    The Odeon has definitely been around for a while now, but this is actually my first time here. I got seated outdoors, and I enjoyed it given that it's a summer night. I had the Wagyu fries and as part of the Wagyu, I had garlic butter. I found that I really enjoyed the steak, but what stood out to me was the fries! I definitely felt like it was seasoned well

    Ubiquitous French Onion Soup - 3/14/2026

    The ODEON 14th March 2026 Yes, I was here back in the 1980s, a kid with my friends, we would hang out here after hours with our French restaurant comrades. Oh, we were so chic in our designer garb. Spending summers in the south of France. Speaking French to the waiters. I loved it all. Simpler times yes, I love the Odeon. The Odeon is iconic New York. Propriétér, Keith McNally, whose memoir I am currently reading, brought the French Bistro trend back in the day to lower Manhattan, also at the time, Anthony Bourdain of Les Halles. Which was another hangout of ours, but unfortunately gone now. It's great to see the Odeon still here 40 years later. Going strong. Très Chic. Très French. Très Fun. Only more tourists are arriving by busloads due to the popularity of LOVE STORY (about JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette on FX currently). Thanks, Ryan Murphy. 5 Stars still.

    Salmon with salad

    This place is from what I remember back in the 1980's. Located in Tribeca, this restaurant was in the middle of nowhere. Soho was a loft district, becoming an artist enclave and Tribeca was a former industrial area in transition. Not a lot has changed inside, from what I can see. The food, however is better than ever. I had the boeuf bourguignon. The beef was like buddah. Rich gravy, beef broth with carrots, mushrooms, onions. I loved it. Even my wife's salad, I mean, how good can a salad be, was delicious. She had it with a nice salmon. Service was prompt and efficient. The vibes from the decor are where Pastis designers may have drawn inspiration. A New York icon, to be sure.

    "The Odeon is an iconic, long-standing French-American brasserie in New York City's TriBeCa neighborhood, known for its classic dishes, Art Deco bar, and lively, "decadent" atmosphere that has made it a city institution since the 1980s, famously featured in Bright Lights, Big City. It's celebrated for its French onion soup, steak frites, and cocktails like the Cosmopolitan, offering a quintessential downtown dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating. " I can't think of a better place to meet up for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner than The Odeon. I love the ambience and feel of this place and the downtown vibe is for me. Think about it, it's 9pm and you feel like having an omelet or a steak or a salad Nicoise, where else? Or sipping a cocktail at a long Art Deco bar.. where else? Let's talk food.. love the Veggie and Yellowfin Tuna Burger, building my own omelette, French Onion soup with a Caesar salad. The desserts are classic.. Creme Brulee, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Sugar Doughnuts and their homemade ice cream. The next love.. the dining room. Que puis-je dire ? ( what else can I say). The interior is cozy and sometimes tight, featuring red booths and a high-energy, candlelit ambiance. The booths are spacious and good seating for people watching. The room has a definite European vibe. Rochelle and I met up for lunch today and decided to build our own omelette. One can choose three ingredients from ham, Cheddar, spinach, mushrooms, Gruyere, tomatoes and onions and choose soft, medium or well. The side is salad or fries. I chose the Gruyere, spinach and onion with fries, Rochelle chose tomato, cheddar and cucumber with salad. We enjoyed our omelette very much and shared fries and salad. I ordered bottomless cup of coffee. For dessert, summertime weather in Spring, we ordered ice cream. Vanilla and mint chocolate chip hit the spot. The service is excellent, courteous and very accommodating. Shout out to Angelina for great service. If you are looking to have a long meal with a great dining vibe, The Odeon is THE place.

    The Odeon is one of those classic NYC spots that feels timeless the moment you step inside. Cozy seating? Definitely. A little tight? Absolutely. But honestly, it's part of the charm--exactly what you'd expect from a true New York institution. We kicked things off with the French onion soup, and it was phenomenal: rich, deeply savory broth and a glorious layer of melty cheese that made every spoonful comfort in a bowl. The salmon that followed was a bit on the fishier side for my taste, but the tender, perfectly cooked steak frites completely saved the day. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. The crème brûlée was absolute perfection: silky custard with that satisfying crack of caramelized sugar on top. Service was friendly and attentive, and despite the lively Tribeca buzz, the space manages to feel family friendly, warm, and welcoming. The Odeon remains a quintessential NYC dining experience!

    Crispy Calamari

    Appetizers - Crispy Calamari - can't go wrong with calamari. Crispy, chewy and paired with the perfect dip. Salmon Tartar - perfectly diced salmon with avocado. Entrees- Moules Frites - a little disappointed with the mussels. It wasn't flavorful enough and almost each of them had shells inside Steak Frites - perfectly juiced steak paired with the BEST fries. Dessert - Crème brûlée - ended dinner with the best dessert! It was perfectly burnt and caramelized. We finished this in five minutes.

    Had not been to The Odeon for a long time and returned for dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very, very busy but they were able to seat us within a few minutes of our reservation time. The food was okay - we had the French Onion Soup, Salmon Tartare, Croque Monsieur and Flank Frites and for dessert, the Profiteroles. None really stood out but not bad. Our server Sabrina was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was very lively but a bit hectic.

    Steak Frites w/Garlic Butter

    An NYC and American Classic. As iconic a restaurant as any other in the city, with a storied history, that nevertheless has seamlessly remained relevant for over 4 decades, an astonishing acheivement for a New York City restaurant. Somehow I nearly made it a full 20 years as an NYC resident before dining here, but I've surely made up for lost time over the past couple of years and now will go here at any chance I am lucky enough to get. While the burger is justifiably beloved, and you in fact really can't go wrong with anything on the classic American Brasserie menu of refined Americana my go-to order here is most often the Steak Frites which features a reliably perfect, impeccably marbled and lusciously charred New York Strip along with the legendary house fries, on most everyone worth taking seriously's shortlist of the best in the city. It's also quite likely my overall personal favorite steak in the city currently. For an uncharge, it's offered sauced with a few of the different classics, namely au poivre, garlic butter, Béarnaise, or Roquefort. Again, you can't go wrong with any preparation or lack thereof , I generally opt for the sauce on a ramekin on the side, the better to appreciate the perfectly prepared steak on it's own, and adding the sauce sparingly as well as leaving some to dip the fries in. On the occasions I'm convinced to stray from my beloved steak it's often times on account of a particularly beguiling special, like a deliciously vibrant pasta special w/asparagus, spring peas. artichoke on a rainy early spring day, beautifully highlighting the farmers markets bounty of the moment. There's also wonderful classic daily specials for each day of the week like a delectable Sunday Chicken Pot Pie. I would highly recommend if possible, if dining alone or with one other friend or partner sitting at the gorgeous, classic bar. Not only will you get to appreciate being in the hands of likely the most professional and charming bar staff in Manhattan, making some of the best cocktails, but you will also be exceedingly likely to have the opportunity to get into a interesting and/or wild conversation with a classic New York character, quite possibly a famous or infamous one at that. While the prices certainly come off as cheap in the eyes of many, other than perhaps the fabulously wealthy and glamorous residents of it's surrounding Tribeca neighborhood, perhaps the most clout-coveted precinct of them all, considering it's location in said hood, it actually does kind of rate as a square deal.

    Had a reservation for 4:45pm dinner on a Thursday night and the place was already packed but we were welcomed warmly and promptly seated. Server Maddie C. was friendly and helpful with our menu questions. We read prior reviews and decided on the mussels, steak frites and dessert. The mussels arrived inedible, undercooked. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt since the place was already packed this early and we're only human. They were very apologetic and quickly asked what else they could bring us. We chose the buffalo chicken dumplings, tasty but tough dough 7/10. The steak frites and fries were 10/10, the garlic butter was stellar. Dipped everything in it!!!! We settled on the molten chocolate cake, which had an ice cream scoop(homemade), and a cookie crumble. AMAZING 10/10. Even with a full house you could have a conversation and not have to shout across a 2 ft. table. Overall 4.5. Close transit proximity is a plus, near several different subway and bus options. If you haven't been, definitely check it out.

    Mary and Cathy at the Odean. Great time! Thank you all. 5-29-26

    I took my childhood friend to the Odean as a celebration of her visit and new beginnings for the next steps in my life. We're boomers--LOL and booked a 5.15 pm table. You know quiet, not crowded. Not the case. The restaurant was hopping. People of all ages were there. The food as I remembered was amazing, coffee fabulous, drinks yummy and the service attentive but not overbearing. Lovely atmosphere from hosts who greet you and at the end bid you goodbye. Wonderful, upbeat vibe. Highly high recommend. Love the Art Deco. Thank you to everyone for a lovely evening especially our lovely server.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

The…read morepull apart truffle monkey bread was our initial reason for coming, and although the price point was quite steep, I would say it's worth the try. The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting.

I went on a Thursday night, and the place was absolutely packed. The front feels more like a bar/casual area, while the dining room is tucked toward the back. My reservation was at 10:15 PM, so I actually had a light dinner beforehand and ordered a little lighter than I normally would. I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor. We got two cookies to go which were divine. I'd get them to stay to try it with the oolong milk next time, but we had to run. The service was friendly, courteous. Ambiance was trendy but not uptight.

    I've come here twice now, and the first time was amazing, the second time was good. My first visit…read morewas in the Christmas season last year and we came for the famous burger and the fries. After a short wait, we were sat downstairs and able to order. The mornay fries were so delicious we ended up ordering a second one, while the burger was also delicious. The second visit, we waited ~30 minutes (not bad for a walk-in on a Friday night) and we were sat upstairs. Additional to the burger and mornay fries, we got the chicken sliders and a malted ice cream. The fries were unfortunately a bit overdone and hard, and after expressing our disappointment to the waiter(since it was our favorite dish our previous visit), the amazing manager came by and remedied the situation well! The malted ice cream was also delicious! I would definitely come again.

    I stopped in around 12:40- about 40 minutes after they opened on a Wednesday. I knew I had to get…read morethere early because I didn't have a reservation. Luckily, I was by myself, which gave me some wiggle room to grab a seat at the bar. The seating was quite tight, and I was sandwiched between two other people; however, I knew I was lucky just to get a seat. Once I sat down, I was quickly served water. I already knew I wanted the double cheeseburger with bacon and egg, so it didn't take me long to place my order. I definitely enjoyed sitting at the bar because the restaurant has an open-kitchen concept. You can watch the chefs prepare the food, which is always enjoyable for me. The burger itself was definitely an experience! It was beautifully presented, and everything was cooked to perfection. Honorable mention goes to the pepper on the thick-cut bacon- it added a nice savory kick to the burger. I had really been looking forward to trying it because I recently passed by Au Cheval in Chicago, but the wait was extremely long, so I didn't get the chance to go. This burger was definitely good. It's not at the top of my list, but it was worth the experience. I must say, it's also extremely high-end price-wise. For just the burger with bacon and egg, plus tax and tip, I paid about $47. Again, it was a treat, but not necessarily one I'd order again. I'd love to try some of the city's other standout burgers before returning for this one. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Would I return? Sure, but I would probably try something other than the burger next time.

    We had scored an awesome street parking spot and there was no way we were giving that up, so hubs…read moremade sure wherever we ate was within this area. We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

    Ordered food to go because the bar was very loud. The music the DJ was playing was good though…read more Ordered buttermilk chicken tenders, shepherd's pie, hot chicken sandwiches, Asian-sesame dry rubbed wings, fries, and tater tots. The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.

    I've visited the original The Smith location several times over the years and have always enjoyed…read moremyself. This was my first time dining at the Lincoln Square location on 63rd Street, which opened in 2012, and it was outstanding. A friend was celebrating her promotion and invited a group of friends to join her. We were a table of 11 and were seated in the back dining room. Considering the size of our group, the service was remarkable--attentive, efficient, and never intrusive. I started with a gin martini, which was perfectly made. We ordered an assortment of appetizers to share, making it easy for everyone to sample several things from the menu. For my main course, I went with the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. Dessert was the highlight of the meal for me. The "Death by Chocolate" was outstanding--a rich chocolate mousse, a caramelized layer of crispy sugar over it, and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. It was the perfect way to finish the evening. Walking into the restaurant, the first thing that caught my attention was the impressive 50-foot zinc bar. The spacious dining room, designed by the Rockwell Group, has an industrial-chic feel, with white subway-tiled walls, reclaimed wood, and large windows. There's also a classic black-and-white photo booth in the basement, which adds a fun touch. The menu is broad enough to appeal to almost everyone, ranging from a raw seafood bar and prime steaks to burgers, mac 'n cheese, and popular brunch dishes. I also appreciate the complimentary house-filtered still and sparkling water--a small detail, but a nice touch. The location is particularly convenient for Lincoln Center, with easy access from the 1 train at 66th Street-Lincoln Center and the A, B, C, and D trains at Columbus Circle. A Little History The Smith traces its roots to 2007, when Jeffrey Lefcourt and Michael Jacobs opened the original location in the East Village. The 63rd Street restaurant opened in November 2012 as the brand's third New York City location, designed to serve Upper West Side residents as well as the large number of people attending performances at Lincoln Center. After years of enjoying the East Village location, I'm glad I finally made it to the 63rd Street restaurant. With excellent service, a lively atmosphere, a broad menu, and a great location, it delivered a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back.

The food was great! Everything I had tasted good and I didn't have any huge complaints about. I recommend the truffle parmesan fries, burrata with bread, and the shrimp scampi (which wasn't spicy as advertised but was very fresh and lemony)
