Excellent Classic French Bistro Cuisine

by MAMO

If you are occasionally nostalgic for the days when there was no such thing as fusion cuisine, as I am, this is the place for you. We had an excellent meal of their specialty, duck, and soft-shelled crab. We had a charming and efficient young French waitress. But I specifically want to mention the kindness of Madame who held our reservation on a Saturday night, when we called and explained that we had been sitting in traffic at the George Washington Bridge for over an hour. It had been such an awful day that I almost teared up when she said that she would hold our table until we arrived, whenever that was. I haven't lived in New York for many years, but she made me love it all over again!

• Pros:  value and quality of food, warm, pleasant atmosphere

Warm staff. simple but well-executed country French cuisine.

by asommelier

A friend introduced my husband and I to this place and I've always had consistently good food and service here. They even sold me on the pate which is delicious( I am not usually very fond of pate). The wine list is very good as well. It is a great warm, relaxed and informal place to take family and friends. The restaurant is good for large groups as they have upstairs seating.

• Pros: Tasty Cuisine and great service

The real french cuisine

by henryg44

This place is very low key, I have walked by it countless times without noticing it, but once you eat there that all changes- you remember the place for good.

This is a real french place where the staff is French. The food is excellent and the wine selection even greater. The price is very right for what you get.

The ambiance is quite unique and the place gets crowded earlier, because of the elderly clientel that attends the restaurant. Everyone has a place in the restaurant and you can find seeting just right for you.

• Pros: food and wine, service, authenticity

Very french...

by punky21

The food at La Mirabelle is excellent but the atmosphere made me uncomfortable. It is a bit stuffy and pretentious. Many of the diners were very formally dressed, while the restaurant looks and feels like someone's extra-large living room. The waitress took forever to bring us our cheque...

For those who like this scene, go ahead. Otherwise, don't bother.
