New Fave French Place

by CelestialNYC

Had dinner here recently and loved the food so much (had the duck and the hangar steak dishes) that I am planning to come back with other friends to share how great is it! it's a really cute French bistro kind of place with a bar at the front. The drinks are good but I think expensive. No drink specials when I was there. The vodka is made in-house and they have different flavors like vanilla. They have a sunset menu, so from 5-7 pm you can select a menu ranging from $15-17. my friend and i missed the time though but the regular menu has good selection thats not on the sunset one. Best duck i've had in a while and the steak was juicy and flavorful too. can't wait to try the other dishes! Service was also very friendly. I lost my cell phone and the manager allowed me used to use his to call my friend!

• Pros: great food
• Cons: pricey drinks

Best time without the happy hour!

by pierre47

I went to the Flea market cafe on Monday night with my girlfriend and we sat at the bar because we wanted to enjoy the happy hour. Unfortunately, there was no more happy hour! We were a little bit disapointed but we spent a great evening anyway. The bartender introduced us to their special "sunset menu" 15 bucks for 2 courses and a beer, quite amazing! We had a really great time with the french girl behind the bar. Thanks for the great great deal and the conversations. We'll be back!

• Pros: great value great service

Cute place to dine with girlfriends

by queenofqueens06

I went here with my girlfriends last night for happy hour and their Sunset dinner.

The wine we had was fantastic. Great body and flavor. The Happy Hour special is buy one get one free of any drink. The catch is its buy one get one free PER PERSON. You can't just order two drinks and call it a day each person has to have two drinks. Which would be fine, except that when we were ready to sit down for dinner the "blonde bomb" told us that we could not bring our drinks to our table they were to be consumed at the BAR ONLY. When we inquired why we couldn't finish our drinks at the table she informed us, "we are already doing a really nice thing here for you." A roll of my eyes and a couple gulps of my wine and we were able to be seated.

The rest of the staff was incredibly nice. We didn't have any problems and no one chased us out of the restaurant claiming we did not tip well. We went on a Thursday night at 5:30 and the restaurant was not crowded at all and we had no problems getting seated and getting our food in a timely manner.

This place is authentic French and the food was absolutely Fabulous, all four of us finished every single thing on our plates. As other posters have stated DEFIDENTLY go here just avoid the blonde and don’t let her ruin what is otherwise a lovely place.

• Pros: great food, good wine, unique atmosphere
• Cons: snotty waitress
