Tasty!!! 1st class all the way!!! WOW what a great experience. Dinner was superb, the room is beautiful and very romantic, everyone was dressed to the nines (men be sure to wear a jacket and you will feel most comfortable with a tie, ladies dress to impress). Lots of famous people were there and the place was packed. Not an open seat on a Wednesday night. Be sure to get reservations. For great apps we suggest the figs with prosciutto which is sliced thicker than in other joints and makes it taste great, also loved the artichoke heart carpaccio (thinly sliced and yummy) with poached qual eggs. that is a great taste combo. Also love the smoked salmon blini with caviar which was delicate and flavorful. For the main courses you cannot go wrong with the HUGE soufflés’. We had the mushroom which was really good and filling even though it was as light as a cloud. She had the lobster Raviolis with the Bruere Blanc sauce which is a light white sauce full of flavors. For dessert you cannot go wrong with any of the soufflés. We had both the pistachio and the grand Marnier and both was super good. We also had the Crepes Flamed Orange medallions with Grand Marnier which were very good. We did not take any food photos because it was a bit too high class for me to be schlepping photos at the table, but I wish I had so you could see how pretty each dish looked. This place pays attention to the details and that is why it has been one of the city’s best restaurants for nearly 60 years. This is a winner with 2 thumbs way up. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 7 million views in 2021, over 13 million views in the first 6 months of 2022 and we thank you for that. We don’t get paid, we just love to eat.

Did not know what to expect. There were like 5 people at the door when we entered. We were seated at a small table facing the band area. A little odd was the table light and the cord running between my wife and me. We did the 3 course price fix;186$ I think. Service was attentive. Ordered oysters, shrimp with caviar 30$ extra and split pea soup all was outstanding and very tasteful. Dinner was lobster ravioli and so we sole (sole was filet table side). Both were outstanding as well. Desert was Grand Marnier soufflé and fruit tart. Wow really recommend the soufflé very good. They brought the soufflé with a candle for our occasion. A jazz trio was on stage and the owner sang Sinatra style before a very talented French female singer started. Very very good. The owner seems to want to be a showman lol. A little loud for such a small place as the music made it hard to talk. Over all very nice.

A truly exceptional experience from start to finish. There aren’t enough words to describe how magnificent the service and atmosphere here was.The owner wonderfully introduced himself and manages a beautiful restaurant full of english garden roses, peonies and candlelight. One of New York’s best gems with a charming and heartwarming history! Just a rare NYC treasure for those who wish to be transported to another time while enjoying the delights of french cuisine and ambiance. Our server was beyond talented and helpful, and the owner is certainly a delightful singer. High praise for La Grenouille – they don’t make em’ like this anymore!

Everything was excellent. The execution in the kitchen couldn’t have been better. The food is traditional French and it doesn’t try to innovate, it simply nails what it sets out to do. The foie gras terrine was the best I ever had. The ambiance is fancy, with large mirrors, candelabra, and flower bouquets. The service couldn’t be more on top of the table. I wasn’t aware jackets were required, and they provided one with a smile. The prix fixe is a good deal with plenty of food, and very filling. Definitely fit for a grand celebration, but I’d say it’s expensive otherwise.

We have just had one of the finest dining evenings that we’ve ever enjoyed. From the owner’s beautiful renditions of Frank Sinatra standards to the graciousness of the serving staff, we were made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The menu is focused and the execution of each dish that we enjoyed was perfect in flavor and presentation. We were at our leisure to enjoy our meals and the music and the atmosphere. Rarely have we felt more relaxed and comfortable at a NYC restaurant.

This chic restaurant literally makes you feel like you’re eating at the most fabulous wedding with the most amount of flowers I have ever seen in one venue! Service was great, we sat at the bar and the bartender made us some really wonderful drinks and recommended the mussels with white wine and garlic. He was not wrong about the food or drink recommendations! Make sure you save some bread for the mussels, you’re going to want every drop of that sauce. I promise. Highly recommend.
