Sonali K.

Thanks to my friend, who lives across from Quality Bistro and is a regular, I've been lucky enough to experience this place multiple times--from lunch and brunch to even Thanksgiving dinner. The service is consistently excellent. It's one of those restaurants where you feel very well taken care of from start to finish, and the space itself has a lively, polished energy that makes every visit feel like an occasion. The food, for me, is a bit more mixed. There are a few standout touches I really enjoy, especially the butter service and the bagel service, which always feel fun and well done. The French onion soup was memorable the first time I had it, though I've since had an even better version elsewhere that raised the bar for me. Some dishes land better than others. The Caesar salad is fine but not particularly memorable, the pasta dishes are generally okay, and I didn't love the artichoke dish, which felt a bit tough and underwhelming. The mac and cheese also didn't quite hit for me and felt a bit heavy without much payoff. That said, I can absolutely see the appeal of this restaurant--especially the experience, the atmosphere, and the service. My friend particularly loves the fries, which seem to be a consistent favorite. For me, it's a place I enjoy when I'm invited and treated, especially for those little signature touches like the butter service. It feels very indulgent and fun, even if not every dish is a standout.

Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner at quality bistro. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a couples birthday dinner date night or just girlfriends hanging out upon entry. The hostess was very approachable. I was seated right away, even though my party wasn't fully complete. They still allow me to sit, which I really appreciate restaurants that do that. Now let's talk about food. I got the butter platter, which was a great experience. The bread was very good, it was so nice and whipped and soft very flavorful. The branzino was on point 10/10. The spicy Caesar salad 10/10. Grab a date and head over to Quality Bistro!

Decent French restaurant in midtown Manhattan, close to Central Park. We had our Friday night dinner here. I tried their popular spicy bird cocktail which looks is very attractive but the taste is not that much. French onion is extremely delicious. I would recommend that. We also ordered artichoke hearts which are kind of tough although the dipping sauce is amazing. Dover sole is a tad dry but still tasty and we loved mushrooms. Between the appetizer and entree, we felt that we got rushed by the waitress. She immediately apologized. A few minutes later, the Manager came and asked if everything is fine. Later they offered complimentary dessert or drinks, we only ordered one more drinks. The interior is very nice and well decorated.

Spicy Caesar

Came here for Mother's Day as we wanted a nicer restaurant. Bonus that they weren't doing a prix fixe mark up, although that might be because their normal prices are quite high. The steak frites, Brussels sprouts, and Moroccan fried chicken, and Mac and cheese were fantastic. I saw people raving about the spicy Caesar but personally didn't get it--I thought it was fine. I thought the escargot were a bit bland. Le grand croissant is an amazingly decadent giant croissant filled with Nutella and accompanied with jam, pistachio, honey sides etc. it was great, but seemed like it should've been more a dessert option rather than an appetizer as it was extremely sweet. We booked this out for Mother's Day maybe two weeks in advance and there were decent times in the early afternoon, but I checked closer to the day and it was all booked out.

Quality Bistro slaps on all fronts -- delicious branzino, addictive fries, and a dessert selection worth saving room for (the raspberry sorbet was the highlight for me but the green apple tart was delicious as well!). The mocktail arrived beautifully presented in a peacock drinkware, the staff was excellent, and the overall vibe was great. The one caveat: it's loud, so don't expect an intimate conversation.

Service and interior of the quality bistro are great the server was knowledgeable about the menu, had recommendations and was spot on. The food came out super quickly and was very flavorful.

Bread and butter service
Donesha T.

This is definitely a busy restaurant during the lunch hour. Every seat was full. Exceptional service. The wait staff are all polite and helpful. Our server was very accommodating and made great recommendations. There was a bit of a hiccup with my meal. Plastic (I think) was left in my salad so it was sent back. Prior to noticing, I did taste the salmon which was well seasoned. Bread service is a must. Don't skip it

This place was so cutie and yum! We went for drinks and the bread & butter service and everything was so cute from the service to the display to our drinks. The rest of the menu looked great too, just didn't want to eat too much since we had dinner soon. Would def recommend.

Espresso Creme Brulee
Jacky C.

Came here for a company holiday dinner and overall the food was pretty decent. We were constraint to a prix fixe menu that was chosen ahead of time due to our large party, so the options were unfortunately slim for us. But can't really complain since it's on the company. After we all placed our orders, the server then came over with a cart for the Butter Service Garni. Definitely never had butter service like this before and it was probably the freshest butter I'll ever have in my life. For sides, the Jumbo Asparagus and Bistro Frites were ordered. Asparagus was essentially our greens dish, which was decent. The fries were very addicting. For appetizer, I started off with their French Onion Soup, which was delicious. I felt like I could have been satisfied with just this alone. For entree, I ordered the Pork Porterhouse, which had a roasted pineapple sauce on it for enhanced flavor. I found the pork to be dry, so the sauce was necessary. For dessert, I ordered the Espresso Creme Brulee, which was also great. They serve it in a cup as if you ordered an espresso shot after your meal, but in a dessert form. I also got to try the Green Apple Tart Tatin Sundae, which I have to say I enjoyed a lot more, especially if you'e able to get a spoon with both the french vanilla ice cream and the green apple sorbet. Overall a pretty good experience. Some of the courses had a wow factor while other did not meet expectation. Would not mind coming back again if the opportunity presented itself. Hopefully I can order from the full menu then.

Average bistro. Came here with friends to get their famous butter service. It was good, but the staff kept trying to take away the encoutrements. They ended up taking away a full plate of ham when we weren't paying attention. Steaks were good but nothing life changing. Our biggest complaint is that we ordered a bottle of wine. Instead of keeping it by our table, they took it away. At one point our wine tasted different from our original glass. We had to ask if it was the correct wine and when they came back they told us yes and that the bottle was finished. It didn't seem right. I understand space is an issue here since they jam pack any available space with a table. But there was enough room on our table to keep the wine. Our favorite part of the meal was dessert. Don't sleep on their sorbet. It was really refreshing.

French onion soup, spicy Caesar salad, French fries
Janelle T.

The food is soooo good. Would recommend coming here in a heart beat and I for sure would visit again. Quality bistro has a French style menu. The ambience and decor is very inviting. The food is also incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Caesar salad was perfect. The French onion soup was cooked spectacularly as the cheese to bread to onion ratio was perfect. The broth of the soup was very flavorful as well

Yummy dessert
Grace H.

Celebrated new year eve here this year. It was my 2nd time here. Extremely cute decor of each room, except the room closed to the back they took us initially. Crowds were elegant and cute, but the back room was full of tourists/ loud families( maybe because it was a new year eve in midtown) Our server was able to get us to other room, because it was Too cold and loud. - Raw dishes were OK, not amazing. But their scallops and branzino were so good! Must order - Dessert trios fromagos was always the best ! Instagrammable - Not a fan of their cocktails. - Free champagnes for count down. Good for date night and celebration, good service but not your fine dinning service.

Birthday Card
Juliemar R.

We had THE BEST time here! Highly recommend! We had arrived a little on the earlier side for our reservation and the table wasn't ready yet so we went to the bar and a had a few drinks. They were very refreshing. There is a lot to look at with all the color and decorations and I really loved it. Now, unfortunately our our table continued to not be ready however, they apologized profusely and comped us some champagne! I understand when there is a table that is taking their time and it's not reeeeally their fault as they do not want to be rude. It was my birthday so when we finally were lead to our table, they gave me a card which I thought was such a nice touch. We were treated VERY well and the food, drinks and dessert were absolutely delicious. The service was incredible. The butter service was AWESOME! Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place because we really just had the best time and dining experience.

For men, would very nice denim jeans with a very nice top be acceptable here?

100% yes.

Do they offer alcohol- free beverages? Mocktails?

I think so

Can you do only butter service with no entrees?

Yes!

Are there menu variations available for kids? I see there is a chicken paillard...do they allow modifications for children?

This is NOT a restaurant that I would bring kids to - not at all. Look for a more kid-friendly restaurant further west towards 9th Avenue because this is not the place.

Can we dress casual?

Smart casual for sure. I wouldn't do errand-running casual.

Are you able to make vegan food options?

There's a MaiTake mushroom & truffled leeks entree available for vegans!

Can I bring my own bottle of wine w a corkage fee? How much is the corkage fee if allowed?

$50 per 750nl bottle!

Came in here with high expectations and they were met! I highly encourage a reservation to be made,…read moreas they had a waitlist for walk-ins and the restaurant seemed super busy. Once we were sat, they gave us an overview of the menu, the highlights, and specials that weren't on the menu including Tomahawk steak, rock shrimp appetizer, side of corn and more. We opted for the 1/2 dozen oysters, Porterhouse for 2, and a side of spinach and roasted corn. Everything was exceptional and a good portion for 2 people. For dessert, we ordered their special, Tiramisu, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, they gave us a lava cake on the house which made our night even more special.

The place is beautiful, I love the ambiance and I love being able to see the cuts of meat from the window outside.

The food was good and other than that mistake, I have nothing to say about it, delicious drinks, too. One of the best dirty martinis found in the city. HOWEVER. We sat down at 2:15, and got our food at 3:20. It took a long time both to order and to receive our dishes. I understand being busy but we left the restaurant at 4:35

I usually get the wonton soup with the jiaozi dumplings, and it's one of my favorite things on the menu. I haven't really seen that combination anywhere else, and I think it's really unique and really good. They also have a great happy hour. I'm not the biggest fan of the wings, but the shrimp and lobster roll is definitely worth trying. The service has always been good when I've visited, and the atmosphere is always a vibe. It's close to the Theater District, so it's a great spot to grab dinner before or after a show. There's usually a nice crowd, and you might even bump into an actor or celebrity. Overall, it's a place I keep coming back to because the food is consistently good, the service has been solid, and the overall experience is always enjoyable.

A Birthday Dinner That Felt Like a Scene From a New York Movie…read more We chose Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse for my birthday dinner because we wanted something special--not just a good meal, but a real New York moment. And the moment we walked in, I thought, yes... this is exactly where a birthday should happen. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. The high ceilings, dramatic staircase, rich wood, elegant details, and huge dining room made everything feel grand and glamorous. It had the classic energy of an American steakhouse, but with a modern and luxurious New York style. Then I noticed the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. Honestly, the glass was so perfectly clean that I almost forgot there was glass there at all. For a second, it felt like the entire city was simply open in front of us. I was strangely impressed by this because giant windows in a busy city are not always this spotless. But here, they were crystal clear, and the New York view became part of our dinner. We sat looking out at the city, ordered wine, and began my birthday celebration. Then, as if someone had carefully planned the scene, a sudden rain shower started outside. Perfect timing. There we were, sitting inside this beautiful restaurant, watching the rain fall over New York through the giant windows, drinking delicious wine, eating incredible food, and celebrating my birthday with my family. It felt less like dinner and more like a scene from a movie. The wine was wonderful, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The oysters were fresh and clean-tasting. The burrata was creamy, soft, and beautiful with the tomatoes. The warm bread arrived shiny with butter and was dangerously good--the kind of bread that makes you say, "I'm only having one," and then suddenly the basket is empty. The fish entrée was beautifully prepared, and the steak was exactly what I hoped for. It had a deeply seared, flavorful crust on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. This was not the kind of steak you quietly eat. This was the kind of steak that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a moment. That silence was the review. Everything tasted carefully prepared, and the ingredients felt fresh and high quality. There was not one disappointing dish on the table. At the end of dinner, they brought out a lovely birthday dessert with strawberries, pink cream, a candle, and a "Happy Birthday" chocolate decoration. It was sweet, pretty, and the perfect ending to the evening. The beautiful interior, the sparkling wine, the city view, the sudden rain, the excellent food, and my family celebrating together made the entire night unforgettable. I went there expecting a nice birthday dinner. Instead, I received a full New York birthday movie scene--with steak. I would absolutely return the next time I visit New York. Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse is a wonderful choice for a birthday, anniversary, romantic dinner, or any occasion when an ordinary meal simply is not enough.

I sat at the bar, since it was only me, but tho the bar wasn't busy and service was friendly, it was very slow. The food was wonderful! I'm glad I made the choices I did, tho of course nothing I wanted was included in the happy hour specials. The fried calamari was some of the best I've had tho it was observed with a little bit of cocktail sauce and a huge thing of tartar sauce. I'm sure I could have gotten more cocktail sauce, since I don't like tartar sauce, but it wasn't necessary. The calamari was so good. The lobster bisque was delicious and the picture can't show you that it was full of lobster. There was a LOT more lobster than a lobster bisque normally contains and the price was about normal for a lobster bisque with one tiny piece of lobster. The iced tea was a bit out of control. If I'm going to be charged $5 per glass of iced tea, that glass should be larger than the ones they use AND not 90% ice. That much for a glass of ice with a splash of iced tea is extreme. I'd still return, since the food was wonderful and hopefully I just got unlucky with the service.
