Little Prince – Review – Soho – New York – The Infatuation
Balthazar, you had a good 16-year run, but it’s time to step aside. Lafayette is now the quintessential French bistro of bustling downtown NYC.

Little Prince is always a great spot if you are lucky enough to get a table. Monday is usually a quieter night especially it you arrive at an off hour.
The place has remained charming and intimate over the years. If you want to gossip the next table will definitely hear you. Tonight we opted for sitting at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and made a great martini with perfect olives.
The menu is on the small side but enough to choose from. We shared the branzino, French onion burger and the ratatouille.
My friend preferred the burger and funny enough I liked the fish better. The fries were great, a little more on the done side with just a hint of salt. The ratatouille is prepared cubed style and alittle crunchy. I much rather the ingredients sliced so it’s more of a softer medley.
Best to make reservations, especially if you are more than 2 people.

Little Prince is a cozy French bistro in SoHo with a great traditional menu and friendly staff (in cute uniforms with the French colors!). The food is very tasty—the Tuna tartar was a favorite. I really liked that they offered some specials (for dessert) which not a lot of French places do. The cocktails and drinks were also great – they have a really nice bar where you can sit at. The atmosphere is relaxed the only drawback is that it’s quite a small place, so it can be tight on space. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family and I would go back in a heartbeat.

My friend and I were screamed at by a waiter here. Although the food is good, I would recommend you go to Kyma for better treatment, better food, and the same late night experience.
My gluten free friend had asked if the burger could be made gluten free (as many recent posts on food blogs said it could be). The waiter told us “no burgers tonight”. She asked if they were all out and he said yes. It wasn’t a big deal and we ordered steak frites instead. We enjoyed our meal but noticed that other tables were getting the burger. One of our other friends asked the waiter why so many burgers were being made if they were all out. He then stomped over to my friend and I, the two gluten free people in the group, and started loudly insisting he had simply told us the burger couldn’t be made gluten free, even though everyone at the table thought he said they were out of the burger. We tried to have a respectful conversation with him about it (we’ve worked in the service industry and are pretty forgiving of mistakes). Instead of just apologizing for the confusion and ending the conversation, he started to scream at us for being confused. I point blank asked him “why are you yelling at me right now?” And pointed out that we had enjoyed the meal we did have so it wasn’t that serious. He screamed that it was because I “would not be blaming this on him” and stormed away. I did not interact with him for the rest of the night, largely because I was uncomfortable. I’m a student so a meal like this was a splurge for me and I really wish I was treated with basic respect. There’s no world in which it’s professional or acceptable for a waiter to yell at customers.

To start with the positive, we were in and out in under an hour. But to be honest, we did not feel the need to linger given the subpar food, atmosphere, and service. There is absolutely no notion of hospitality. The hostess lacks affect and has no business being in a service-facing field. We were asked repeatedly to move our seats closer into our tiny table, which was already crowded with out winter coat and bags. When we asked to move to a booth, the hostess refused insisting that there was a party coming in. None arrived in the entire hour we were there. The stuffy attitudes and loud music made a tiny space feel even smaller.
As for the food itself: except for the burger, the entire menu lacked the same finesse. I am currently nursing soda water and anti-acid trying to clean up the disaster that was the chicken dish. The menu says it’s chicken, but if you close your eyes, you’ll swear you’re eating two breast-sized pieces of garlic. That was the only flavor which was odd because they promised salsa verde, which they said was actually an herb medley. I indeed saw the greens but I couldn’t taste them or the chicken. Just garlic. Mountains and mountains of garlic.
The French soup was exciting at first bite but unfortunately disappointed thanks to the cheese atop which not bubbly, not golden, but subtly burnt as though it was sprinkled with cinders. The special ravioli was soaked in an orange lemon sauce that would have been more appropriate for vanilla ice cream. Cocktails were tiny, and the lemonade had an interesting lemon to sugar ratio: all sugar, a bit of lemon, and a rogue seed. Hey, at least it was made in house.
This restaurant is great if you don’t really care for good tasting food and need somewhere to sit for no more than 60 minutes.

Friendly service and good atmosphere coupled with disappointing and overpriced food.
The French Onion Soup was served in a small bowl, overpriced, and tasted like water so we had to replace it. They also charged us $12 for essentially one can of Diet Coke they poured into three different long glasses with lots of ice (i.e. no refills albeit sitting right at the bar) and it felt like a rip off. The eggplant parmigiana was nice but nothing to write home about.
Vibe was good but we will not be back.

Generous portions. Love the Artichoke for starters and the endive salad was so fresh. Mussels were difficult to eat as they had half a shell. Burger was nice, the fries could’ve been crispier they were a bit soggy. Overall, nice place and everyone was very friendly. Good for an early dinner as the vibe was average.

I had a great recent experience at Little Prince. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Our server was kind and the food was so tasty. The Ravioli in an orange brown butter is a must try!

They kicked us out after 1,75 hours (with a bill of 400$) – we had full drinks because they didn’t tell us that they have another reservation! Of course they liked that we ordered new drinks, fast money! Not costumer like! Couldn’t even finish our drinks at on bar!

Lovely place and servers, tasty food, large choice of wine (thank you to offer a true Apple cider produced in Britanny, France). Desserts (the crème brûlée and the chocolate tart) were both delicious. We had the chance to get seats without reservation. Great experience.

I had mixed feelings in deciding how many stars to give. I will discuss my main issue first then speak on the entire experience.
I few days after dining I noticed my card had been overcharged. Has this happened to anyone else? It took me calling three times throughout the day to finally get in contact with a manager. When we finally spoke, he seemed very willing to fix the issue and was apologetic. Thankfully, I had copy of my receipts, which I sent to him and am now waiting to hear back.
It is a small bustling restaurant with cute décor. Tables are very close together and it can be a bit loud. We had a 1:30pm reservation for Saturday brunch but we were not seated till 45 minutes later. The bar was filled with patrons having brunch so we waited by the narrow entryway (as it was too cold to stand outside).
There were only two servers for the entire restaurant though all tables were occupied for the duration of our time there; they did a good job in getting drinks and food out in a timely manner. The food was presented nicely and tasted delicious. I highly recommend the French toast and the steak and eggs. Moreover everything from the drinks to the food I saw others order looked amazing. Would be willing to dine there again.
