    Hamad had it all figured out!!

    Je recommande souvent votre restaurant à des amis. J'ai hâte de peut-être arriver à Pâques !!

    Hibiscus cocktail

    Food was pretty good. I liked the mussels and escargot the best. The chocolate lava cake wasn't that good. There was no texture to it, just felt like mush and there was also no melt in the middle. Hibiscus drink was good. Service was a bit on the slower side. They messed up my matcha drink but changed it immediately after I told them. Ambiance was great, love the decor. Very nicely decorated with lights.

    Recette is a gem In Williamsburg. We came here on a whim for lunch and Osmond took care of everything which made us feel so special. From their signature cocktails to the menu, everything was simply top-notch, and I cannot for the life of me have anything but praise for the establishment and the staff. I highly recommend this little corner spot and you should procrastinate too long. Super laid back yet beautiful setting.

    Food was delicious, everyone I was with enjoyed what we ordered. The inside of the restaurant is so cute and they also have a covered and uncovered outside area. The service was a fantastic. I ended leaving my phone accidentally and had to pick it up later. They had it waiting for me and even charged it. I think the only reason for not being 5 stars was that it felt a bit pricey for what it is (though like I said delicious!)

    Burrata was very tasty,  nice fresh made pesto,  made while we arrived... Nicely done...

    Wow I'm impressed. This is the best meal we've had in NYC. The peppersteak was so good. The sauce was perfect with Madagascar green peppercorns in the sauce, which most places skip. Nicely cooked and meat was good quality. The onion soup was good too. Soup was tasty, only comment is cheese could be more flavourful, but all still good. Burrata was well done too, fresh pesto was made while we here. Crispy bread... Nice. The berry mocktail was also delicious. Seriously I would eat here often if I lived near here... And the service was outstanding and vibe lovely....

    This place is great. Excellent food and ambiance, and great drinks as well. Would definitely consider returning and trying more.

    Have been here twice and both times were excellent! We got a few bites that were really high quality, also sampled a few different wines just asking to try before ordering which was really nice and servers were super helpful in guiding us on what to order. The man who dropped plates/cleared them was also really really nice, asked if we wanted salt and pepper then did the serving of it, was just smiling and such a pleasant and lovely energy. It's indoor outdoor seating too which is really nice for any weather. Would def check this place out and I'll be back again!

    It was a Monday night, so quick to be seated. Pretty busy inside, but nothing crazy. But I think there was only one server/bartender and one helper/food runner. There's the rub. Started with the French onion soup, which was decadent, sumptuous, hot, savory, cheesy. Loved it. Made a mess all down my sweater while trying to slurp every last bite. Other starters: steak tartare, escargot, wild mushroom flatbread, octopus, burrata, kale and fennel salad, Cesar salad, mussels, and more. There is also a selection of cheese and charcuterie. For my main, I had the server's recommendation of steak frites. The frites were hot and crispy. The steak was tender and well charred, but the flavor was mediocre. I wish I had gone with the braised short rib cavatelli or the bright primavera pasta (spaghetti, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, olive oil, garlic). Other mains include mixed mushroom truffle gnocchi, which also looked great, as well as roasted chicken au jus, Branzino, ribeye, and crab cakes. For cocktails I tried the Miss O'Hara, made with passion fruit puree, tequila, mescal, lime juice, and Himalayan salt. Probably one of my favorites. Very flavorful and refreshing. The rising sun, made with vodka, triple sec, white cranberry, lavender, and a hibiscus infused ice ball wasn't bad, but was one of two things: lacking flavor and excitement, or was a minimalist drink made for those looking more for a spirit forward drink with fewer bells and whistles. The three shades of green, made with cucumber, gin, chartreuse, and lemon juice, was a light palate cleanser to close out the night. The meal was fine. But the restaurant needs more staffing. Nothing against the server/bartender and the other staffer helping--they were trying their best. But management, take note. I would come back and try the food and drink again, but the service was so slow, I would hesitate to return. And again, I visited on a Monday night.

    Miss O'Hara and Jardin
    Charlin P.

    Walking into Recette felt like being transported to France. The ambiance, the service, and attention to detail in the decor made the entire dining experience feel special and intimate. We kicked things off with the Miss O'Hara and Jardin cocktails. Both were delicious, but the Jardin really stood out with its subtle kick. Honestly, all of the appetizers were amazing. It was my first time trying Steak Tartare and Burgundy Escargots--both unique, flavorful, and prepared with care. But the Wild Mushroom Flatbread stole the show for me--rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, I had the Braised Short Rib Cavatelli--10/10. Comforting, bold, and melt in your mouth good. As much as I wanted to try dessert, I'm on a caloric deficit --but trust, I'll be back. Recette has officially become one of my favorite restaurants

    Primavera Pasta and braised short rib cavatelli
    Jamie L.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this charming little restaurant and decided to give it a try. We started with the steak tartare and charred octopus--both incredibly fresh and beautifully plated. For our entrees, we went with the Primavera Pasta, which was light and a solid healthy option, but the real star of the meal was the braised short rib cavatelli--rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Easily the best dish of the night!

    Super cute brunch place in Brooklyn! I love, love, loved the vibe sitting in the outdoor patio. The flowers on each table were super pretty-- reminded me of a nice little restaurant in Europe! Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the lobster Benedict, which I really liked. It was the perfect balance of rich and tangy. My friend ordered the Nutella French toast, which was good, but a bit too heavy and sweet for my liking. Honestly, I thought it would be great if there was a regular French toast option on the menu!

    Oui Mademoiselle
    Tori G.

    Had a lovely Friday night dinner here at this cute little French restaurant. The service was great - very attentive waitress and the drinks/food all came out pretty quickly. The interior of the restaurant is small and it was very busy with every seat was taken. The bar was pretty and very well stocked. Our cocktails were great - we had the Jardin, Oui Mademoiselle, and espresso martini's. The menu itself feels a bit limited, but the steak frites with the peppercorn sauce was very good. My husband had the ribeye accompanied by broccolini, roasted garlic, and chimmichuri sauce. Overall, this place was good, but I feel like the prices were a bit steep all things considered.

    Steak Frites
    Rachel C.

    Food was enjoyable but lacked authenticity, having lived in Paris for 7 years. Service was solid and ambiance was nice. I really enjoyed the kale salad and the steak frites, though.

    Wow!! French gem owned by the former Buttermilk channel folks. A lovely garden in back and food…read moreworth traveling for. I've eaten here many times, shocked I haven't penned a review.Firstly this restaurant week I'm doing $30 lunches with few exceptions. I've come twice for RW. It's that fab! I've had both the vichyssoise& Fremchie salad both fantastic. The mussels Normande are beyond- & the sauce is full of leeks & butter and hers& flavor. I think this is the best mussel dish I ever had. Their busy lunch for good reason.

    My girlfriend had been craving moules frites. Naturally you need a French restaurant to scratch…read morethat itch. Somehow French Louie had been sitting under my nose walking distance from my apartment all this time. We made a reservation for 8pm and after a few minutes we were led to our seats. The restaurant was buzzing, with tables fairly tight, though not overly so. Things were cozy, but not too old fashioned. First, drinks. I've been on a mezcal kick of late, and chose a mezcal based cocktail (the name of which escapes me), which was quite tasty if maybe a bit sweet. My girlfriend ordered an orange wine, and the waitress was delighted to tell us all about it (she would prove quite knowledgeable about wine when I ordered a glass later, and friendly to boot). As an appetizer went with the prawns, also quite tasty, it a bit messy. We got some bread to accompany and soak up some of the sauce, great idea in my opinion. If I was a woman who had my nails done I might hesitate to order the prawns, but if you can make your man peel them for you, you'll be delighted. After a bit of time to digest (the restaurant was quite busy, but they certainly didn't rush to get to get our food out and turn the table), out came the entrees. The moules frites were as big as abu other order you've ever had, and the broth quite tasty. The fries were not particularly remarkable but certainly weren't bad. I ordered the bavette steak frites. The steak itself was done well (medium rare, to be clear), as were the fries. The salad, often an afterthought, was a wonderful supporting actor to the meal, with excellent acidity and freshness as a counterpoint to the steak and potatoes. I would be remiss not to comment on the house steak sauce; it was so good I ended up pouring it all over my fries (almost reminiscent of poutine, appropriately). It was tangy and bright and complemented the steak well. I'd buy it if I could. We'll be back. French Louie is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant, I only wish I had found it sooner.
