The chicken is great. The frisée salad is amazing too.

Blueberry lemon pancakes are sublime. Sit outside if you can.

Duck au Poivre was cooked to perfection. #LifeOfAFoodie

Overwhelmed by pastry options? Get the almond croissant.
Sacha SJuly 9, 2017
It's quite overrated. The French touch makes Americans go crazy, but as a European you won't be that impressed. The price is to high compared with what you're getting. That said, the food is good.
Jamie WJuly 31, 2015
Food was great. Service was terrible. Treated like third class citizens because we were a larger group. It's all about expectations.
Macarena HmApril 18, 2015
The eggs benedict are delicious!
Premshree PillaiJuly 7, 2013
Wonderful casual space where the classics are done (mostly) right. The indifferent service needs work.

Oysters taste like they just came out of the sea. Also the trout was well cooked over a bed of potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
Brad ParkJanuary 7, 2014
Lafayette is the grand brasserie New York’s been lacking for some time now. Baltzhazar had a nice run, but the torch has been passed.
Sandy CSeptember 18, 2014
