An excellent dining experience with a classic Parisian steakhouse feel. The food was outstanding – perfectly cooked steak, rich and flavorful sauce, and the famous unlimited fries were crispy and delicious throughout the meal.
The atmosphere is elegant yet lively, with attentive staff and a well-organized flow even during busy hours. Service was generally very good, though slightly rushed at moments, which is understandable given how popular the place is.
Overall, a fantastic spot for steak lovers and a great choice for a special meal or a memorable night out. Definitely worth visiting.

“A classic steak and frites (simple, safe, and satisfying).”
I did like it, but this is not a mind-blowing meal — it’s a very solid, classic steak and fries done well. Nothing marvelous, but a reliable place if you’re craving that combo. I actually like that the menu has only one dish, so you really can’t go wrong.
The restaurant itself is really nice and the staff is super friendly. There are no reservations, only walk-ins. We were lucky to go on a rainy day, so the line was short and we waited about 30 minutes, but I’ve seen it get very long other days.
It’s definitely a place you should try at least once. I’m not sure I would come back, but I’m glad I tried it — it feels like a comfort, safe place to go.

Classic steak and frites serve all day, every day. If you’re looking for a safe, affordable, and easy choice for steak frites, this is your place. They only serve one dish, which makes their steak frites consistently good in taste and quality. You pay $38 for a salad, a large portion of fries, and more than two servings of steak. The interior is quite tight, and the tables are close together, just like the original French location. There are no reservations, but lately the restaurant has been more empty. Service is quick and attentive too.

The food and wine tasted good. Salad was bad though, it seemed to me that the lettuce was not fresh. Fries in the first portion were a little bit cold but didn’t happen for the second potion.
Service was super quick but the layout is tight and they can’t easily move through the tables so it takes time to find your waiter if you need anything.
Overall it was a good experience and worth the money.

I came here because I was blown away by the steak frites at the restaurants in Paris and had to try it in New York. My expectations were high and overall the review is for how they met my expectations. Some reviews are saying it’s just as good as Paris, but there’s a few things that just miss the mark.
The salad was a little different, still good but not as good
The 1st portion of steak was smaller. They cooked it perfectly rare, but they weren’t as generous with the sauce as they are in Paris, and the sauce wasn’t served as warm. The 2nd portion was very generous, and the sauce was warm so that was closer! I also did ask for extra sauce on the 2nd serving.
The wine was still quite good and happy to say the dessert was just as good!
If you’re looking to get the same experience as in Paris, it’ll scratch an itch but fall a little short. But if you’re looking for a pretty good steak frites for a decent price, very worth it.

UNREAL! I haven’t been able to make it to the first location popped in to this location on a work trip and it did not disappoint. I love the hustle of the servers and the atmosphere is awesome. Food was absolutely incredible and cocktails are delicious. Prices are insanely amazing.

Food was amazing. The best part: you get more refill of fries and entrecôte. The appetizer salad they bring is also excellent. They serve wine instead of balsamic with the bread, which I found pretty interesting. The taste was incredible. They have plenty of desserts.

Overeall very negative experience for its price point and do not recommend. The location is entirely wait onsite-only, which is problematic at rush hours. It is very crowded and densely packed – desks and chairs are parked close to each other, such that passing another person requires intentional scooting. The desks are also not provisioned with an equal supply of condiments: some larger desks come with peppers and salt, and I have seen waiters carrying dispensers of olive oiles, yet neither were ever offered or on the table.
The service quality is poor, and the waiter made no attempt to show up more than what is absolutely necessary at times she sees fit only – my first request to have the water bottle replenished was entirely ignored when the waiter offered the second serving of steak frites, and was only fulfilled when she came back to give the dessert menu.
The food leaves more to be desired. I ordered the fixe prix, having come in very hungry, yet the severely excessive, suffocating and already-blended Dijon mustard in the starting salad, coupled with the soft, visibly unfresh lettuce, is so off-putting that I had to turn away a good portion of it. The steak frites portioning also left more to be desired: while the steak and (especially) its sauce were of good flavors, they were not served in sufficient quantities, and it felt like the majority of the filling came from the fries, which I found no superior to your run-of-the-mill French fries from McDonald’s. As a saving grace, the dessert is excellent in flavor, but it too can benefit from an enlarged serving.
In summary – you’d be paying $38 pre-tax, pre-tip at least to be densely packed and served food at mixed qualities by waiters who come and go as they wish. Midtown East has better to offer – or, hop on an E and treat yourself to some real thing over LIC.

I have been to this restaurant in Paris, London, and now NYC. They’ve done a great job of keeping the food and taste the same from location to location even over seas. Of course, you choose drinks, and dessert, but your meal has been decided when you got in line an hour before. If it’s your first time know that they’ll serve you a salad, then steak and fries. They will refill your steak and fries again. For sure share a dessert or two. They are so good.

The place is totally to recommend. You don’t need a reservation and depending on the day and time, you can get in line outside, but move quickly. There is no “menu”, it is just ONE dish. Meat and fries. I’ve read that they serve “small” portions but they repeat the dish with the same amount. And I can assure you that you will be very satisfied. The sauce? OMG, it’s the best thing to do and I also assure you that you’re going to ask for extra. They have a menu with drinks, mostly wines, but you can order your coke. The desserts? Excellent and are a quantity to share. The attention? Here I will be very sincere. I have been to this place 2 times and both times the waitresses look very serious. They are not rude but they are not kind either, do not expect a smile from them. The tables are next to each other, you feel like you are eating with people next to you without knowing them, but that is nothing serious. Overall, the food is worth it. It is a place to go to eat tasty and nothing else.
