Fancy for no reason

by LuckyCharm09

Yesterday me and my husband went there because of citysearch reviews and thier menu online. When we got there, we found out that they changed the entire menu and made the prices higher. Inspite of this, we ordered mussels and salmon entree. The mussels were okay, nothing special. But the salmon turned out to be horrible, we cook it at home much better even though we are not cooks. So what are they so priced up? To look just fancy?

• Pros: None
• Cons: Poor quality, high prices

Dreadful

by biggmakk64

May be the worst food I've ever had in NYC (tied with nearby Tartine). I don’t know where the rave reviews come from; perhaps there are two Philip Maries in the area and I just happened to have gone to the wrong one.

Food was bland, poorly prepared and over-priced. My Mediterranean sea bass had a muddy freshwater fish taste (my guess it was tilapia). The fish was uncooked in the middle and was covered in some type of brown sweet sauce - strange combination. I sent it back and got the salmon instead, which too was awful.

The duck breast was too lean and overcooked; tasted like rubber disks, again with an inappropriate sauce. The oysters Rockefeller were soggy with no flavor.

There are many good restaurants in the West Village. I advise you to avoid this one.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Food, food and food

Lovely setting and elegant food

by anitaL

Just came home from a great meal. We were a group of eight coming together from all over the world and we were all impressed with the preparation and beautiful presentation of the food here. The service was also friendly and attentive. Can't remember when I last had such an all-around good experience.

• Pros: beautiful presentation

Awesome Food!

by otoolemeredith162

I came here for dinner with my boyfriend on a Sunday and it was their Sunday night barbeque special. My boyfriend got the catfish with mac&cheese and greens and I tried some, it was delicious. I didn't do the BBQ deal, but I did get the Mediterranean Sea Bass which was, honestly, the best meal I've had all year. Will definitely be coming back, and would like to try their brunch.

Saturday Brunch

by ADorsey64

It may be a little crowded on Saturday's, but it's brunch in NYC, so you can't really ask for a quiet atmosphere. Other than the noise it was a great brunch. The food was amazing, and good portion sizes too. The service was great, our waitress was very nice, and checked up on us the perfect amount of times. And I never had to ask for more water or mimosa's, it was just always their. I'll make it a point to come here often for brunch in the city.

Romantic Restaurant, Great for Dates

by Scatone

Philip Marie is a wonderful restaurant in the West Village. The food is amazing and the chefs specialties are fantastic! The service was pretty good. Great place for a Romantic evening. I know I got my money's worth and I felt like i was treated more than fair. I will definitely be back here. They also do Brunch which I think we will check out next time.

• Pros: Food, Service, Look and Feel
• Cons: none

Perfect for couples

by Aria64

I went here with my boyfriend to enjoy a nice meal before walking around manhattan all night. The food was great, I had the artichoke stuffed chicken, and he had the special of the day: flatiron steak. Both dishes were great, and then we shared the pumpkin fritters..even more delicious. It is now are favorite place to go out for dinner whenever we are in manhattan

• Pros: intimate atmosphere, food

Delicious Food & Romantic Atmosphere

by SHearn

I brought my girlfriend here on a Brunch date and it was fantastic! They had outdoor seating and on top of the brunch being one of the best i've had in a long time it came with unlimited bloody marys. The server was funny and nice and checked on us the perfect amount of times (which is surprisingly rare). We stayed for drinks after eating and almost considered staying for their BBQ the same day (I guess it is every sun) but we had full satisfied stomachs so we will be trying that in the next couple of weeks. Thanks Philip Marie.

• Pros: Great dining experience all around
• Cons: None to write about

Horrible!

by nycmusakman1114

I went here for lunch today . The restaurant was not crowded yet we had the worst experience imaginable.

1st i was told the Coca Cola soda gun was not working. then the waitress could not figure out who ordered what and could not understand English. She would put plates down and then take away. just to come back minutes later with the same burgers. a few folks were served and finished before the rest of us were even served.

I finally received my burger well after everyone else were done eating and it was raw. not rare but raw although i ordered Medium. one meal never even made it out until 20 minutes after we were all done eating and had to remind the waiter it was ordered.

This place was horrible. I would stay away.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Everything.

Wonderful Village Restaurant

by ElClarke

I recently went to Philip Marie and found out their special of the day was a four course wine tasting. My party (a little reluctant at first not knowing how the portions would be) finally decided to do it. It was amazing! It included wild boar ravioli and a roasted leg of lamb that were absolutely delicious. And though i don't know that much about wines i loved the whole process of tasting while they describe them. The atmosphere was cozy and we all had a great time.
