DarynaOctober 21, 2014I celebrated my bday at this place. Service is good. Tasty food and nice vibrancy .. They are recently opened and so far everything is terrific. Hope they will stay open for a long time. Thank you.
Time Out New YorkDecember 16, 2014The menu here blends country-style cooking with modern plates and ingredients are plucked directly from their garden upstate. Try the grilled oysters cooked in smoked cabbage butter. Read more
Chris PolloneMarch 1, 2015Nice room & friendly service. The food is tasty. Grilled oysters & gumbo z'herbes were hits. BUT portion sizes are quite small. Lobster & grits might have had 1/2 tail worth of meat. Over-order here.
Bin YangOctober 19, 2014Fascinating food, the terrine is very light and the Poutine is an interesting take as well, with large balls of lamb filled potato dumplings. Quality ciders on the wine list too!
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: B+. Try King Bee for refreshing, light brunch dishes that will whisk you away to New Orleans for the morning. Read more
RCJanuary 21, 2016Our choices were all so rich. The duck is great as well as the fried oysters. The ample pork cracklings should be shared. Cute space and friendly staff.- Valentin GuerinJanuary 19, 2015A neighborhood gem, King Bee is a really nice place! The food is excellent (try the Pork Cracklings) and the wine list is impressive.
Stephanie WuOctober 25, 2014The hors d'oeuvres are amazing. Especially recommend the ployes, cracklings, and rillettes. Roast cod entree is really flavorful and soft. Delicious!
Kelli SolomonOctober 12, 2014Everything is good, but all entrees come in a bowl with broth which muddles everything together. The grilled oysters are awesome but there are only 2 so not worth the price.
jason pJune 24, 2015Outstanding. Fantastic food and very attentive service. This should be rated 9+. easily Michelin standard food being prepared
Andrew AdamsMay 28, 2016Cozy dark ambiance. Duck is great. Very good new American fare; always table available! Nice service
David DunhillJanuary 11, 2016A chronic brunch spot. Bread pudding with foie gras, country ham benedict with lobster hollandaise. No regrets.
Marissa StuartFebruary 26, 2015Make sure to try the pork cracklings. They're an intricate symphony of sweet and savory flavors.
Damian BayonaApril 8, 2015French themed cuisine with intimate atmosphere. Get the roasted cod with one of their cocktails.
Matthew CaldecuttJuly 17, 2015There are too many good things here in addition to their Oyster Happy Hour that there's no one dish I can recommend.
Emilie DishonghApril 21, 2015The poutine is more like a Chinese bun with slow braised lamb neck - a delicious improvement, to me.
AmateurConciergeMarch 1, 2015A hybrid of French Canadian and Cajun food, everything done pretty well.
Katherine DNovember 7, 2014Disappointing. Cute space and super friendly host, everything else fell apart. Minuscule wine pours (opt for a bottle if you must), small portions and uninspired dishes. Waiter ignored us for 15 min.
