My grandma really likes this place and she recommended it for the quesadilla which she enjoyed…read more She's been picky with food these days so I'm rating highly because she didn't spare a crumb. Well, I did have a bite at her insistence (grandmas!!) and thought the chicken was well seasoned. I ordered the lamb burger and it was missing a bit of an "it" factor. I think I needed the onions to be caramelized instead of huge and raw, but the burger otherwise had good flavor and was juicy. The fries were actually very good, not greasy but not dry. Service was sweet and kind. Doggos everywhere on the walls gave it a cozy feel. Would go back with my grandma!

Fred's was so accommodating for our 20+ last minute reservation for a post-event drinks and food…read more They stayed open late for our group and served us fast as we took over the bar and back dining area that had a lot more space. Fast service, strong drinks. Chicken tenders were a little bland. Love the decor- wall to wall framed photos of dogs.

It was delicious but on the small side so I wouldn't recommend for someone who is hungry. The fries were way too salty. I had to rub off all the excess salt but even then it was so salty. The place is nice though and the server was good.

Very disappointing experience after a friend had recommended this restaurant for lunch. I had…read moredinner and my experience was completely different. Food was barely ok for NYC, but table service was distracted and slow. Arugula salad with peas and grilled peaches: there were no peas and the salad was just a toss of arugula with some balsamic. Waiter forgot part of my order and then it took what it seemed to be a long time to return with the correct order. Very small portion. A hostile and unwelcoming start; the music was terrible and it competed with a live jazz band playing jazz in the museum next door. Person in charge seemed annoyed when I suggested she turn it off, she only lowered it. Looking back, I should have left right away after this interaction. The best thing was the space. It is very pleasant. High ceilings. But the caned music made it feel I was in a cheap fast food restaurant. What a waste.

Though I have not ordered all things on the menu, the food is consistently tasty. Pasta dishes arrive well presented, taste great and the service is attentive. I have tried the salads as well and they are also good, and there are a variety of other dishes that I'm sure are lovely. Fish options as well. They have a nice wine selection, pleasant and inviting not over lit atmosphere. The bar is great to sit at as well. Overall I've never been disappointed and go often enough to notice. A go to place for the upper west side.

I just wanted some crispy rice and tuna and honestly, this was just not my favorite…read more The restaurant has a rustic feel and casual atmosphere. Many people come here for the wine. I did not come to actually sit and dine so I cannot comment on the service, but, the hostess that greeted me and took my to go order was very nice and professional. On to the actual reason I came here. First, it was very saucy. Way too much sauce for my liking. I'm secretly a purist when it comes to crispy rice and tuna, so I really just wanted that simple salty flavor, maybe a little soy sauce glaze, and to actually taste the tuna and crispy rice. Instead, the sauce kind of took over everything. I actually picked up some dried seaweed to add because I didn't really enjoy it on its own. And the crispy rice? It was crispy on the outside, but pretty soft and fluffy on the inside. I personally like my crispy rice, crispy. Specially firmer and crunchier throughout. If you like a softer center, you might actually enjoy the texture, but it wasn't what I was looking for. As far as price, I paid about $17 dollars, which is alot for 4 pieces of lack luster crispy rice. Overall, it wasn't horrible, but it just wasn't hitting the way I wanted it to, especiallyfor the price. I needed less sauce, more salt, and crunchier rice.

An elegant, delicious French restaurant…read more I hesitated when I saw it was on a busy street corner, but then I remembered that in NY, most things are on busy streets so I might as well get over that. The interior is impressive without being snobby. There are booths that have little cubby-like walls around them, creating more enclaves out of the decent sized dining room. The bar on the left would have been a nice place to sit but I enjoyed a booth in the back with a glimpse of the street. My waiter was professional, knowledgeable and affable! I really appreciated the seamless service and recommendations. The prix fixe menu for restaurant week allowed me to try an amazing corn and squash soup with really nice herbal olive oil on top, a tasty homemade pasta with seasonally sweet cherry tomatoes and a yummy pot de creme with a perfectly sweetened whipped cream dollop. The espresso was delicious. I loved my dinner! All the other patrons also looked very happy.

We made open table reservations the day before and had an inside table; it's a clean and bright interior with typical French decor. Our servers were friendly and attentive. Place was packed but the food came out quickly. Here's what we had: 1. Eggplant zucchini sandwich with fries 2. Ham and gruyere with sunny-side up egg and fries 3. Steak frites All three were delicious. Fries were done perfectly. Steak was just right and came with a very tasty sauce. My ham and gruyere was an excellent combo of flavors. Relatively affordable. Go there!
