A friend lives nearby and suggested this place so we went for a primetime dinner. Although we had a reservation, it did not seem that they were managing the Customer flow effectively and we were made to wait in the crowded front area for about 15 minutes, which I find unacceptable.
The room is quite lovely although it does get loud with a lot of hard surfaces, they have done a good job using the back windows to create the illusion of additional space. I had the burger for $27 which was good but maybe not $27 good. My husband had the rigatoni which he liked although for $31 the portion was kind of ridiculously small. We all started with the deviled eggs, which were quite tasty, priced at $16. Our friend had the chicken as his main course, and he loved it.
Overall, the service was a bit hectic, but the serving staff was working very hard to keep up with the demand. I don’t know if I’d be rushing back to give it a second try but it’s nice to know as an option in that part of the West Village.

We went to The Leroy House for the first time tonight. It was great. They have decorated inside to feel warm and homey with old rugs and wood floors. The walls have cool photos and paintings. We ordered the Miso Cod and the Hamburger. The hamburger was amazing. Look at how tall it is in the picture. The server said that there are three cuts of beef in the burger. It comes with fries. They have a happy hour before 6 with $4 draft beers. Our service was flawless and professional. We will definitely come back. We had a great time.

Dinner here was a delightful experience. The wait staff was very helpful, quick and kind. The food was delicious! We had the mussels and Leroy burger and Bolognese and was prepared to perfection. The atmosphere was just the right amount of coziness and ambience.

This is one of the best NYC restaurant I’ve been to! Being a local NYer, great atmosphere, excellent service, and exquisite food for the price are the things I look for. Our waitress, Tong, was super friendly and attentive. The GM, Aaron, was sociable and made sure we were having a great time. Highly recommend this restaurant for a night to catch up with good old friends!

Food was 10/10. Best calamari I can remember. The crab parts was to die for and so generous with the crab. Service was delightful. Can’t wait to return.

A lovely West Village restaurant with excellent food and drinks. More of a Mediterranean focused menu but a wide range of excellent small plates, mains, salads and deserts. Very reasonable happy hour before six with good choice of drinks and nibbles. Their roast chicken is sublime. A West Village gem. Friendly and comfortable back room and a lively bar.

Had a fabulous meal with friends on a weekday evening. Beautiful ambiance, and good service. We loved the spicy beef tartare, deviled eggs, and my filet was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back!

Lovely outdoor dining experience.
The Oxacan sunset started the night off right and a bottle of Sancerre was the perfect bookend. The salmon tartare was fab tho skip the crab gratin dip.
The pork chop was a stellar dish (it takes a lot for a pork chop to excite me) as was the linguini and clams.

This place is the real deal. The staff was flexible in moving us from outside to inside without any issue. The menu is solid, and the food is incredibly well prepared. Pictured below is a duck confit dish, perfectly prepared and presented. Not pictured was a great mafaldine pasta dish with bolognese. Well done.
