A French bistro on an historic corner in the West Village from Cody Pruitt and Chef Max Mackinnon celebrating forgotten, iconic, and regional Gallic dishes alongside an exclusively-French, exclusively-natural 250+ wine list and a cocktail menu of retooled classics and lesser-known gems. It might be located in a 150+ year old restaurant space on the corner of Greenwich Street and Christopher Street, but it closer resembles a neighborhood spot in the 11th arrondissement in Paris.

Restaurant Review: Libertine in the West Village – The New York …
Reviews
Libertines cooking is great. The classics are as well executed and flavour forward as you could hope. The wine list is creative and interesting, the room itself well arranged and quite beautiful – unlike in French bistros, there’s actually room to breathe.
Don’t skip bread and butter, in fact go further and actually visit butter mountain in the kitchen.
Highlights were the scallop & the near famous duck. The steak tartare had all the balance you’d want with great textures – the chocolate mousse was a chartreuse infused outrageous decadence. Personally I’d skip the much celebrated eggs mayo, unless you have a particular connection to that combo.
Our server, (I think his name was nick) deserves special praise – great care and attention, very generous in spirit – a wonderful host.
Will return. An easy 5 stars.
When we arrived, we were told the restaurant was “committed for the night,” despite the fact that nearly half the dining room was visibly empty. We mentioned we actually had a reservation in 45 minutes and were told, rather dismissively, that we’d be seen “in 45.” When we returned, the same empty tables remained untouched yet we were seated at a four-top in the center of the restaurant, even though there were several far more comfortable, available options.
When we politely asked if we could move, we were told no without any explanation. When our server came over, we mentioned that the hostess had been quite rude, hoping for some understanding. Instead, he immediately defended her, saying she was “dealing with a very busy West Village restaurant,” and told us to “be nice to her.” It was a stunning lack of professionalism we hadn’t been unkind, simply honest about how we’d been treated.
After that exchange, the hostess came over again and made the situation so uncomfortable that we decided to leave before even ordering.
It’s unfortunate, because the space itself is lovely and I had eaten here once before. But the experience left us feeling unwelcome and embarrassed and that’s not the kind of energy any restaurant, especially one in such a competitive neighborhood, should be putting out.
