Prepackaged Weeks Old Roast Turkey on rock hard stale bread. West Broadway

by LoveIIeat

Ordered a Turkey Swiss Sandwich over the phone and asked how long should I wait before picking up the sandwich, the man said 5 minutes. That should have gave me a clue. I got there and paid $8.00 plus had to pay a tip of $1.44, required. Got back to work and opened my prepackaged sandwich with American cheese on it instead of Swiss cheese. Then I noticed the tomatoes were all smashed and the lettuce was welted. At least the mayo was fresh. The turkey was very hard and tasted like it was left over from 2007 Thanksgiving, no kidding! Of course the baguette is suppose to be hard but not stale and rock hard. Don't even bother to eat or order from this place. For the price of food the food should be freshly made! Close them down!

• Pros: I didn't get poisoned
• Cons: The food is days old.

Very cute neighborhood place... great standby

by poi098

Petite Abeille has so many great things about it... great hot chocolate, the fries are pretty good, burgers are always a good thing and great beer selection. Apple pie also is wonderful. However, for all the great reviews, there is nothing that really pops out. I have had the roast chicken (gross), the specials sound better than they taste, the steak au poivre is good but sometimes boring. I think the menu needs an update because I just don't know what to order anymore...

• Pros: Great neighborhood place, the wait staff are really nice, you get seated quickly
• Cons: Booooring menu

one of my favorite restaurants in the city

This is really a cute place and a great bargain. Mussels are good, beer selection is very good and for some reason the mac-n-cheese is terrific. I am yet to find better in nyc.

Been there quite a few times and admittedly have to say dinner menu seems to impress more than the brunch one.

Definitely a great neighborhood choice and a lot more bang for for your buck than Odeon across the street. I think the chef's kids were even eating in a table in the back one Friday night - which just seemed to add to the cuteness.

• Pros: Delicious, Homespun, Beer
