Stopped in on a Monday night to try it out based on the positive re owes and menu. Did not disappoint. Service was great and they were very nice and appreciative. French onion soup, steak frites, and crème biles were awesome. Very flavorful. We also had the chocolate soufflé which my wife loved. We come to nyc a couple weeks a year and this one is now definitely in the rotation of great meals to look forward to. Also loved the ambiance and low key atmosphere. read more

Finally. I've been on the search. City after city. 6 different French restaurants in Chicago. Not to mention Washington DC and other cities. But I finally found authentic steak tartare. Hand cut. Not run through a blender. The closest to the nest that I've had in Paris. Ambiance: 10/10 Steak tartare: 9/10 Pomme fritte: 7/10 Service: 10/10 Don't get me wrong these fries were good. Better than all the others. Not quite good as in Paris. It was a joy to eat here. And I feel like I've finally found a place that compares to Paris. The best of Chicago produced nothing to compare to Paris. read more

Was visiting a friend who lives in the area and it was highly recommended. Decided to give it a try and oh martini haha ! A very good French martini , our waitress Diana was amazing , friendly and very helpful . The salmon was absolutely divine and we also had a charcuterie board and dessert . I just fell it was a bit too dark in there so maybe some more lights would make it for a better experience , specially while browsing the menu . All in all was a good experience , I would definitely recommend :) read more

While in the theater district I decided to satisfy my craving for steak and fries. I looked up a place nearby and this one came up. It was a 12 minute walk from my original location. I played myself by getting the pre frixe menu. I did not care for the French onion soup at all. It has a sour taste to it..not savory. I asked for my steak medium well. It came exactly to mh liking. I had not had read meat in a while and I might have been low on iron. It was tasty. I ordered the creme brulee for desert which was yummy. I sat at the bar. I will definitely asked to be seated next time because the bartender hovered over me a lot. I didn't need much service. The steak was good next time I will have the salmon. I want to try other places that specialize in this fare. read more

It was pretty inside and the ambiance was good. The French onion soup and escargot were great! I had never had escargot prepared that way. Unfortunately my steak was so tough that I couldn't eat it. I ate 3 bites total and gave up. The manager offered to remake it but I didn't have time to wait. He offered me a dessert or coffee but the point of going there was for the steak. It was disappointing. My server took my order but I didn't really see him again. read more

French Bistro in Midtown West, minutes from Penn Station or Port Authority so the location is quite convenient. I made a reservation to be safe, as many restaurants now ask if you did so. This place is quite packed every night so it was the way to go. I came here for dinner post showtime and my son and I over ordered but happily enjoyed everything. I think our eyes are way bigger than our stomachs. Starters: - French onion soup, au gratin, was perfect. Great onion profile and lots of it. Not overly salty so that was good. - Beef tartare, classic French bistro staple, must order this. The portion was quite generous and it was delicious. We couldn't stop eating it. The petite toasts were a nice accompaniment as well as the raddiccio salad - cheese board, IYKYK, I never met a cheese I didn't like. This board was matched with nice pairings. Think grapes, fig jam, and marcona almonds. The cheese were a classic French variety - bleu, comte and brie. For our entrees, my son opted for a sandwich and I got the steak. His croque Madame was really delicious. The bread, the ham, the baked cheese and the fried egg was so savory. Yummy. My steak was a sizeable portion but I purposely ordered the bigger ounces since I know we'd share. Fries are nice and skinny, perfectly seasoned. Our waiter was attentive and I asked for the table next to us given all the food I know we were getting. He was not sure if he could accommodate but I insisted he check with management. They came over and put it together for me. I appreciated that given a table for two, for how much we ordered, it'd never fit. Totally would return. If you like French food, this is a solid spot to try. read more

Recently visited steak frites in NY and was immediately struck by the authentic French vibe, lead by the owner who clearly stays true to traditional French roots. From the warm welcome at the door to the final sip of dessert wine, it was a memorable dining experience. The Highlights: * Starters: We kicked things off with the Bread & Butter--the butter was incredibly smooth and rich. The French Onion Soup was exactly how it should be: traditional, not overly sweet, and deeply savory (absolutely delicious!). The Pâté was another standout; it's been a while since I've had pâté this good, and spreading it over the crusty bread was pure bliss. * Mussels: Often a hit-or-miss at many places but here every single mussel was fresh and high-quality. The sauce was so flavorful I wanted to dip everything in it. * The Main (Steak Frites): The steak was lean and packed with intense beefy flavor "great umami' I preferred cutting it into smaller bites to fully savor the texture and the classic French preparation. * Wine List: I was pleasantly surprised by the pricing. We enjoyed a bottle of Château Moya, which paired beautifully with the meal. It's rare to find such a well-priced, quality wine list in the city. * The Sweet Finish: Don't skip dessert! The Crème Brûlée is easily in my top 3 of all time. We also had the Chocolate Cake, which was rich and intense without being cloyingly sweet--exactly my preference. To top it off, our server recommended a dessert wine that wasn't too sugary, providing a perfectly balanced end to the night. Verdict: If you appreciate a restaurant that stays true to its heritage without any gimmicks, this is the place. Excellent service, a fantastic wine selection, and top-tier French comfort food. read more

Thanks yelpers! What a lovely experience. Started with their flavorful take on a cosmopolitan. Did the fixed price menu: lamb and beef sausages, steak frites, and chocolate torte. The absolute star of the evening was the steak. Unreal. Charming french cafe vibe. Perfect staff. Great evening before the theater. read more

Honestly, I have nothing bad I can say about Steak Frites Bistro. We came in as a party of 10 on a Thursday afternoon for our team's holiday lunch. We were able to make a reservation over the phone about a month prior to the date and everything worked out great. We had a long table for our party and all of us did the lunch prix fixe, which was a steal at $40 for a starter, entree, and dessert. There is a $8 upcharge if you want the steak frites. To start, I had the Pate de Campagne, which was honestly a huge portion and I loved that it came with a side of salad. For my main, I had the Steak Frites, of course. It came out perfectly cooked and it was such a generous portion size, I didn't finish my fries. For dessert, I had the Pot de Creme du Chocolate which was so chocolately and decadent. Perfection. Service was very attentive and the drinks were fantastic. Despite the large party that we were, we never felt rushed or pushed to leave. If you're looking for a spot for a work lunch, this is the place to go. read more

There are the big known steak houses all over NYC, and ever so often you run into this small neighborhood style restaurant that happens to delight. Steak Frites is just that kind of place. Walking in reminded me of the places I used to visit in Paris - away from the regular tourist traps, on a side alley, that had the nicest staff and amazing food. This is a small place - with a very intimate atmosphere. It was just me that night, so I grabbed the bar seat for my meal. The maître d' was pretty good and made me feel comfortable in the place immediately. Older gentleman, who seemed to be of French decent. The bartender knew what he was doing and fixed me a good boulevardier. They also had 1664 on tap - so I had to have it. Ordered the signature steak and frite dish done medium rare - a dry aged NY strip - and oh boy did they deliver. Seasoned perfectly with almost a nice crust. The center was still bloody and warm. The garlic herb butter on top just made the entire thing taste so much better. It's been a few days and I am still thinking about it - with my mouth watering. This is being added to the highlights recommend list for NYC. I will be back !!! read more

They had an awesome prefixe that was a pretty good deal. For the app I chose the French Onion Soup which was massive and I couldnt finish it all because I knew those Steak Frites were coming. Sooooo good the seasoning on this steak was flames. Fries extra thin too and when you cut the steak and the juice and spices flooded the fries, that was too damn good. Creme Brulee for dessert which was really nice and light. read more

Fantastic value for the prix fixe lunch menu where you get a 3-course meal for $40 (though there are some up charges for the steak frites, though reasonable at $8 more). We sat by the bar and chatted with our bartender/server Lacy. She made some kick-@$$ cocktails, and I was blown away by the Raspberry Beret!!!! The steak came out perfectly executed at medium rare. And my partner's smoked salmon crepes were equally delicious. Oh and the Onion Soup, it was so filling that I could barely dig into my steak after finishing the soup. Highly recommended if you are looking for a great weekend brunch spot! read more

My friends and I came here for lunch after attending the NYC Marathon race expo over at the nearby Jacob Javits Convention Center. From the outside, it looked to be a fairly small restaurant. However, once inside, it was actually quite spacious. The decor was artsy. After looking over their menu, I went with their prix fixe lunch. Here were my choices: Hors d'oeuvre: Pâté de campagne Plat principaux: Steak frites (the steak option was $8 extra) Dessert: Chocolat ganache tarte Our server accidentally entered the salade verte instead of the pâté for me, but that was quickly rectified. This was a higher end French restaurant and the food presentation was great. Everything from the food to the service was fantastic. read more

Break For Eats @ Steak Frites If you're in Midtown and craving a solid steak and frites experience, this place hits the mark. The vibe is chill yet polished, with cool decor that sets the tone for an easygoing but elevated meal. The drink menu is lovely--lots of tempting options to pair with your steak--and the staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Two of us went for the pre-fixe steak and frites menu. My steak came out perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. My friend's was slightly overdone compared to his request, but still tasty. We all agreed that the frites were spot on--crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. Between the relaxing ambiance, good drinks, and delicious food, I'd definitely consider coming back next time I'm in the city and in the mood for steak. read more

Really excellent food, cozy interior, great service. We had reservations at 5:45, and the restaurant was about 1/2 full at that time - we were seated quickly in the dining room. We had shrimp cocktail, a burger, roast chicken, the porterhouse dinner for 2. All were delicious. The chicken came with the creamiest buttery mashed potatoes, while the burger and steak came with crispy, skinny fries. The porterhouse also came with a well-dressed petite salad to share. We also had a chocolate ganache for dessert - so good! The prix fixe menu also looked amazing and a good value. Our water glasses were never empty, and the cocktails were tasty, too. Can't wait to come back the next time we're in NYC. read more

Steak frites is France's most classic meat-and-potatoes meal, a bistro staple, and the ultimate comfort food. The idea behind the dish is to dip the fries into the steak juices on the plate. Both Belgium and France claim a stake in the founding of this dish. While Belgium may have created it, it didn't become popularized until French chefs perfected it. Located on 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, my partner and I were looking forward to dining at Steak Frites Bistro before our show. A reservation was easily made via Resy. Upon arrival as first-timers, we were transported to a cozy bistro in Paris. Greeted by the host, Pierre, a table was ready for us by the window inside their beautifully designed main dining room with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home with an authentic French vibe. They have an additional dining room called the Peacock Room that's charming, quaint, and quieter for private events. The menu changes seasonally and comprises all the authentic French bistro classics. We decided on the Lunch Pre-Fixe. As an appetizer, we decided on the Salade Verte and Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée. For our main, we opted for the Steak Frites. For dessert, we got the Crème Brûlée and Chocolat Ganache Tarte. All were well prepared; flavors were incredible, tasty & simple in their execution. The service was exceptional: incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire meal. Our server was Agnes. This spot buzzes with theatergoers, locals, and food lovers drawn to the area's diverse dining scene, which we can recommend. read more

Cozy French bistro/bar. We were welcomed by a friendly French man who seated us early for our reservation. We sat in the room that has the bar. We liked it there , very casual. They have a great pre fix dinner and lunch menu and I highly recommended if you want to try a few items. The meal starts out with a very good bread basket with whipped butter. I had the French onion soup, hanger steak frites and the chocolate tart. My husband had the filet mignon from the main menu that had a delicious au povre sauce over it. The meat was cooked as we requested and the frites that came with our main course were crispy with just the right amount of salt. Our cocktails were good as well, we have one boulevardier and two vodka martinis. We felt the prices were reasonable, food portions were large and the service was polite and respectful. Our meal here was better than many of our meals in France last year. Great place and we would love to go back. read more

A lovely room, not the least bit noisy. A great French brasserie menu. Terrific bread with room temp butter. A prize fixe menu with perfect choices. The Onion Soup was spot on. The hanger steak beefy, juicy and flavorful, perfectly cooked. Fries were crisp and plentiful. The dessert was a chocolate tart that was also perfect--not too sweet, great crust and cream on top. A letter perfect meal at a reasonable price for the quality. My friend's boneless strip was also perfect and the chocolate soufflé was epic. I have NO criticism. None. Under rated by half. read more

On my last night in the city on a business trip and I wanted to treat myself to a nice meal. Steak Frites Bistro truly excelled in providing a beautiful meal during Restaurant Week. I had an amazingly delicious French Onion Soup, Steak Frites (petite filet mignon) that was tender and juicy, with a delicious peppercorn sauce, and then the meal was topped off with a Chocolate Ganache that was superb! All for only $60. Not inexpensive, but totally worth it. My only complaint was that the spoon provided for dessert was too large to eat it comfortably. A small dessert fork or spoon would have been perfect, but that's minor in the scope of things! It's not a quiet atmosphere, but it was packed and lively, and the service was excellent. Oh yes, and the pre-meal bread was also perfect! Highly recommend! read more

Dinner at Steak Frites Bistro was the kind of meal that makes you stop mid-bite and wonder why you ever wasted calories anywhere else. I ordered the steak and frites, the pâté de campagne, and finished with the chocolat ganache tarte, and honestly, every dish was a hit. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered, tender with a perfect sear, and paired with frites that were crisp enough to snap but soft inside. The pâté de campagne was rich, flavorful, and balanced beautifully with the accompaniments, making it one of those appetizers you immediately wish you'd ordered two of. Dessert sealed the deal. The chocolat ganache tarte was silky, decadent, and just sweet enough without being overwhelming. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe felt like a cozy French escape tucked into the real world. Highly recommend. I'll definitely be back. read more

This quaint and cozy French bistro was just around the corner from our hotel. I did not look at any reviews before going, I just went with my gut. And my gut was right. We did the 3 course pre fixe dinner - had the onion soup, hanger steak and cream brûlée. Amazing! Food and service were superb. And let's not forget the Lavender 75 cocktail which elevated the experience. This dinner was my last during my NYC visit and it was a memorable one. read more

2025 NYC Restaurant Week review! My wife & I have theatre plans and its restaurant week in New York City. Now, I work in Brooklyn and I'm surrounded by the best Italian restaurants. For *NYC* restaurant week, my go to is a French restaurant. Did you know there are more French restaurants in New York City than in France? Also, Restaurant Week is not about eating a cheap meal. It's experiencing an upscale restaurant with the best they have to offer. Here are my rules: 1- Don't order a hamburger off the restaurant week menu. You can get a burger anywhere. Be adventurous! 2- If there is an upcharge on a certain item, don't cry about it. If you're concerned about money then find a spot with a Restaurant Week Lunch special. It would have been easier to pick a spot near the theatre but the menu and interior at Steak Frites Bistro looks like a fun spot. And it's very easy to get to! We walked from Penn Station, its only a few blocks away. After we finished with dinner, the theatre was another few blocks away. Easy peasy! We arrived early so we had a drink at the bar while waiting for our reservation. My wife ordered a well crafted cocktail: The LAVENDER 75 made with lavender infused citadelle gin, st-germain, lemon and topped with sparkling wine. For my cocktail, I ordered the BOULEVARDIER LA POIRE Made with rye whiskey, campari and sweet vermouth. Ooh La La! Once seated, I placed my three course order: PÂTÉ DE CAMPAGNE I'm not sure what country style pâté of duck & pork is but it was excellent. It was enough to feed two people so be aware you're going to be in pâté heaven. I don't think I saw the cassis mustard, the plate had a dollop of jam? STEAK FRITES This is the entire reason why my go to meal is French. That steak cut was cooked perfectly! It had an amazing sear around the entire cut. Steak that was cooked "perfectly" with a silky Au poivre sauce and lets not forget the "Frites". Oh so good. C'Mon, admit it. The French just own fries! I ended my meal with Crème Brûlée, another personal favorite. What an amazing meal. If you want to experience a great French Bistro in New York City? I highly recommend Steak Frites Bistro read more

Came here to have lunch and watch World Cup. The service is outstanding. The food is meh. Everything was technically right but I have also had better of everything. The steak and fries were cooked to order on an openish kitchen. The French onion soup needs more depth to the sauce and a little more body, too watery for me. The creme brûlée needed to set a little longer. read more

11/10. Exceptional French restaurant, best I've had in the U.S. Friendly and attentive service with authentic cuisine cooked and served to perfection. It truly exceeded my expectations, especially at nearly 11pm. My husband had the prix fixed menu with the onion soup, steak au pouvre, and crème brûlée, all absolutely perfect. I had the mussels which were also perfect. If you're looking for authentic French, this is absolutely the place. After experiencing this first hand I would say the prices are more than fair for the quality. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others. read more

I have been constantly craving this restaurant since my first visit in Q1 of 2025. Even after multiple visits (brunch only), the food and service always deliver. Pâté de Campagne: Pleasant, elegant, and surprisingly plentiful. Onion Soup Gratinée: Not too salty, extremely savory, and absolutely cheesy. Shoe String Fries: Crispy and criminally addicting. Burger Français: Juicy and thick. Steak Frites: Juicy and tender. Le French Dip: One of the best things I've ever ate. The prime rib is already gushing with flavor, but the dip takes you to a different universe. read more

From the Owner/Host to our sever Angel- our family of 7 was treated like we were family!! Even patrons were giving us suggestions on what to eat! We were in New York celebrating and this restaurant was the perfect choice! From the bread (fresh whipped butter) to the fan favorite- French fries, everything was delicious! Can't say enough about how exquisite the Beef Bourguignon was!! So tender and flavorful! I've never had a "French" hamburger but this was probably my favorite (being from Texas that's typical!). Amazing juicy and complimented with such savory onions, and that cheese was the icing on the burger! Restaurant was so quaint and comfortable! Loved the story the owner shared about using his grandmothers silverware! Overall top notch experience!! read more

This place was awesome. We called to make a reservation as we drove in from New Jersey. We arrive earlier than our reservation (8 PM) and found perfect parking out front. We were sat up at the front which reminded me of a bar but no big deal. They brought out a bread basket and it was delicious. We ordered the streak and fries and they came out almost immediately. My wife and I probably could have shared a plate because we had the equivalent of a full steak and fries left over. We ordered our steak medium and it was perfect! My wife ordered a Lychee drink and loved it. Our server was very attentive and provided us with excellent service. I went to the bathroom and it was very cute and clean. We took our left over meal to our friends at the hospital who were in labor and they really enjoyed it. read more
