming but tiny/cramped space, made more tiny within the last year by NYC's removal of pandemic-era street patios which greatly helped dining capacity. Buvette may sometimes have a few front sidewalk tables, and there's a tiny outdoor patio in the back. The tables and dishware are also tiny. There's a kitchen in the back, but some food is also prepared below the bar in front, where there seem to be some ovens. The food seems reliably consistent here. The menu is short but there are daily specials. I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger soda, crab tartine (a special), lobster a l'Americaine (lobster pot pie) and frites. The soda is always on the menu and is refreshing, with a nice snap of ginger. The crab tartine was fab, a fresh crab salad with avocado atop toast. The lobster pot pie was made in the under-bar oven, a small serving of lobster and veggies with a golden puff pastry topper. Delish. The frites were nicely crisp, served with an aioli. Service was okay, but my hot food took about 45 minutes to come out, apparently because my ticket was lost. Overall a pleasant meal, my first during this visit.

I loved the table lamp and the Sabre silverware. I would give three stars, but it was a very enjoyable atmosphere so I'm rounding up. My drink was good but very small, as was the quiche I ordered, which was more of a mini quiche. The few pieces of lettuce in the salad were exquisite. I also shared the herbed focaccia bread snack, that was legitimately tasty. My companion enjoyed their croissant sandwich which in terms of portion size, might be the move here.

First of all, the space is stunning. The bar, table, decor and everything looks expensive and exquisite. I mean, they do serve caviar on the menu afterall, enough said. With that, the menu also consists of pricey items. We decided to pass on the food and just have a cocktail. I had the Pineau Cobbler ($20) while my friend got the Hugo Spritz ($19). The cocktail wasn't really to my liking and I noticed I didn't get a strawberry garnish. It's still quite aesthetic, but that's all that this place is. It's pretty and pricey. Also, being located in FiDi, which isn't an area I find myself often.

Service was good, a bit slow towards the end when we wanted to check out but nothing terrible. We asked for wine suggestions as the wine menu was (literally) a book, there was no sommelier and the manager was going to come by. We were able to decide before he got to us and were thrilled with our decision. The manager ended up bringing us a couple glasses of bubbly as an apology, an unnecessary but lovely surprise. We liked our meals though they weren't truly filling. The menu didn't have as many options as I had seen online and wasn't separated between appetizers and entrees. We got the crispy chicken and the honey harissa carrots. The carrots were honestly phenomenal but were really more of a side dish despite being listed amongst the meals.

The smoked salmon in the full Aussie breakfast and ricotta pancakes will for sure make you want to come back, alongside the most delightfully orange eggs (as they should be) I've seen in a while. Dinner? I've enjoyed both curries, the chicken, and the fish. I don't really have a go to since I do tend to pay attention to the specials... The cocktails are great, and my two stand outs are the margarita and the Girl in Amber. They have a small but eclectic wine selection and a nice variety of local beers. If you are going low key, they have some nice fresh pressed juices as well. Service is quick, there's usually room at the bar, and the outdoor seating is perfect when the weather is nice. Good, Aussie-forward vibes all around. Oh, and yes, there's Vegemite on the menu if you really want to commit. I've yet to do so.
