    Happy hour 11 dollar cocktails
    Warren A.

    We came here for happy hour before our reservations next door. Glad we came because the drinks were excellent. It's a cozy little space which would be great for a date night. I will be back to try the food.

    Really really enjoyed this restaurant! My friend made a reservation for 6 people at 8pm on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was accommodating and flexible with us being late and it was a pretty cozy restaurant with a few tables but it was a lovely ambiance. We got champagne and the Bordeaux wine which my friends really liked. We ordered so many things on the menu and they were all amazing, key standouts were the mussels, kale ceasar and the chicken w gnocchi!

    Amazing service (Shariff and bartender were wonderful!). Cute and charming vibes all around. Food was mid. Escargot on the chewier end, not too flavorful. Bland mussels. Espresso martinis were generous and divine though. Would skip for the price.

    We had a great time celebrating a friend birthday here. Service is great and food is delicious! Love the flower decorations, warm coziness vibes here. They have many good choices in menu and love the special of the day too!

    In NYC it can sometimes be hard to find French food at a restaurant that isn't taking themselves too seriously. La petite joie is a great option for casual French food in a chill setting. The inside is dimly lit at night and sets a somewhat romantic tone without being over the top. There are a couple of tables for outside dining. I went in on a Monday night (just me) and snagged a table outside right away. I ordered the moules and cauliflower au gratin. The fries that came with the moules were very greasy (not in a positive or negative way), the kind that would cure a hangover. I was satisfied with all the food. My server was kind and checked on me throughout the meal to make sure I was doing alright. Overall a great casual French option.

    La Petit Joie is a little gem tucked away in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Overall, it was a great experience. We had a party of six and were seated about 20 minutes before our reservation, which was a nice surprise. It's a small restaurant, so I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than six. Now, on to the food. We ordered the Poulet Sandwich, Steak & Eggs, French Toast, Black Sea Bass, and the Pistache Crêpe. The Poulet Sandwich was tasty, but the Steak & Eggs really stood out. Price point is fairly decent, for a party of six the bill came out to a little over $200, which is great considering we also ordered drinks. Definitely a spot I'll be adding to my regular rotation. Go check them out!

    Avocado Tartine
    Fiona O.

    We got the avocado tartine and the buttermilk pancake, and both were solid! The buttermilk pancake is not on the menu - it was the special for the day. The server mentioned that the pancake is served similarly to the french toast though! Overall, service was good, and space was cute!

    This place was so excellent. It literally transports you to France.. it has music playing and flowers everywhere. The Cesar salad was delicious and the steak melted in my mouth. Best spot in Brooklyn.

    This review is for brunch. Overall, a solid spot that I would come back too, especially because I live around the area. I made a reservation day of for 2 people. Ambiance / Service: the restaurant is quite small so it's probably not good for a group larger than 6. Decor is pretty and dainty with lots of florals, wallpaper, and subway tiles. Perfect place for a girls brunch. Service was good. Food: I ordered the below - -Savory Crepe: I got it with fries instead of home fries. I enjoyed this, but thought it needed a little something more so I got a side of dijon and that was perfect. Liked that it came with both a salad & fries. -Parisian Sandwich: nothing crazy, but exactly what I wanted. Perfectly savory and well balanced with the cornichons & dijon.

    Great customer service, fast, friendly, and makes the best dirty chai. Had to come back for seconds.

    Went for Saturday brunch and enjoyed the cozy café on a rainy day I ordered a savory crêpe. It delicious! The home fries were perfectly crispy and the perfect bite to eat on the side. The decoration and ambience was really cute, there were flowers in the ceiling and the customer service was impeccable. I'll have to come back to try there, coffee and drinks next time. Ambiance: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5

    Came here on a sunday for brunch! The interior is so cute. The restaurant is small so I recommend going in smaller groups. The service was great and the staff was very kind. My friend and I ordered the brunch tower because it looked good. I think the sandwiches were my favorite and we also ordered the frites with Parmesan and Truffle oil. The fries were amazing. Overall, great experience. I definitely would come back to try other items on their menu!

    Poulet Sandwich
    Dipali G.

    This is a great brunch spot for French food. Ambience: the best part of this restaurant is how aesthetic it is. I loved the inside because it was decorated with flowers and they had ambietic music playing. They also have outdoor seating which is perfect for a nice summer day. Food: the poulet sandwich was not that great! I thought it was overall unfavorable. However it is huge and super filling and comes with fries which is great. The French toast was my favorite thing and I would be back just to order the french toast. The croque madame was very salty and super cheesy s not a fan. Service: good service! Price: very appropriately priced for the portion sizes

    One of the best restaurants in the Bococa neighborhood. Class is their signature. Excellent food,…read moreservice and consistently striving to please the customer. I live in Boerum Hill and frequent this fine restaurant. The complaint made by the classless, loud party of 8 on June 25th is utter BS. That same evening, I was there celebrating with my party a very special birthday and that other large group was the noisiest, unruly bunch, so badly behaved that several patrons had to move their table away from them and others complained of the deafening loud noise they made. One man in their group of 8 sounded like a dog barking. The classless bunch walked out without leaving a tip and taunting other diners that sat nearer the door. That bunch have no idea how to behave in a fine dining restaurant. I'll be most happy that they'll never go back. Then we can eat a meal in peace.

    Very charming and cozy spot in Brooklyn! The service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. Had a…read morerather decent Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley. But if you don't drink, my partner had a fruity peach and mango puree mocktail that hit the spot in the summer weather. The tuna tartare is fresh with a garnish that complements the freshness well without being too overpowering. The main dishes: duck confit and steak frites were incredibly moist and flavorful. My partner and I were impressed with the flavor in the duck confit's mushrooms! Very savory. Fries are exactly how you want fries to be. The desserts felt a little lackluster in taste--the chocolate souffle and the San Sebastian cheesecake--but I will give props to the dollops of flavor with the cheesecake and that they are made in house. Had a great meal here! It was calm and not uptight, a great date spot when you don't want to stress out but enjoy a great meal.

It's a nice French restaurant with a great atmosphere and both indoor and outdoor patio seating. The service was good throughout the evening, and they have a great selection of cocktails and drinks. I ordered the bavette steak, which was good, but honestly nothing extraordinary for me. It was French food, well prepared and enjoyable, but I wasn't blown away. My date, on the other hand, had the chicken dish with a salad, along with several cocktails, and RAVED about everything all night! Clearly, his taste buds were having a much better party than mine. Lol Overall, good service, nice atmosphere, good cocktails, and an enjoyable date night. While the food didn't necessarily wow me, it certainly wowed my date, so maybe I just need to go back and order what he had next time!
