they have happy hour till 6: your second round is free! can be of anything, doesn't need to be the same drink you ordered which is GREAT. however HH for drinks only is only at the bar or outside but they have heaters out and we were toasty - totally coming back! the passionfruit marg was just okay, nothing crazy, but they have a nice wine selection. they made our drinks fast. read more

Cute little restaurant in a booming area. The servers were kind enough to seat us outside under the heaters when we were cold on the outdoor dining area. Cocktails were yummy! I had the lychee martini, could've had like 20 more. read more

Café Soleil has a nice little vibe, low lighting but yet still gave a liveliness with nice little hip crowd will go to. The customer service hands-down was very nice attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious. I didn't get much cause I had to appetizers. I wasn't really too hungry but when I say the salad was super fresh like everything was crisp had a nice olive oil vinegar dressing on it not too much. Everything was perfect. It was so delicious and the Rio bruschetta was really good interesting with the go and truffle and Honey Taste more like a dessert but it was very lovely. I enjoyed the time I was there. read more

This place surprised me! I love the location in the center of SoHo but it wasn't that crowded. I got a matcha latte, which was good, avocado toast and steak and eggs. The steak and eggs I would highly recommend. It comes with sauce, which I'd recommend on the side. It's a heaping portion, could for two people or a solid meal. Steak was delicious and so was the asparagus. Avocado toast was okay. read more

Really cute spot. The zucchini chips were my fave. Prices were reasonable. I want to try their breakfast next time.

As I shopped in Soho, my partner found this spot for us to take a break from all the walking boy did he find a good one! as I was walking, I asked for suggestions from a friend that used to live in the area and they also suggested this place right off the bat. He ordered an espresso martini to begin, but mention how it was so strong when I arrived, I also ordered an espresso martini but added cream, and it was absolutely delicious and exactly what I needed to continue the day. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the other offerings. The food looked delicious. Also the barista or bartender was very nice, friendly and knew what to do behind the bar! read more

Opened this place in Apple Maps and was so surprised to see a lower rating. I've been coming here sporadically for 10 years and have always enjoyed it! Hostesses have been nice fitting me in. I usually come for late-night drinks before going out but recently came for brunch and breakfast and it was also really good. Good food, friendly servers. Also sat at the bar to have a Bloody Mary and Pawel the bartender was super friendly. Ignore the old reviews and come by! read more

We came from Brooklyn for fondue and it did not disappoint!! Jerry was our server and he was excellent. We also stopped by the speakeasy through the kitchen and Carlos made us amazing drinks. It can get a little loud inside the main restaurant but wasn't a problem for the two of us, and the outside seating is a plus! Also saw their menu has food until 1am so perfect spot for anyone looking for a late night bite read more

We got drinks and appetizers. Our server was overly pushy/ upselling to get us to order more. I counted at least 6 empty tables yet he insisted we had to leave if we didnt order entrees. The food was fine but this was of the most irritating dining experiences in soho i've ever had as a lifelong new yorker. Nowhere near enough clout as a restaurant to be acting like such passive aggressive snobs. Cafe select more like cafe reject read more

Were passing by the bustling outdoor seating area at the front of the restaurant, so we took a seat to observe the passerby's and enjoy the last warm evening of the season. Indoor seating was very dark and cramped. Chill vibe, modern pop hits played in the background. Outdoor seating was also super tight--we literally participated in conversations of couples sitting right next to us. NYC and space constraints--gota make the most out of limited sidewalk area right by the restaurant. This is not a place for good food. Everything is mediocre and overpriced. This is a good spot for drinks--$16 gusano [mezscal, honey, spiced salt] hit the spot and was a perfect blend of flavors that would revive any drained pilgrim. The best thing we ate were $22 half a dozen oysters, which were fresh. $18 escargot was the worst--utterly bland and tasteless. A child can make better escargot with eyes closed--just pour the snails from a can into a dish, cover with oil, add salt. Salting this helped to salvage this sad excuse of a dish. $16 catalan shrimp was okay. Buttery, fatty white wine sauce had decent flavor. Most of the dish consisted of potatas bravas and toasted sourdough [only 5 shrimp in the portion]. $17 fluke & tiger shrimp ceviche was nothing to write about. Your typical, forgettable ceviche, that had more filler than seafood. Service was standard. You can find better spots with tastier food, more space, and cooler ambiance. Not a place I'd return to. read more

This place was extremely rude and aggressive towards us after we left a 20% tip and they continued to harass and yell and it made us all very uncomfortable. i do not recommend!!!! especially the young men behind the bar. rude. read more

Went here for drinks and dinner, the service was excellent, burger was delicious, and their martinis are some of the best I've tried. A little bit too loud for comfortable conversation, but still a comfortable atmosphere. I'd highly recommend! read more

Service is pretty poor. seems like it could be a good spot but when you have rude staff holding you back it's going to be hard to succeed.

Perfect late night French Swiss spot. showed up around 10pm and the kitchen was still open with no rush to close. The raclette was served with 4 slices of toast. It was melted to a plate when it reached the tables with about 4 mini potato pieces and 3 cornishons. This went well with the dry cider. We also ordered zucchini chips with came with three dips including hummus. The seasonal soup was a large portion. The food is excellent for the hour and price. read more

Cozy, warmly lit Swiss / Austrian / German restaurant. Numerous cocktails, and gluhwein (like a warm red wine sangria) in winter. Small wooden tables squeezed folks in, in a charming way with just enough room for everyone. Restaurant smelled like raclette cheese. Tasty Swiss mac & cheese, and the spaetzle was generous with its wild mushrooms. Nice for an intimate or small group meal in the heart of SoHo. read more

This place really impressed me. The food tastes average at best. Tasty cuisine. Remarkably good service team. This place combines nice surroundings with warm people. This place delivers a distinctive atmosphere. read more

This is the exact spot you want to pop into after shopping in soho/nolita. Around 4/5 pm on a weekday, it was relatively quiet but provided excellent people-watching. We got cocktails (espresso martini, sangria) and a cheese plate, which provided quite a hefty serving and selection. The prices are pretty much what you'd expect from the neighborhood, the decor is quaint, and the staff is friendly. I don't know if I would go out of my way for this spot, but it'll definitely be a go-to when I'm in the area :) read more

This place SUCKS! This is proof of what a Sh1tty manager can do. The Hostess has a Horrible attitude, arrogant and prepotent... like she's royalty and her word is the law... All tables are reserved except the one she assigns. Then they will not allow any changes, even if it is NOT having bacon on your salad WTF??? They look at you as if they were giving you the $25 dollar sandwich for free and you can't ask anything. Bad management kills restaurants They should be ALL about service... But they are certainly not... The food is actually not bad read more

This is my favorite bar in NYC. I've always loved coming here with my friends for food and drinks BUT there's a hostess that is SO MEAN. She's been mean to me and my friends multiple times and just kills the vibe. I love this bar but this hostess kills the vibe and makes me not want to come. read more

I am so glad we came here for dinner. It gets packed in the evening but if you come here for dinner at around 7-8pm on a weekend - you'll have seating both in and out of the restaurant. We ordered the lobster bisque, chicken strudel, roasted bone marrow and grilled squid. The roasted bone marrow was a huge winner but everything was delicious. Also great selection of drinks and beer! read more

This place was adorable. Perfect spot to grab a drink with friends and also get a cute picture because the interior is so cute! I got an Aperol Spritz that was very delicious.

My friends and I came here on a girls trip for the weekend. We stumbled upon on this place and were super excited to try it out. Our waiter was incredibly rude, when we asked questions he would answer rudely and condescending. He wouldn't give us the time of day, and when our friends food fell off her plate due to burnt bread he suggested we scoop it off the dirty table and eat it. He refused to replace any of it and said she would have to make another order. With all of us working in the food industry at some point, it's about the customers and how their experience goes. This place was extremely disappointing and we will never be back and nobody should be giving this place their money..ridiculous. read more

Swiss fondue was unauthentic with raw potato grapes and apple to eat it. I put the potato on the skewer and in the cheese for 5 minutes. Warm but Still raw! If this sounds weird imagine ordering a burger and having it served on 2 slices of carrot and when you asked for a bun getting 2 pieces of frozen dough. This is not a Swiss fondue. read more

Great vibes and ambiance but the service was super slow and the food was just about average and way overpriced.

good little after work cocktail spot to get appetizers & bottle of wine. also cozy inside for fondue in the winter. service was attentive. not the best food you will have in your life but decent, cute little neighborhood spot! read more

Not a great experience. Service is lacking and management seems to chuckle at serious questions. They close at anytime they choose so don't rely on their hours posted. Food is average here it was not worth the wait: call this a lay resort spot. Choose other places read more

Cute cozy Swiss spot in soho. Try the Raclette & zucchini chips!!! Delicious and crisp with no grease! Cooked to perfection with bubbly browned crisp on the cheese and goey and melts inside. Also enjoyed the quinoa salad protein bowl. Yumm! read more

Snitzel was dry and overcooked; cheese fondue was thin. Greek salad was very good though.

I really dislike giving negative reviews, but this place really disappointed me. Firstly, after taking our order we waited over an hour to get our food. When the food arrived, it was lukewarm. I ordered the hangar steak and it was very subpar - too chewy to enjoy. The escargot was fine, but not the most flavourful. According to my friends, the Zucchini chips were absolutely delicious. I did not try them as I am GF. Finally, at the end of the meal there was a complication with the bill. My friend who booked the reservation had to put down a $20 per person fee in advance, which was supposed to be put towards the meal. When the bill arrived it had not been deducted and had my friend not spoken up, the waiter wouldn't have taken the money off. This in itself was a big ordeal as the waiter had to go back into the kitchen for a while to figure out how to take the money off the bill. This is my second time at Cafe Select and unfortunately I don't think I will be returning. read more

Cool little bistro. Not a bad sized place and at lunch it wasn't too busy. The exterior didn't give a clue to the meat interior. Food was pretty good, slightly towards the pricey side for what you got. I went with a croque monsieur. The bread was the standout. The sandwich itself tasted good, but it really skipped on the ham and cheese filling. There was also a bechamel sauce, but the odd part was it wasn't warm/saucy. It was kind of cooled and spread over the top of the sandwich like butter. (See in the pic) With only a side of potato chips, it was a little pricey for what you got. read more

Love this place. Ice cold martinis and lobster salads, friendly staff, fun clientele. Not fine dining but isn't in any way trying to be. Just a reliably good cafe. We made this our go to spot on a long weekend in NYC recently. Go check it out. read more

I arrived during covid times and they have a pretty good setup. If you have a bigger party you can sit inside the little house they have set up with heaters. If your a party of 2 good luck with getting a seat by the restaurant with heaters above the seats, if not you will be in the street freezing. I was lucky and got the heated 2 seated area. I ordered the hanger steak which was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and the potatoes and little salad thar came with it was tasty. My friend got the bratworth which was also good. The portions are also a good size. For the restaurants along Lafayette in the small area this is one of the better ones. I'd go back with a larger group next time. read more

There is no fondue :( We ordered the croque monsieur instead. It was actually yummy but disappointing when we were so looking forward to the fondue. Service was ok and our waiter was quick to fix our order when he brought the wrong item. They don't offer a paper menu and instead direct you via QR code to a non-secure website with warnings about potentially compromising your financial information. We ordered based off Yelp photos instead. It would be great if they emphasized somewhere online when the fondue is NOT available (look at the screenshot of the website). We would have reserved another day/time. read more
