BUTCHER SHOP, Yikes

by mlgrinda at Citysearch

I ordered some Bundnerfleisch for my Fondue party. The delivered viande de Grison was so bad looking, I was afraid to taste it. When I did (it smelled alright, so thought I could try), it was decent although didn't taste like the Swiss kind.

I couldn't fathom offering this nasty looking meat to my guests, so sent out for some Speck instead which definitely didn't do it...

But the Bundnerfleisch from Le Marais was all brown and flaky. Bundnerfleisch is dark with a pinkish tint, not brown tint and all in one rectangular slices, not flaky round saucisson style slices.

The butcher on the phone assured me he's the best home made bundnerfleisch in the city. It was one of the worst piece of meat I'd ever seen.

Don't come on a Saturday night

by kmilberg at Citysearch

Went to Dinner last night with a friend. The Asti sparkling wine we ordered was flat - and the the steak took almost an hour to be ready. It was cold when it reached us. When we complained to the waitress, she went to get one of the staff - who argued with us, saying the plate was warm Obviously, not the brightest bulb in the socket, because what does the fact that the plate being warm have to do with the steak being cold. Anyhow - we were so upset after she argued with us - that we were leaving and I went to see the Maitre'D. He at least gave me a steak - which I shouldn't have even tried to eat - and still charged us $55.14 for flat wine and an apptetizer and more stale cold steak.

I had Le Marais host a major event for me about 6 weeks ago - cost me $2700 and they did a nice job. Interestingly enough, when I mentioned this to the staff - they still didn't care. Anyhow - suffice to say, I will find another steak house. One that treats their Jewish patrons like they aren't doing them a favor by feeding them - which unfortunately too many Kosher establishments still do.

  • Pros: Nice events
  • Cons: Horrible service on Saturday night and cold steak

Le Marais: Horrible food!

Although the location of Le Marais is attractive (Theater District), the quality of food was unbelievably bad as it was cooked carelessly without paying attention to the spices. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant.

Best Kosher Steak In The City

by rachiemoo at Citysearch

I have been to Le Marais probably between 15-20 times. I absolutely adore the steak frites salad as well as the chocolate mousse. They have delicious appetizers and bread as well. I definitely recommend a reservation as they can get booked up, especially on Saturday evenings. The service can be hitt or miss. I recommend going at off times [during the week or for lunch] if you would like to receive better service. When it gets crowded it can take a while to get a waiter to come over to you or to receive your food. Request to sit upstairs, its a very romantic/quiet atmosphere and I prefer it over the downstairs area. To sum it up: the food is superb but you may have to put up with some below par service when it is crowded.

  • Pros: Delicious, high quality kosher food!
  • Cons: The service is not always up to par depending on how busy they get.
