Great place

by nightwatchman

You rarely find places like this in NYC- good food, reasonably priced (fixed price menu before 8pm rocks), not loud or too crowded and decent service.

• Pros: inexpensive, good food, great atmosphere

La Jumelle

by robjom

This restaurant got very good reviews from this site. I was surprised how bad the food was. It all seemed old, like a few days. The duck leg I had I could not eat because it tasted rancid-like. I believe it was a better restaurant in the past. The french posters all over the restaurant are beautiful. It was cheap but I rather pay more for eatable food. My friend's beef stew also tasted very old. The same goes for the mussels.

• Pros: inexpensive, spacious, waiter and staff

A Great French Bistro!!!

by peixe_gato

This place was great! You can't beat the $19 prix fixe menu. You get to choose from ANYTHING on the menu and nothing is off limits! I tried the Crab Croquettes (delicious, and yes, the sauce IS hot) and the Salade Jumelle (a good, basic mesculen salad). For the entrees, I tried the Steak au poivre (very tender, though the sauce could use a touch more pepper), the scallops (delicate and delicious), and the Salmon (great flavor, interesting presentation, crispy on the outside, but juicy and flavorful on the inside). Warning, I ordered the steak Medium well and it came out Medium. It was still delicious though. For dessert, the poached pear with chocolate sauce was amazing (they used a very good chocolate) and the Mud cake was good, but heavy. If you love Bistro's, this place is for you!

• Pros: prix fixe, good food, good service

Why is it not mobbed?

by hst2384

They have a burger with fries and a salad for 6 dollars! All the food is excellent, and I can say that because I have tried 75% of the menu.

Go now.

Great value and service

by sarika20

I went recently and had a great experience. The Pre Fix dinner is the best deal ever, for $18. The food was delicious and our waiter was the extremely friendly! I highly recommend this place

Fantastique...

by food_critique

The best kept secret in NYC! Fantastic food, adorable waitstaff, down-to-earth atmosphere, at very reasonable prices. At $18 prix fixe, it's a wonder all of New York isn't there!
