The food is actually quite nice though, though the whole ambience is ripped off from Balthazar and Pastis (and not very well done.) ”

Very nice atmosphere AND you don't get ”
- “
Was a fun and tasty lunch overall. ”
- “
Nice atmosphere, didn't experience any snooty attitude as some raters have and the prices were very reasonable! ”

- “
However, the hot chocolate is ridiculous, and GET THE FOIS GRAS RISOTTO, shouldnt be an appetizer, its very filling! ”
- “
The steak and rack of lamb were tasty with generous portion sizes; likewise the crepes for dessert. ”
- “
And for a French place, the dessert was disappointing--we ordered black and white chocolate mousse with a biscuit crust or something like that. ”
- “
Peppercorn steak at that price is a great deal, not to mention five dollar beautiful desserts. ”

service, food and drinks all connected at the same time to give us the best experience ever. ”

The have a big wine selection, and their french snail for an appetizer is FANTASTIC, highly recommend it. ”

We did however, despite the server's COMPLETE ineptitude, mange to pick a decent wine out of the rather large list. ”
- “
Nice wine list. ”
- “
For the exhorbitant price, we received food that barely qualified as mediocre and seriously overpriced, small, watered-down drinks. ”

It's short sighted b/c a decent first drink will make you much more loose with your wallet and likely to order another one (or two). ”
- “
And the red wine sauce was superb. ”
- “
After ordering a couple of more drinks, we decided to order some food. ”
- “
The hanger steak with the Red wine sauce is one of my favorites. ”

The wine & beer lists are great & the menu is extensive so there is always something different to choose. ”

Le Monde has good food and ok service. ”

And when I called the other night to order a meal to go, the woman on the phone was short with me, told me I'd have to go there in person just to place the order then wait around for a half hour, then hung up on me. ”

was ready for ok at best food, but everyone enjoyed their food. ”
- “
Despite the poor service, the food is always delicious. ”
- “
mediocre food. ”
- “
It has been replaced with a meal even more sublime, a potatocake and salmon which was a perfect dish, potato pancakes beneath which make a great base for a display of the cut of salmon, so the salmon must be fresh and tasty. ”
- “
My friend had cold gazpacho which was said had a spicy kick. ”
- “
His risotto with sea bass was alright--the risotto was good but the fish was not as fresh as it could have been. ”

If we wanted a dry sausage in tomato paste we could have made it in the dumpster out back for a fraction of the price. ”

or maybe they've taken all the negative reviews to heart, but the service and food were excellent and I would recommend Le Monde to anyone in the area. ”

Delicious food and great environment ”
- “
Was a fun and tasty lunch overall. ”

For the exhorbitant price, we received food that barely qualified as mediocre and seriously overpriced, small, watered-down drinks. ”

If you want a scrumptious meal with hardly any attention from the wait staff, it's the perfect place for lunch and the occasional dinner. ”
- “
But, good French food, says the true New Yorker, it is NOT! ”
- “
am in the industry so am very picky about where i go & i have always had good food & service at Le Monde. ”

understands that some people got sick from some seafood, don't people realize that is is not always the restaurants fault! ”

Their ground beef is excellent, their burgers are succulent and full, an excellent burger for dine in or take out, tends to be on the rare side so adjust accordingly. ”

So when the waiter comes to check on dinner, i tell him that the dish is very tasty but that the chop were very fatty. ”

Bad service, RATS on the floor, bad food. ”

That fishy, rubbery, not very fresh sea bass. ”

After a dinner there with friends, the three of us who took seafood or fish were sick all night (sick meaning seriously sick). ”
- “
The food is actually quite nice though, though the whole ambience is ripped off from Balthazar and Pastis (and not very well done.) ”

The food is decent, but that's about it. ”

am suprised to read the other reviews because I really didn't think the food was overpriced for what it was, I see the reviews are from almost a year ago so maybe something has changed? ”
- “
I've only been here to this restaurant twice, the first, I had a smoked salmon sandwhich which was fairly good, but the service is less than to be desired. ”
