What People Are Saying About Brasserie

In Short – A famed architectural redesign and a seasoned chef keep this striking spaceship-like restaurant on the radar. From the catwalk entrance to the showcase of arrivals on flat screens stretched above the bar--this spot was designed to see and be seen. The predominately male, dark suit-sporting clientele discuss raising funds in Dubai while munching on hearty lobster bisque, scallops with pork belly confit or classic burger with frites. The more intimate conversations occur in pod-like padded booths.

My Favorite French Restaurant..
by PJulie
This is one of my favorite French restaurants in New York. The restaurant is located in a beautiful location. The servers are nice and accommodating, I bet they did not get their training in France to be so nice. =) I have been to this restaurant a few times and have not had anything bad. It is safe to order anything. However, my favorite dishes are the Onion Soup Gratinee, the Roasted Organic Chicken . I do not know much about their dessert, as I am always too full after my appetizers and entree.
- Pros: everything
- Cons: none

Divine Cuisine; Exceptional Service; Chef Dimnet Exceeds Expectations;
by specialk10181
Brasserie is the ulimate dining hotspot -- exceptional fare, remarkable atmospheric flare and outstanding service. I consider myself a connoisseur of NYC dining, and I cannot express strongly enough how overwelming pleased I was with every aspect of Brasserie. It is a not-to-be missed dining destination for any occasion, including a romantic dinner date, business lunch or Sunday brunch. I even recommend it for occassions such as Mother's Day and Easter. They serve an amazing prix fix meal that trumps anything you'd get elsewhere. Complements to the chef! I'm confident that every one will agree that Brasserie is out of this world. In fact, this would be an understatement. You have not dined in NYC until you've tried this restaurant. My menu selects: escargots bourguignon, beet salad, long island duck, sea bass and chocolate beignets.
- Pros: ALL
- Cons: NONE

Good food, good service, dining room is a subterranean cavern.
by bill_ferns
The food and the service is all that everyone's review says it is. The restaurant, however is cavernous--it is down a flight from the street level, and had very high ceilings. It does not have the makings of a cozy dinner for two. But as long as that's not what you are looking for, go to Brasserie.
- Pros: Very good food
- Cons: Cavernous setting lacking warmth.
The Details on Brasserie
Where to Sit:
For a front row view of the action, the main dining room is the place. For quieter conversation, there's a less conspicious back room.
The Extras:
Carb-loading is unavoidable as a full Parisian baguette is delivered to ever table, uncut, with a sizable hunk of creamy French beurre.
Notable Chef:
Luc Dimnet
