by titou

A very special place...with a friendly staff a big menu and a beautifull decor....a perfect day for me in east village is a lunch at Mogador and a dinner at Casimir....so when my friends told me that they were at casimir i decided to join them for a drink and maybe more...after a pastis at the bar, i had the boudin noir with a good red wine from the rhone valley...it was perfect...i can't wait to go back for a couscous with merguez ...thank you and happy new year...

Rude Staff...won't be back!

by afernand

Been here twice before b/c we live in the area. My mother-in-law came into town and we made a mistake of coming in 15 min early. The door was open so we didn't realise the place was not operating yet. We walked in & 3 of the wait staff in a matter of 3 minutes told us the place was still closed(why was the door open then?). Instead of telling us to wait by the bar till they got things set up, they all gave us a nasty looks as we stood by the door. Our mom asked 1 of them if she could use the bathroom and he pretended like he didn't hear her & walked right past her. Spare yourself the nuisance and take a pass on Casimir. Other businesses deserve the patronage when eating out is a luxury nowadays.

• Pros: Nice ambience & music
• Cons: Nasty staff, especially going there on Sunday

best night ever!!!!

by elisa70

I Went to Casimir French bistrot on Ave B, on Friday night with 2 of my girls that was girls night!

The restaurant was packed, we had a drink at the bar waiting for a table. The bartender (my god! very good looking with a thick french accent and beautiful tattoo!!!!!) made us cocktails with fresh ginger juice we had 2 each!!! sooo good! I want to go back just for it and for him!!!

The manager ( an other very cute frenchy) gave us an adorable table next to the garden door.

Bread and water were on the table in no time.

A waitress very sweet ( Japanese i believe) came to tell us the specials and take our order.

I am craaazy about "steack tartare" and i saw it on the menu! One of my friend took the special duck pan roasted glazed with a dry cherry sauce the other one the fish stew "la frioule".

To start we ordered to share la "parisienne salad' a mix of beets lentils carrots eggplant caviar and hard boil egg.

We had a such amazing diner! everything was delicious i love the tartare there and the duck was phenomenal I didn't try the fish stew but my friend really enjoyed it!

Around us people looked pleased and the staff was walking around to make sure that everyone was happy or didn't need anything.

For desert we share the "isle Flotant" surprise!!!! soft meringue floating in an egg custard toped with caramel....to die for!!!

the food,the atmosphere the music and of course the service were great.

I definitely want to go back to casimir. this time to eat at the bar (and the bartender... just jocking...well maybe not...)
