Awful

by deb10022 at Citysearch

Two of the four people in our party ordered the Angus steak. it was tough and almost inedible. The mixed salad had way too much balsamic vinegar in the dressing. After finishing a bottle of wine, we ordered two more glasses. They never came. The coconut sorbet tasted like ice cream, not sorbet, even though I was assured that it didn't have cream. I will never go back. I really don't know what people like about this place.

  • Cons: The steak was the worst

Alive and Kicking

by Fantastic at Citysearch

I must agree with pretty much all the reviews I read here. This place is GREAT

After 15 years (despite of false rumor that it was closing) Jubilee is well ALIVE & KICKING!

I had not been there in a while, but when I visited Jubilee it felt like it was yesterday. Nothing had changed.

I guess the key success of a restaurant is consistency. And Jubilee is just that.

The quality and the flavor of the food, the wine, the bartender, the music, the lighting, the atmosphere, the friendly efficent staff make you want to come back.

And now that we are in a recession - we all better make sure that what we are served is of quality. At Jubilee I am confindent to get a great meal and service for my dollar.

Take note: I tried to visit their website but found out that it was no longer Jubileeny.c o m but Jubileeny. n e t

JUBILEE.....it is just FANTASTIC!

  • Pros: Great value for the Dolllar
  • Cons: Can't think of any!!!!

Keep on Going

by Gourmande at Citysearch

Indeed it is a wonder when one arrives in front of Jubilee for the first time. The building does not give good credit for what is awaiting inside. But, I guess it is part of the adventure and the pleasant surprise. Jubilee is like one of those tucked-in little restaurant in Paris, where once you open the doors, you are transported into another world. It is busy, it is fun, it is happening and you want to part of it!

While you can enjoy a pleasant quiet lunch, dinner will be busy and lively. But, regardless of how busy it is the food and service remains of high standard. After 15 years in business (and I heard they just renewed their lease for another 15 years! Yeah!!!) the place is always packed with a divers fun crowd.

The staff is cordial and professional. Every time I recommend it to a friend, they fall in love, and bring more of their friends who themselves become addicted to Jubilee's food and ambience. The Mussels are a must of course. The Fish soup is one of the best in the world. The Lamb, the Steak Frites, the Stripped Bass, The Scallops, The Tuna Tartare, The Chocolat Molten Cake, The Cointreau Creme Brulee....I love it all and so it seems every table at Jubilee.

Especially in today's economy, you want to make sure you get your money's worth. Jubilee is the place for value (great food and price) and quality (great service and ambience)

Go and you will not regret it.

  • Pros: Best Food and Atmosphere
  • Cons: Landlord not keeping up with his building

Best French Bistro in NYC--for Real people

by dotsie1 at Citysearch

BEST mussels and frites in the world. Roasted chicken to die for. Oh and the frites....French comfort food in a homey environment. Always full with neighborhood denizens of "a certain age'".Conducive to long intimates chats with good friends over well-priced good wine. Nothing hip or trendy here...great food, great and attentive service and the evocative feeling of being around a large family of cousins, aunts and uncles who are mildly quirky and who you really like to see at the holidays.

  • Pros: Intimate, comfortable, neighborhood in-the-know, not hip
  • Cons: tight quarters, not trendy if that's your thing
