I was feeling a little under the weather, and the place we initially stopped for lunch wasn't quite what we were hoping for. We made a couple of twists and turns and eventually ended up at Tribeca just before it started storming. It seemed as though there was a bit of a working lunch crowd in the area, so it was a little full. However, we were quickly seated and proceeded to order. Trying to recover I didn't order any alcohol, but one of my friends had the Chianti Classico. They said it was quite good. Among us, we ordered the fettuchine Alfredo with chicken, the lasagne Bolognese, and the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken, although a little dry, was well seasoned and tasty. The mashed potatoes were delicious and smooth. It was just what I needed; some home cooked food to help me feel better. All the food came with a small salad which was fresh and crisp. Because I was a little sick, I didn't try my friends food, but they both cleaned their plates. It looks like a great place for lunch, and there's also and happy hour, so it may be great for that as well. Great service and good food. Definitely worth...
Read moreOrdered a a glass of red wine (beautiful) and a steak cooked medium rare. The steak was cooked well done- aside from that it was so tough it was inedible. I tried a piece from the side of the steak and a piece from the middle but it was all bad. I very gently told the waiter that it was so tough and was over cooked. He apologised and offered to bring me another. He mentioned that the next one might be the same so could try something else. I ended up ordering a Cobb Salad, it was average at best, but it did have lovely big pieces of blue cheese in there. Everything was fine until I asked for the bill and saw that I was charged for the steak. I questioned the waiter who replied that once I touched the steak I had to pay for it. This argument went on for approximately 15mins. It was extremely embarrassing and unpleasant. Obviously won’t be returning and am disappointed that I don’t have positive feedback about the restaurant...
Read moreExcellent take on Italian x French classics on Rue Cler! We found the atmosphere inviting and the wine list particularly great. We ordered the seasonal vegetable soup (butternut squash) and my husband had the chicken & chorizo dish, while I had a poulpe snacké. English speakers, do not let the “snacké” in your translator tool fool you - this was a full meal: side bowl of delightful sage polenta with THREE large, perfectly juicy, tender and crispy octopus tentacles. Our server was kind and attentive - I did not catch his name but he is from Comté, and was delightful. We would strongly recommend this place.
For those with food allergies and sensitivities, they had a QR code where you could check allergens on all of the dishes… in your language. I was very thankful for this feature and it...
