Came here twice and enjoyed it very much both times. Great service as well as the food. Probably my favorite french restaurant in the nearby area :) read more

Here tonight with the girls for HH. Drinks are $5 each on Mondays from 5-7pm. We got the table at the front by the window, pretty intimate and cute display of vintage bottles. Seating was a little tight though, my seat was right in front of a stool by the bar and the back of my head kept hitting the stool every time I layed back. Okay, $8 for 4 teeny pieces of their starters? Pretty expensive, and wasn't that flavorful. The mac and cheese tartlets were bland and tasted like the ones you can get in the frozen aisle, also got the risotto puffs which were piping hot and savory. It's a french place, gotta try their escargot of course. I have to say, it was the best plate I had tonight, was still bubbling when it got to our table, nice and garlicky, and the sauce was great with the bread. Next, the ham and gruyere cheese panini, ehhh just like a regular grilled cheese sandwich I can make at home myself, nothing special. How bout the bacon quiche? It was nice and creamy, could be better though, one side was kinda burnt. Overall, small intimate place for small talk before or after dinner. read more

Jadis - Ham and Gruyere Cheese Panini, Escargot, Bacon Quiche, Risotto puffs and Mac Cheese Tartlets. - French Near Me - New York, New York

This is a cozy, nice wine bar with an extensive wine menu. There is a lounge area inside which is where you can get just drinks while the front of the restaurant has tables where you can get food and drinks. We did have to wait a little bit (~30 minutes) to get a table for 6, but the staff was very nice and accommodating. I'm actually not a huge wine person, but they had a lot of different options which looked interesting to me. We actually got a few pitchers of sangria which was nice. It was refreshing with the fresh cut fruits in the glass. For some of the other wines, you can get it by either glass, carafe, or bottle. Some of my friends got the food as well and seemed to enjoy it. Overall a solid place to spend a night and try out different wines. read more

Jadis is FANTASTIC! pros: - everything on the menu looked wonderful. there wasn't an overwhelming array of options and it was thus relatively easy to choose something for the night. - we got the duck rillettes, the artichoke & parmesan crostinis, the quiche lorraine and the creme brulee. all absolutely delicious. - cute decor - really nice ambiance - good service cons - got really packed as the night went on (9pm-ish; when we arrived at 7:30, it was totally fine); it might be hard to get seats overall, it was a great experience. the back had some nice couches and an open area which looked pretty cool. we were a bit wary about coming here because all the reviews raved about the wine, but it's a perfectly great place to go even if you don't drink. read more

This was the perfect place for an intimate catch up with my high school friends, who I haven't seen in a while. Normally, it can be tough to get seated in a NY bar (especially on a Saturday night), but we managed to snag two couches that fit our group of 6! We comfortably sat there for about 3-4 hours without feeling like anyone was hanging over us, waiting for us to leave. I was also impressed by their extensive wine list - they even had a white wine from this little island in Croatia (Korcula) that we enjoyed. We had tried great white wines during our trip to Croatia, but as you can imagine, it's hard to find Croatian wines in the U.S. Our waiter gave us the perfect amount of service - not too attentive where it's bothersome, but came to our table enough times to refill waters and wine glasses. I would definitely come again when I'm back in the city! read more

Great happy hour with orange wine! Loved the cheese plate. The outdoor set up was cozy and warm with heat lamps in the winter. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Came here one night to get my gf's mulled wine fix. I, on the other hand, wanted to try out their menu. The escargot, delicious. Scallops, cooked wonderfully. The mulled wine, excellent (according to my gf because I drank a cabernet). Also had a nice charcuterie plate with some good cheese and surprisingly good chorizo. Will definitely go back for more. read more

Lovely outdoor meal at Jadis enjoying a tarte flambee and a charcuterie board that was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed their pate and I plan on coming back to have more and do it all over again with another frozen aperol spritz! Very nice staff, will need to try the creme brûlée next time! Highly recommended! read more

Loved this spot for happy hour. The happy hour deals were very good, and the food menu had tons of delicious-sounding bites. There was a single small table outside and we asked to be seated there. Excellent people watching. I had a couple glasses of the viognier before switching to another white. I ordered the ham, gruyere, and caramelized onion pressed sandwich. The sandwich was tasty and came with a delicious side salad that had the most perfect cherry tomatoes. My friend had the alsacienne tarte which was absolutely phenoms. I would definitely get that on a return visit. A visit to the bathroom revealed a really chic lounge area towards the back of the restaurant - such a cute place for a small group gathering. I'd love to return on a future visit to the city. read more

My boyfriend and I spent Valentine's Day here. They were very attentive and accommodating and made sure we got an inside table as requested. Our waiter recommended a bottle of wine that did not disappoint. Flower petals and roses on the table- just incredible touches that made the evening a success. The 3 course prix fixe menu had great options and we left tipsy and happy. Will be returning. read more

This is a cozy wine bar with plenty of space to sit on the couches or at the bar. There's plenty of wine options as well and some bites. I overall recommend this place. The sound is ideal because you can actually talk without shouting your lungs out. read more

An excellent little wine bar for first dates, chatting with friends and enjoying affordable wines selected with knowledge.

Not sure about the food here, but it's a perfectly cute little wine bar! Fair prices, cozy atmosphere and attentive service. I definitely would have gotten a charcuterie board, but we were too full so we just decided to split a bottle of wine. It was the perfect place to chat with friends and catch up for a nightcap! read more

So giving an update since my review was in 2015. It's 2020 ya'll and I still love this place. Still my go-to wine bar for happy hour around the area and if I'm not craving anything or want to stay within the area after work when I see my friends this is my default place. Their happy hour menu has grown since my last review and so has their food menu. They've added many new dishes and I can still vouch that their food and wine is still great! Exceeds expectations since they don't have a full kitchen. read more

Fancy, French, sexy. This place feels like everything you want in a casual date night spot or a low-key place to catch up with a girlfriend. My friend and I ordered the panini and Anna salad. She would have liked a balsamic with the sandwich but no complaints from me. Great ambiance, and decor. read more

This is a jewel. Need a romantic date night? Girls night? Highly recommend. From the ambiance, dark , candles, brick walls.. beautiful. The service is outstanding. They truly want you to have and enjoy each moment. The skirt steak and potatoes is seasoned to perfection. The wine list is extensive and good.. We tried the French red wine..and the manager even came by to introduce us to a wine in a region of Hungary. Amazing top notch service.. You don't have to wait for Wednesday to wine down...they do it every day with happy hour.. read more

Perfect wine bar in the lower east side. Great happy hour specials from 5-7. The cheese board and bacon wrapped scallops are perfection.

I love this place. Jadis is perfectly understated and over preforms with everything. The food is excellent, the vibe is perfectly intimate and relaxed, and the wine selection is amazing. Happy hour is my ideal time to come here but I've also been caught staying until they close. It's cozy and warming, a perfect date spot or spot to take a tiny party of 3/4. read more

I've been to Jadis 4 times in the last 5 months which may lead myself to believe im a fan but after the last visit ive come to the conclusion that we end up there because of proximity, dim light ambiance & fair prices. However, somethings can be said about the service. Happy hour is a good deal for the area, plenty of 5$ and 6$ a glass selections or wines and beer, we usually get a cheese & meat board, pick 4 for $22 i believe it was, the mushroom puffs, flambes are good but wow, that beet salad was good. the setup is adorable, very european feel with a clutter of bookshelves, antiquey lights and really really really worn down soft sofas which sink once you sit down, that or you can opt for the uber hard stools with no back support. the service has never been warm, its never been downright rude either however we always feel rushed to enjoy ourselves if the plates are emptied and our glasses are half full, the waitress' attitudes are very brusque and unwelcoming, they simply plop around and ask do you want another glass of that? if you or someone answers no, they go off in a semi huff worth a visit if you're in the area but they are plenty of other if not better options read more

Jadis - That beet salad tho - French Near Me - New York, New York

A perfect low-key spot to enjoy some wine and nibbles with friends. No crowds, no hovering for tables, lots of wood decor, and a convenient location. We were in the mood for a Lambrusco and luckily there was a bottle on the menu for $42. With that and a combo cheese plate for $24 (for any four items on their cheese/charcuterie menu, which was a really good deal), three of us were happy for a long time. I couldn't tell if the waiter was mansplaining or just really helpful ("Lambrusco is a sparkling wine"), but in any case he was very friendly and loved telling us how to pronounce the cheeses we weren't familiar with. A very cozy little hideaway for intimate and comfortable dates, made all the better with lots and lots of wine! read more

Great food and ambience. We were seated at the bar. But they have a little lounge area with the couches. Great service. Like all the small plates we ordered. read more

Jadis - Eggplant & Tahini Dip with Crudités. Mini crab cakes. Mushroom truffle risotto puffs. Ham sandwiches. Saumon fume quiche. - French Near Me - New York, New York

Jadis is a low-key and useful wine bar in the Lower East Side on a sleepy stretch off Roosevelt Park. Though their happy hour is a major draw, this is less of a party spot and more of a quiet spot for a catch up with a friend or a second date. Lighting is dim, though this is more cozy than it is romantic; the back of the space feels more coffee shop or living room-like, so I'd go for the front room for people-watching if in a smaller group. On a weeknight, it was near-empty, and I don't think it's difficult to get a table on weekends either. Prices on wine are reasonable, with glasses ringing in around $10 and most bottles around $40 to $60. The selection is wide-ranging, with solid coverage on France, Italy, and Spain, and a notable focus on Georgia and Hungary. It's very approachable for novices and it's not hard to find something you'll like; waitstaff is also helpful. Wine snobs may quibble, but budding oenophiles will be pleased to find familiar faces and a few new but not too niche strangers. Some sustainable producers though Jadis doesn't seem to be chasing the natural wine wagon like everyone else in town. Food selection is largely meats and cheeses, with a smattering of cooked dishes like risotto balls or bacon-wrapped scallops. My friend and I opted to assemble a charcuterie board, which ended up being pricey for the portion but with good quality ingredients. A nice spot to keep in your back pocket. read more

A cute little spot! I enjoyed their cheese plate thats was $24. I got pecorino, gruyere, goat brie and camembert - it comes with bread, butter and grapes. We also got a bottle of red wine The design of the place is industrial and cozy and it was fairly crowded on a Tuesday night The staff is a little impatient and not attentive unfortunately. read more

This was my wife's and I first time here and we experienced Amazing food and fabulous service, we weren't rushed at all, choice of wine was worldly. An excellent choice of appetizers which good thing we didn't finish all of it or we wouldn't have had enough room for the awesome dinner, the ambiance had a European atmosphere. The night capped off with delicious dessert, and our family enjoyed the whole experience. read more

Seems to me like the French version of Veloce. A little more rustic, and a little less conveniently located (when, oh, when will the LES craze be over!?), but all-in-all a faboo place to sample some wine by the glass, carafe or bottle, some fabulous duck mousse and delicious French meats and cheeses Love the communal table feel and the friendly staff of Frenchies (well, as friendly as the French get), but everything we ordered was right on the money, and our waiter was more than attentive - to find out just how attentive, you'll have to ask Russ W...my lips are sealed. read more

I came here for the first time easily about a decade ago with friends. I then forgot about it, because it was in a hood I didn't get to much. Fast forward to last Friday: I needed a place to have a difficult conversation with a guy I'd been dating. The chances of it turning out to be our last were high, though I didn't want it to be. You guys, this may seem weird to say, but this is a great bar because it's *just as appropriate* to hang here to catch up with friends, as it is to sit down with a guy who's about to break your heart. And who can say that about most bars? The staff! Oh you guys, thank you. Quiet couch to talk and not have to shout? Yes. Discreet service and regular check-ins that weren't obtrusive? Oh, yes. Subtle but effective lighting that flattered my sleep-deprived and ravaged face but didn't hinder my ability to see my companion's telling facial expressions? Oh YES. For difficult conversations that need to happen in public, neutral and well-energied territory, I can't recommend this place enough. Also, the happy hour specials are good. read more

I attended a dual birthday celebration here and was well pleased with the quality of service. The decor and ambiance are delightful to the senses and very comfortable. Our large group was able to unwind and enjoy ourselves easily. Our arrangement was for $30pp for passed appetizers and bottles of wine. Apps were quite good, the wine not so much. I would return but be more discerning with the house delgated wine choice. read more

Pistachio Panna Cotta Tucked away on a small side street, Jadis is a deep cavern of small plates, desserts and wine. The back is adorn with sofas. The front is filled with small tables. A bar counter connects the two. Jadis is made for quiet evenings with two to four close friends, chatting over bottles of wine. Feeling under the weather, I opted for the dessert. The pistachio panna cotta is creamy, in between a flan and a creme brulee. Fresh blueberries and strawberry jam provide additional sweetness. There's so much to like here. Dinner is an inevitability. read more

A group of friends and I were going to meet after work to get some dinner at the nearby Gentleman Farmer and I had some time to kill so when I saw Jadis' sign for their $5 glasses of wine for happy hour, I was sold. When you step down into Jadis, you walk into a place with a blend of history with a modern touch. Carved out of space in an old building on the Lower East Side, the exposed brick, arches and wood give an old world feel while their lounge like seating, dark colors and decor speak to a more modern, whimsical sensibility. For me, it was instantly comfortable. I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of white wine and their garlic sausage platter. I thought the sausage was going to be cooked, but it's actually a cold sausage sliced up and served with slices of bread and a small salad. Each component was tasty on its own. The sausage lived up to its name and the bread had a nice crisp to it. The salad had a sweet balsamic dressing on it. When combining all three ingredients, they formed a truly tasty dish! This was a perfect small plate for me to nosh on while waiting for friends. It went nicely with the wine and the atmosphere was totally chill and comfortable. Definitely worth a visit! read more

WARNING: $15 "service" fee plus 20% tip if you want to celebrate your birthday here and have your own birthday cake. I came here with a group of friends celebrating my friend's birthday. The wine happy hour was a pretty good deal, each of us ordered some food and they are pretty delicious as well. One star for the food & drink, one star for our server. She is actually really nice. My feeling for this place dropped down when we went to our server and asking her if she can get ready the birthday cake we brought with us. We were told there will be a $15 charge (add 20%, so that's $18) for them to "serve" the cake, aka take the cake out of the box, put the candles (we brought) on the cake, bring out the cake, serve the cake. At a place makes $10 sandwiches and salads! Wish I could make money that easy! Of course we said no in the beginning, then the lady told us we can take the cake back if we don't want to pay for it. But what else can I do? Our server explained that they charge for us having outside food here. IT WAS A FREAKING BIRTHDAY CAKE!! Does Jadis offer birthday cake there? NO! It's not like we are bringing in deli sandwich and trying to save money during the happy hour! Anyways that thing totally killed the mood for birthday celebration. So many rules at this place that I am actually wondering do they even welcome customers or not (I am totally fine with each individual rule, but altogether it just gets super annoying): - no tables for you unless you order food - $15 minimum on the card - 20% service fee on group over 6 - the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, $15 (plus 20% tip on this service fee) mandatory fee for "serving" your own birthday cake Yes the ambiance is cute and the food & wine is pretty good. But I'm not coming back for such a place that wants to take every penny out of my pocket. read more

Jadis is one of the few places in the LES that does not become overrun by mobs of people at night. I also appreciate that they allow you "save seats" for your late friends so we were able to hang out all night with friends coming in and out. The wine list is well composed, with plenty affordable options for people like me (us). The food is outstanding, it's not surprising or particularly inexpensive, but it is made to share and complements the wine perfectly. My friends repeatedly complained about the over abundance of lighting (it was right after work, we all looked a little haggard) and the "someone important" who was wine tasting in the back, but sitting right at the narrowest point in the room and blocking the bottleneck leading right into the lovely bathroom. Our amazing food was as follows: Yummy pitted Mixed Olives $3 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=fJwen7egtB3z0O45B00xvA Meat and Cheese Plate $19 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=8cETnfnIV8rswXuF68Tysg Goat cheese, sun-dried tomato, pesto sandwich $10 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=lWN6D1n8v9VMxP1MFQ5mGA Tarte aux Poireaux $10 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=shIw0R7FpHM-7_XMqENXYw Anna Baby Salad spinach with unique dry roasted raisin like beets, pear and goat cheese crumbles $10 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=LF25-S8HWc8PY3NG0XMbzg Smoked Beef Filet $9 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=gLDpIalHNv_8iheLjBdhOQ Mozzarella, fresh basil, tomato sandwich $9 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iQB37FNqD_G5_QMrp9ovnw?select=3epsnvjgS2R--nEn6YD0rg 3 more bottles of wine and our bill came to a modest $140!

The food here looks good but given it is 1AM in the morning and I just ate a ton of food at a birthday party, I went straight to a glass of wine to fight my food coma. I guess I am not a big wine snob but I came here after 1AM on a Saturday night and this place was pretty empty. I am not complaining though because the last thing I wanted at that point was squeeze into a bar without a table to sit down. Good service, super chill atmosphere but strangely only 1 beer on tap. Prices here are normal wine bar price. read more

Jadis is a beautiful and very calming wine bar. Especially after you start sobbing into your cell phone on a sunday night after drinking copious amounts of mimosa. The cheaper of their wine selections was a few dollars off for happy hour and it started to snow. So before getting onto the f train it became necessary to have said glass of $4 wine. On Mondays by the way, all wine bottles that are over $30 is 30% off. I'm pretty sure I had this and just pointed because I cannot pronounce it: "Clot del Pila" Domaine Boudau 2011 Côtes du Roussillon, France. My friend had the Pinot Grigio. Both delicious and sumptuous. I took in my surroundings eventually. They have a bookcase with a shockingly fantastic selection of books and what appears to look like a living room lounge in the back area. I was pretty jaded. Ha. Jaded. Jadis. Ok. Realizing we hadn't eaten since brunch that was like 5 hours ago we split a small plate of their mac and cheese tartelletes with black truffle oil. Their small plates are exceptionally small just as a fair warning as we were told by our bartender. But we didn't want anything big and still sprung for trying them. Four tiny pieces. The flavor of the truffle oil was magnificent but the macaroni or the cheesiness wasn't great. It was crunchy and dry and I just tasted truffle oil. The bacon wrapped scallops smelled like sex though. Someone had ordered those because the entire bar had the sinful aroma of bacon emitting everywhere. I'd definitely come back some day. It's a cute wine bar with great deals and intriguing small plates. read more

After visiting an art exhibition with some friends we felt like having a little drink. I would say...wine - french. Jadis was the closest around and guys It was great.

The mushrooms truffle risotto puffs is delish ;) Super friendly waiter that helped us with our wine. Please, guys, try it out whenever you got a chance. read more

In response to my previous review of this place, I received this message, which came from someone named Gerald, who I assume is associated with this establishment: "Please tell me how mulled wine can taste like ass. Or let me sniff your girlfriend's (or boyfriend) butt to know what you are referring to. You may consider taking your frustrations (sexual or else) on a different platform." If this is the level of professionalism you can expect from this place, stay away and go to one of the many superior restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

Jadis has been my old fav for a long time and I am glad that they survived a hard time, the pandemic. They have a cute bar menu for wine and I recommend you order a bottle instead of a glass if possible because it is just better in general. The servers there are not super professional but really attentive, so you won't feel mistreated at all. read more

Had a lovely sip & snack at this solid wine bar in the lower east side. It's tucked away on a street that is all but closed off to cars right now so it was fairly quiet sitting outside which was nice. If you order any single cheese or meat, you get a pretty decent spread with bread and an assortment of toppings / spreads. Of course, the wine selection is not to be left out of the discussion here. Chose two somewhat randomly, a red and a white, and really enjoyed them both. They were fun and unique and most importantly, affordable. In fact, everything felt affordable here, which was a relief for once. At least, I've had much worse for much more, which made me want to stay awhile longer at Jadis. read more
