NOT SO HOT

by jd9053

VERY DISAPPOINTED, went here in the past and it was very good, went last night and it was a disaster. THe food took over an hour to come out, the portions where tiny, and the food was luke warm. They also charge midtown prices for a restaurant on 111 st. I probably won't be going back.

Best Lunch Stop...

by jaereagan

Last minute lunch stop...dining room was packed but outdoor tables were available and weather was mild, so bonus. Ordered the Chicken Skewer Salad and have to say it was the best salad I can remember ever having! Service was great to top it off, so I can't wait for a return trip into the city during lunch.

• Pros: servers,outdoor sitting

Seafoood always exceptional, great burger too. Great mixologist behind bar

by labatt46

Recommended by a friend in the neighb; have been coming there since early on. Fun to sit at bar + chat with regulars. Thoughtful wine list with good values. Friendly + knowledgeable staff.

Definitely worth a detour from outside the Columbia area. Coming from the eastside, the #4 bus drops me right in front; the 1/9 subway is down the block.

Best place to spend weeknight on the UWS!

by sfocox

We just moved to the neighborhood and have fallen in love with this restaurant! The steak frites are the best - and I am a french fry afficianado. crab cakes - to die for and the goat cheese souffle has been my summer staple along with the cedar smoked salmon. The bartender is my favorite! everytime I go, whether alone or with my husband, he introduces us to everyone else at the bar and before you know it, we are debating anything from dosdoyevsky to Thailand to martha stewart to Opus One. And if we are really lucky, the manager will open a bottle of wine from the reserve list for staff education and will let everyone try. It's a great place! Exactly what I want my neighborhood restaurant to be! Ps- take out is good too! great for when it is just too hot to go outside or cook.

• Pros: very friendly, very tasty
• Cons: not always enough seats at the bar

It has become my favorite NYC restaurant. Meals are fresh, delicious and interesting. Service is attentive and gracious. I look forward to visiting my son and the Bistro over the next three years.

• Pros: Wonderful food
• Cons: The location could be better

Great Meal

by bfc90

As an upper west sider, it's nice to be close to a restaurant as good and as pleasant as Bistro Ten 18. I've been there a couple of times and highly recommend the chicken. For dessert, the brownie sundae is about as good as it gets. I'll keep going back and hope that more good restaurants follow its lead and populate the upper west side.

• Pros: Food, location

Almost choked with all the fish bones

by newyorkspark

This restaurant looked so cute and they even gave out a complimentary tasting of wine, but the ambiance came to a quick end as I discovered numerous bones in the fish. Even the mussel appetizer was marginal and overcooked. Well at least the bread basket was nice.

• Pros: ambiance
• Cons: food
