What People Are Saying About Chez Napoleon

This cozy midtown spot stakes its authenticity on the French "grand-mere" in charge of the kitchen.

old school french
by slinki
I have been here several times over the years, the last time being July 2009. I appreciate this place for it's very well executed traditional French fare and casual atmosphere. It is cramped, but that contributes to the cozy, almost exclusive (in a good way) feel. I have generally found the staff very personable and professional...with one unfortunate exception. I don't know if she's still there, but she seemed to be in some parallel universe at the time she served us, barking at us to hurry up and order and being rather unpleasant overall (eg. coughing on us. Isn't that a health code violation? Well, it should be). And no, she was not French. She seemed rather to hail from some highway diner off the Jersey Turnpike. I do not like having to say a negative word about this place, and I hope it thrives as long as the owners want to run it. But something has to be done about that server!
- Pros: authentic yet unpretentious
- Cons: cramped, one staff member

delicious provencal french home cooking
by racheloves2eatout
an adorable cozy romantic sentimental restaurant with delicious savory south of France recipes that make your mouth water. This place serves one of my favorite bouillabaisse'. this dish is large however so order that for two. great foie gras, escargot, sweetbreads, and pretty much anything we have ever ordered.
- Pros: The food is great
- Cons: very grumpy bartender (grandson of the chef :) I have been to this restaurant more than a dozen times but i have never seen him actually smile and greet a customer. oh well.

Cute Cozy French Place
by gripdxd
I walked in for dinner and was immediately seated. It's a tight small place that decorated in an original design. You get the feel as if you are in France and not in NYC. It has a homey feel with a good story. My meal was good and dining experience great. Try this place for something different and out of the ordinary; it can be a romantic special one as well :D
- Pros: Original, Cozy, Authentic, Romantic
- Cons: Small it can get tight
