    Lamb Pinchos

    Musette is the perfect day-to-night spot--by day, it's a cozy coffee shop where I can actually get work done, and by night, it transforms into a gorgeous wine bar with the best vibe. The wine flights are a must, they are a great way to try multiple wines. The staff really know their stuff and are always ready with great recommendations. The pinchos, burrata, pastries, coffee and wine selection are a hit. Musette always delivers.

    The espresso that I had here is hands-down one of the best espresso I've had in Manhattan. Very creamy nutty and smooth. I don't know who the barista was but she did an amazing job. The space was nice and quiet and very beautiful.

    Such a cute little place! I've been eyeing this place for a minute and finally was able to go. i took my friend there for her birthday and we both enjoyed it immensely. One piece of advice.....they open at 5:00 and I would suggest getting there by 5:30 because the place is small and it fills up quickly. I did make reservations for 5:30 and needed to change it to 7:00. I called several times with no answer and no voicemail so word to the wise. Other than that this spot is definitely worth checking out. We started with flights - I had the reds, my friend had the bubbly flights. We were starving and their menu doesn't have many options but everything we ordered we enjoyed. We started with a meat and cheese tray, it comes with bread with a mustard and a sweet sauce which we devoured. We followed that with their wings - they have two kinds - one honey and the other i think was cilantro (forgive me if I'm wrong) and they were both good. We then had an avocado, lox flatbread which was delicious. A couple more glasses of wine and the night was complete. This place is an entire vibe - I love it and will definitely be back!!

    Super cute coffee shop by day, wine bar by night. I really enjoyed my time here working on my laptop. I want to check out their happy hour at night!

    The ambiance was chill with soothing music playing in the background. It's a great spot to come for quiet or a work space. The avocado toast with bacon was delicious and the service was attentive but not overbearing. I'd definitely visit again!

    Just moved to New York from California and I must say we have our share of wine bars, but this place is incredible. From the service, energy, and exceptional staff. I do however recommend making a reservation because it gets busy and filled up quickly since it's a small place. We started off with the bubbly flight which I highly recommend, we also had the honey wings which were cooked perfectly and had the right amount of sweetness to them . We also got the Flatbread which had Honeynut Squash, Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions,& Bacon. This was so good and the flavors went so well together. Definitely can't wait to come back to have it again . This place is great for a date nite, girls dinner or just treating yourself to some great food & wine. Also shoutout to the servers and our waitress she was so knowledgeable about the wines and very welcoming. If your in the neighborhood definitely come by you'll fall in love with an amazing glass of wine !

    Musette is an outstanding wine bar! Excellent selection of wine and beer by the glass. They also serve food with a limited menu. I highly recommend.

    Great place with a huge selection of amazing wine. Love that they have a tasting menu! The ambiance was very nice as well. Great service from the 1 server that was there BUT she was on point!!! It's a block from me and can't believe I waited so long to visit. I'll certainly be back.

Located in East Harlem, the subway took me to 103rd Street. A steep hill fortified my appetite. Cafe D'Anvers is easy to spot with it's inviting red exterior. Laura was at the table. Jackie greeted us cheerfully. We came here for Moules Frites which we ordered and a glass of Sancerre to wash it down. Two large kettles were put down in front of us with plenty of mussels and a separate bowl of fries. Mayo and ketchup to dip the fries. I prefer mayo. We ate our way enjoying the meal. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with a sour cherry sauce and their signature chocolate mousse with strawberries and puffs of whipped cream. Both desserts satisfied immense. I recognized the mousse cups as I had bought them at Eataly. Jackie told us that they make the mousse and have an account with Eataly to sell it there. Laura and I enjoyed our lunch here. I also spied Jo Malone hand wash of English Pear and Freesia in the gender neutral restroom. Cafe D'Anvers is a cozy restaurant with both seating and a bar area. I am looking forward to another meal here.

A homeless did stumble in trying to convenience the staff to give him something for free, which they were able to get rid of the person politely after many pleas. I ordered their Spaghetti Bolognese ($20), which was alright. It felt like something I could have made at home and it would come out the same quality. Never-the-less, service was great, given that I was the only person they had to take care of.

    This restaurant is a bit tough to rate. I came here for a coffee. I ended up getting some breakfast…read moretoo. I got a Iced Latte decaf with regular milk. It was pretty good. To eat I got the egg sandwich with ham, cheese and it came with tomatoes and lettuce. There was one slice of what I think was American cheese and it was on a brioche. Looked like a hamburger bun and it was small. I thought the eggs would be scrambled by they were over easy or over hard or something as they were not runny and not scrambled. It comes with fries but , I opted out of fries or a side salad. The sandwich had no taste really and it was pretty oily. I was disappointed in it especially, because of the price of it. This restaurant was empty with one table being used when I came as I came around 10am so it was still early. But the decor in this restaurant is very pretty and elegant. They have a back area with more tables and chairs and a nice looking bar area. Will I come back and try something else for either lunch or dinner or to have a drink? well maybe. I mean the staff were nice though when I placed my food order and explained to them my food allergies there was a bit confusion, they thought I was allergic to only potatoes because I opted out of having french fries but that was not the case. She had to have one of the other guys come over to hear what my allergies were. They both were nice but felt a little rushed while telling them my allergies. I rate this 3.5-4stars. I wanted to rate it a bit higher because of the gorgeous interior.

    Major side notes: The prices online are a whole lot less than what's listed on the menu there so I…read morehave added a photo from outside. For instance, the pistachio crusted salmon is $28 online which is a good deal for the area and $38 there which is a bit much among other dishes. There are also missing things from the online menu such as the grilled octopus. Anyway, I was here recently at this pretty new restaurant with a small group of 5 others. The menu online is listed as Mediterranean and Italian but I found more stuff on here to be Italian and in general, there's a lot of seafood on the menu. I am quite aware how new this spot is because I was (rather unfortunately) at a prior cafe at the same exact location called Atelier which was Middle Eastern and French influenced which was absolutely terrible but luckily this place is much better. There is ample rooms between the different tables and the lighting is nice. The music, or rather muzak, are covers of songs which don't really fit here such as Despacito (I can't believe I heard this at a Yorkville place) but at least the volume was low. The service was a tad slow and didn't pay attention well enough but I presume some of this will improve as the place has been here longer and I'm not surprised how long the meal lasted because it's Yorkville/the UES. They gave us several types of bread to munch on with a couple pieces on each side not matching and there are bottles of olive oil. The best of the breads were the grissini/breadsticks and there was a piece of olive bread which was pretty tasty also but all of them were good. I went with a special of the day as my appetizer which was the Soft Polenta with mixed vegetables and tomato sauce for $24. This was pretty pricey but the portion size was probably big enough for two to share. The polenta texture was fine and warm while the vegetables (zucchini, carrot, eggplant, tomatoes, some other stuff) was much hotter on top which was a bit odd. I wish that there was more of said vegetables because this was the best part of it with the tomato sauce being quite nice. Another person had two appetizers as their meal and enjoyed the Fritto Misto as well as the Eggplant Napoleon. My main dish was the Pistachio Crusted Salmon which is listed online as $28 with citric fennel and butter. However, as said, the actual menu version is an extra $10 more and has a lemon-capers vin blanc sauce instead along with sweet potato puree and asparagus. I have no complaints about the protein as the salmon was good quality, they gave a pretty decent portion, and it was cooked very nicely with me personally having ordered it as rare and it coming out as such being fork tender and quite buttery. My issue instead of the fish was the pistachios as while the dish was listed as crusted, the pistachio flavor was almost muted being more of a topping than a crust which was unfortunate. The asparagus below were fine and the puree which took up the majority of the plate had a good texture and the flavor was fine. Overall, the dish was good but not almost $40 good. Another person had the Spaghetti Special with cherry tomatoes, calamari, and fra diavlo sauce for $42 (also available with shrimp instead for $36 on the main menu) which they enjoyed, one person had the Fettuccine Bolognese, and another person split the same salmon dish with someone else along with I believe the whole Mediterranean Branzino which they enjoyed. For dessert, another person ordered the chocolate cake at the end for us to share which which was a good portion but unfortunately was a bit dry with another person at the table saying that was probably a bit old. I was happy that it wasn't too sweet though I did find it dry with the crust at the end being the best part as it had a good texture. From the completely different price points and menu to the service woes to the minor issues with dishes, it's hard for me to give this spot a higher rating. The chef clearly knows how to cook everything perfectly but the little faults add up. Mid 3 lowered.

After going to some uptown gallerie,s, I thought I'd have it again with coffee while sitting inside to write. (You know, people often write or use a computer at a cafe.) It was chilly outside. I had just taken my boot offm and walking up the stairs would be contraindicated. Upstairs had just been closed. I approached the bar in the restaurant, separated by the cafe by a black curtain. I asked if I could sit at a small table. At least two others were empty. I was told I could sit at the bar, presumably with cafe things I said I'd buy. The bar was too small to write. I went outside to eat and write. It was chilly. The danish was DRY. I could easily have gone to any of thousands of NYC or Queens places, or gone home to make a cappuccino, have a snack, or cook even something simple to taste brilliant as my food does. I asked after some minutes to sit at the bar to write for a while. I observed, and told them that no one had sat at that small table. I know they need restaurant seats. I would have sat for about half an hour, an hour the most, and moved (after half an hour) if it had been the only table left and dinner customers were waiting. I had finished eating. The man, maybe the owner, said that it is not a SHELTER. He said they were different businesses. They had not told me that earlier. So build a wall between them! I will not return, or even buy a coffee again from there, or suggest it to anyone. You know how often restaurants close.
