Alyssa Bereznak: I love this little French bistro. They do all the classics right, including french onion soup, escargot, and steak frites. You can also order fois grad on your hamburger. 'nuff said.
Justin Ferranti: The French onion soup is the perfect winter dish to warm up with. Very friendly service and the fact the waiters actually speak French adds a classic touch.

Doron Wesly: DO NOT order the French Onion Soup here, it really has bacon fat in it! And it's not stated in the menu. Terrible!

Tony Xerri: Great date spot. The cocktails really live up to the price and the atmosphere is spot on. Some of the food was so so, but the french onion soup is great. Baby calamari was sadly rubbery.
Percy Cockswain: Excellent pate and moules frites combined with a killer wine list and a cozy ambiance make this a clutch date spot.
Polish Bar Brooklyn Polish Bar: Brunch Time! This place will not disappoint.

Nik Nadolski: The spicy margarita and french onion soup are to die for.
Garrison Price: One of the best in NYC. Texas bar, order the micheladas. If you don't know about the puzzle under the cap then sorry. Go on Sunday afternoon for exceptional live music. They have soft pretzels.
Debbie: A foursquare check-in cannot express my love for Skinny Dennis. It's apparently very douchey on a weekend but I'm calling it now: Willie's Frozen Coffee is the new Turkey's Nest Margarita.

Bryan Yeager: Great lunch spot, especially on a nice weekend when you can sit in the garden. The salads are great; my favorite is the Goat cheese salad. Service has always been decent for me.
micah craig: Sacrebleu, the service here is so comically poor it's like a Monty Python skit about a French cafe, but the garden is lovely and the Croque Madame is excellent.
