First time dining at Le Rivage. I chose this place based on watching Chef Paul banter with Chef Brian on their YT podcast. I like his no-nonsense approach to food:traditional yet making it fun. I was not disappointed. I ordered the Steak Tartare, the duck or Canard A La Orange, and the Pear A La Beaujolaise from the 3 course Dinner Prix Fixe menu. My dinner companion had the Seafood Crepe, French Onion Soup Burger, and the Chocolate Molten Cake. Everything was so good! Too bad I have to wait until my next NY trip to be able to eat here again. Complements also to our server Nicole for her excellent service. She took very good care of us. Old world, rustic ambiance. Price? Cant put a price on such a great experience. Definitely recommend.

New York City’s timeless French Bistro!The delightful confident, old world charming service combined with delicious food makes for a winning combination at Le Rivage. From the low arched entranceway into the main dining room to its cozy paneled walls with fine paintings, soft lights, and the petite green lamps on each table there is a dedicated ambiance of laid back comfort akin to visiting your favorite, understated, rich uncle who happens to be a masterful chef!We dined after seeing a musical (Sunset Blvd), arriving early for our 7p reservation. Our host welcomed us to the bar to wait and then surprised us, when, not even halfway through our cocktails, he had us seated at a corner table where we had a magnificent view of the entire room and the full house of contented patrons.Our waiter Sunny was impeccable. His quiet attentiveness and friendly manner made the evening all the more delightful. Helping him was the kindly and gentle Aristoe.Roasted Chestnut Soup. What bliss. It is hard to place the taste of chestnut for it is not a common nut and rarely makes a showcase of its own as a soup. Yet the flavor is there: distinct and finely nuanced: earth and wood and the slightest hint of smoke from the roaring pan. The cream and butter adding such a perfect foil to the tongue. There is a surprising garnish of minutely diced fresh apple, tart and sweet and the salty… almost caperesque flavor of crispy lentils….the olive oil tasted infused with some herb… was it basil, perhaps? You just want to eat it slowly. Savoring every bite. You tell yourself that is what you are going to do. You mean well, but it is just too damn delicious and you find your bowl empty and stare at it forlornly and wonder, quite bereft, if perhaps, just this once, you could lick the bowl. Note to self: you can’t.Le Rivage cocktail. Just the right amount of pucker. It acted as the perfect sorbet between courses.The fries. (side to the French Soup Burger) These are, without a doubt, the most perfect French Fries I have ever eaten, which sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. Chef, the fries outshone your delightful, award-winning French Soup Burger. That was an expected luxury: those perfect fries. Fries that tasted sublime when served hot and still held up as delicious once they had cooled down. Who makes fries like that? Chef Danamiel and his cheerful kitchen staff do.Crème Brûlée. Firm crack of right-on-the-edge of burnt caramelized sugar… just the right hint of bitter molasses to make your tongue giddy. Custard: smooth and not overly sweet.. a steady, stable pairing, reminiscent of a good kiss.Le Rivage Apertif. Dark rum, orange peel, ginger, allspice… other parts magic. A truly fine finish to an excellent meal.The room was full of bright conviviality. If you live in NYC, this is a cozy spot where they will welcome you and remember your name. If you are a traveler and want something not to be found: this is a treasure.My only suggestion for improvement would be to update the bathrooms. They are clean and serviceable. They simply do not match the ambiance of the rest of this lovely dining establishment. It is the mildest of critiques indeed. Thank you, Chef and Staff, for a lovely experience at Le Rivage!

A little bit disappointed in the famous burger, and the Coq Au Vin portion was small with watered down sauce. Celery root soup with pomegranates was sublime. Service was good. Ambience good.

Absolutely love this old world gem! Eating at Le Rivage is like going back in time to an extraordinary place. The service and food is superb, dinned there Tuesday night with my wife, from the very polished gracious host Tommy to our excellent waiter Diego the evening was spectacular. Classic dishes with such refinement, thank you for a fantastic date night.

Charming genuine French restaurant. Perfect after the theater on restaurant row! Excellent food. White tablecloths are a treat! The pate was excellent. Cod and trout were fabulous. A great wait staff. Very welcoming. We will be coming back.

We dined at Le Rivage for my wife’s birthday. The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff was attentive and beautifully anticipated needs, the food reasonably priced and delicious, and the overall event very special.

The food was AMAZING! The best onion soup, hangar steak and creme brûlée! The server was extraordinary and so friendly. I highly recommend. Thank you for an incredible night in NYC!

We had our best meal in NY at this restaurant. Since it was right before the show the menu Prix Fixe which was not a problem for us. We started with the escargot, romaine Cesar and seafood crepe. The crepe was the most delicious item. For an entree we had the BOURGUIGNON, the North Atlantic Salmon and the award winning French onion soup burger. Our favorite entree was the Bourguignon. For dessert we had the molten lava cake, NY cheesecake and crème brûlée. Our only disappointment was that the creme brulee was not set and was too liquidy. The winner was the cheesecake. We would come back for a special occasion as it was pricey.

Delicious escargots and I keep wanting to go back to that onion soup burger! Those fries and ketchup were very good too. Service is great and so is the food. This restaurant has been there for ages, which explains why the place seems a little old. It still serves yummy food and I recommend it. They have executive pre-fixed menus.

We all ordered the french onion soup burger. It’s my friend’s favorite burger. But the other 2 of us thought it was under seasoned. The onions were sweet, the cheese was sweet, it needed something salty to cut through all this. Also, I’d prefer brioche or the Australian style roll to the English muffin. But burger itself was cooked nicely. Creme caramel was good. Bread pudding was ok. I’d skip the chocolate mousse. Nice decor and good staff

Very popular Italian restaurant!! You definitely need a reservation. We were there on a fabulous weather night and sat outside. Other than a lot of idling and slow-moving cars on the street, it was really nice. Service was very good for how busy it was. My pork chop was a little overcooked and tough, but tasty otherwise. If you are going to a Broadway show, this restaurant is very accommodating, and they ask up front about your timing.

Organized a large party at Le Rivage recently and it was an amazing experience.Klaas was not only incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning and initial conversations, but the dinner itself was so enjoyable. The food was delicious, service was great (thanks Diego!), and our guests seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.I dont live in NY, but cant wait to go back to just have a regular dinner at Le Rivage, and if you are looking to host an event - whether a company dinner or even a wine night, I would highly recommend.Thank you so much, Klaas!

Walked by this place and a woman convinced us to eat here with live music. We had the mushroom risotto and it was delicious. We also had the baked seafood crepe which the sauce was decadent. Lastly we are the seated north Atlantic Salmon which was cooked to perfection and was tasty. Definitely a place to revisit!

Came here for the snails then got recommendations for their well-known French onion soup burger. It’s a new concept to me, but turns out the BEST burger I’ve ever had so far!! The burger won some awards for its unique flavor and definitely worth trying. Don’t forget the chewy snails and fresh mussels if you still have room for more.

Review 15 (2023-09-19 - Rating: 5)
My husband and I definitely enjoyed this place. The service was superb and servers and staff were very attentive. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and just what youd want for an intimate French restaurant experience. Food was excellent. John had the Beef Bourguignon which he found outstanding. I have the Coq Au Vin which was very good. I apologize that I forgot to take pictures of the food. Our only disappointment was in the size of the deserts (Cheesecake and bread pudding). They were tasty, but VERY small. However, that really didnt diminish our great experience.

Review 16 (2024-07-14 - Rating: 5)
My partner and I stumbled into this gorgeous restaurant after a very hot morning walking through the city. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and staff. We were the only two in the restaurant at the time so it felt very intimate and inviting. Diego our server was very attentive, asked about our plans for the day and even gave us some directions to where we were headed next. We had the lunch special menu for French Restaurant Week, the Seafood Bisque was phenomenal. I highly highly recommend the Creme Brulee for dessert, probably the best Ive ever had. Definitely made a great memory for myself and my partner.

I recently dined at Le Rivage for my birthday and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the food exquisite. From classic dishes to innovative creations, each bite was a delight. I highly recommend Le Rivage for an unforgettable French dining experience. You wont be disappointed.

A cozy, romantic place to take a date. In our case, one of my fiancés clients treated us to dinner to celebrate our recent engagement. Service was good. Waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.As for me, I started off with a glass of cabernet and escargot. This was only my second experience with escargot. This time, it was served shelless inside this little cast-iron-looking pan filled with circular indentations (made for easier picking). For the main course, I chose the French Onion Soup Burger. Yes, yes. I had a hamburger at a French restaurant. But I couldnt help myself. It just sounded so weird. I was expecting the burger to be a soggy mess, but it was actually quite clean and tasty. Dessert was French vanilla ice cream (but of course!)Ambience was nice. Not overly-loud, and they have live music every night. Like I said, great place for a romantic evening.Looking forward to coming back on a Wednesday to try their frog legs.

This place is simply beautiful. The Food is top notch. Flavor flavor flavor. Did the $33 prix fix meal. Clams were baked to perfection crisp and fresh. The french onion soup burger as advertised and an award winner was exactly that. One of the best burgers I have had. The chicken cordon bleu tasted light and not too fried and oily which made it even better than the usual. Dessert was delicious not too sweet the raspberry bread cake and creme caramel aaaaare just right to finish off.

What a dinner we had at Le Rivage! Everything about this restaurant was of perfection! They had a live performance too which was super good. My friend had the duck (as in the video) and I had the boneless short ribs. Short ribs were super tender and flavorful and I loved the sauce that came with it. Will definitely revisit and try some other dishes!!

Review 22 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)
BEAUTIFUL and classic French restaurant. Staff VERY attentive and professional and welcoming. Our Duck lorange was superb. And the beef bourguignon was excellent. All the perfect flavor notes hit on both. Highly recommend

Solid French restaurant close to theaters with a fixed price menu. The pork chop was outstanding!! The kir Royale was excellent, creme Brule and bread pudding so good. Beef Burgandy, escargot, seafood crepes...all excellent!

The settings of the restaurant were very cozy and intimate. Its a perfect place to have a romantic candle light restaurant date.The food was the star of the show. This is a place with classic french dishes that is not afraid and unapologetic about adding enough salt and spices for flavor and taste.Will be back if Im in the area again.

Review 27 (2023-02-11 - Rating: 5)
This is old school French done 100% proper! A Restaurant Row destination, cozy and family ran. I enjoyed the Pâté, and the Calves Liver. You can all also find other classics like escargot, Coq au Vin, also great burgers and seafood. I hear the French Onion Soup burger is excellent, and thats my next dish here.Go support this wonderful restaurant, places like this are becoming fewer and fewer. This is the culmination of NYCs global culture.

Cozy little French restaurant. Excellent service and friendly staff. The leak appetizer was a lovely combination of luscious caper creaminess, tender leak hearts, and crunchy Roasted Pistachios. The main was a perfectly cooked crispy skinned trout with scrumptious wine and almond sauce. Wine pairing with a crisp stone fruit Sav blanc from Loire France.

Such a wonderful place to step away from the hustle and bustle of this mid-town area. Lower lights and light music make it very welcoming and a great place to sit and converse. Service was excellent. 5 stars on that. Appetizers were delicious and the entrees superb. Dessert less so and that took a star off the rating.

Amazing restaurant. We didnt even have reservations and were served with the utmost attention and care. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was so cozy and nice and there was live music when we were there. There were celebrities sitting at the table next to us. Again we simply walked in and were seated at arguably the best table in the place, right in front of the band. The potatoes and leek soup was the most delicious soup I ever had, and my steak-frites was cooked perfectly and served with an amazing sauce. The chocolate mousse was excellent as well. This was all at a very reasonable price as well. This will be a required stop every time I am in the city. The whole experience was perfection. The waiter was patient and highly professional in giving recommendations and attention to our needs.

The restaurant was great. The bisque was delicious. For the main course, the pork chop was juicy and cooked perfectly. We did the pre movie menu but didnt have time for our dessert. The wait staff let us come back after the show. We went back and the peach melba was awesome.

Great spot for a pre show dinner. They have a nice 3 course pre-fixe dinner option for $43. Recommend the escargot and seafood bisque appetizers.

Review 49 (2023-12-17 - Rating: 5)
If you’re looking for a quaint French restaurant, I recommend Le Rivage. A few blocks away from the busiest part of the city, helps this “family owned feeling” restaurant feel a bit quieter than its surroundings. Highly recommend the French onion burger! We were a bit apprehensive to skip something more traditional, but after reading its menu description, opted to give it a shot. While the steak frites were also very good, the burger was the star of our night. We also tried the baked clams and the escargot (which left a garlicky taste in our mouths for the rest of the night, so consider that if this is a date night selection). It was not the best we’ve had so, while it was good, considering lasting taste (and smell on our breath) we’ll take a pass on these next time. We’ll definitely come back here in the future.

Review 50 (2024-04-29 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely wonderful. We had to fit dinner between two Broadway shows and the staff was incredibly attentive to this schedule. First, they proactively reached out by phone the day before to ask if we happened to be heading to a show and if we had any time constraints. That was very thoughtful. Second, while at the restaurant the staff was excellent in their ability to take our orders quickly and keep things moving without making us feel rushed. I happen to own a restaurant and I know that this is not an easy task to accomplish. They executed perfectly. As always, the meal was delicious and my guests who were visiting me in NYC were charmed and delighted. Merci et à bientôt.

Visiting from Michigan where French food is scarce. So finding Le Rivage was an excellent find!We started with Moules Farcies, baked stuffed mussels. The perfectly cooked mussels and stuffing coupled with the recommended Bordeaux was excellent.I recall seeing, on a cooking show, a review of the French Onion Soup Burger and all the awards it won in NYC. Yes, it deserved all the accolades the creation of Chief Paul received. Its a hamburger at a totally different level. The Coq Au Vin we also ordered was superior to the Coq Au Vin I had in Paris. The dinner was enhanced with the creme brûlée and chocolate mousse.Before our flight we had the french soup which was excellent.The service was special and made you feel welcomed.A great find indeed!

Review 52 (2024-06-21 - Rating: 5)
Le Rivage was great. The beef bourguignon was our favorite and we also liked the gambas Le Rivage. We asked the waiter for chartreuse at the end and they had it, but it wasn’t on the menu. They had some singers that played the piano and sung and they were having a great time. The service was great too. I really like when places have an app, entree, and dessert combo and Le Rivage had a great one!

We loved this place! Diego was a top notch server. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was worth our wait. All of the food was delicious and they were all big portions. We had the dinner pre fixed menu. We had the pork chops which were unbelievably tender, the steak frites, seafood bisque and French onion soup. We will definitely be back here!

Review 58 (2018-12-03 - Rating: 5)
I had the French Onion burger. Ive eaten many burgers, MANY burgers. Without thinking I know its easily in my top 5 burgers of all time, probably top 3. I paused for a moment to contemplate my burger history and its definitely top 3.Anyway moving on. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. (Side note if you eat a burger cooked any more than med-rare, youre a filthy animal.) It was served on an English muffin which I think is becoming over done, but it works very well for this particular burger. There are two types of cheese on this burger, the first is fried like a flat mozzarella stick, the second is so gooey its bordering on being a sauce. The onions, oh the onions! Im not a huge fan of onions, as Ive gotten older though Ive come to tolerate them, usually Ill slide most of them off, leaving a few behind and go about eating my burger. Not with this burger, I took a first bite with the proportion of onions as they were given to me and Im glad that I did. They onions were perfectly cooked, sauteed into a caramelized onion delight. Ive never written so much about onions in my life. But thats not all, after all that deliciousness that is packed into the burger, you think there cant possibly be any more... but then broth from the French onion soup is poured on to the burger. Magnificent.

This place is one of my favorites in the whole city. The food is delicious and the staff is lovely. They have a fabulous pre fix menu that I was sad to see change for the summer.

Seems like a cliche tourist spot but it’s actually very good and the English muffin burger is worth every award it got. It makes it into my top 20 dishes in the city.

Words cannot express just how phenomenal of an experience the staff at Le Rivage gave myself and my partner on our anniversary; especially as two people who have anxieties around food and eating out in particular.The atmosphere and decor are nothing short of beautiful and welcoming, almost akin to a loving family home. The food was absolutely impeccable and the wine (I had the Malbec, highly recommended), was simply put: divine.I could be here for hours gushing about how lovely the place but that in itself would be a disservice. Go and visit to see for yourself. And get the chocolate molten cake too - that was amazing also.The only negative would be that it’s now set our standards incredibly high, which is especially problematic seeing as we’re from the UK 😂

We very much enjoyed our lunch. The Fixed Price Menu is a very good value. The baked seafood crepe, calf liver, and beet salad were excellent! My husband also LOVED the chocolate mousse. Our friend requested French, and this was the right place. Classic food. Cozy atmosphere. Unpretentious. Attentive service. I believe the owner is generally on site.

This cute little restaurant was hidden among several other theater district eateries, we almost walked by it but I am so glad we didnt. Proximity to the theaters was great, the staff was super considerate of show times and would make suggestions based on how much time you had.The food was amazing. We had the endive salad and seafood bisque to start. The bisque had a deeply developed flavor, the salad was light and refreshing. Then we had steak frites and the calf liver. The steak reduction was great to dip fries into. The liver was out of this world, and came with caramelized onions, brussel sprouts, and a potato puree; the kitchen clearly knows what theyre doing. For dessert we had creme brulee and the creme caramel as I cant resist a custard based dessert. We did the lunch prix fix menu. So that includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert for about $50. All told, it was a great deal. Drinks were not included as part of the prix fix but were also really interesting and paired well with the menu. I cant wait to go back.

Went for dinner after seeing Moulin Rouge on Broadway. Cool atmosphere, great service, and delicious food! The French Onion soup and Mussels Marinere were so good. I also had a wonderful birthday serenade from the servers who brought out my creme brulee with a birthday candle!

Located on Restaurant Row, down the block from where we saw a show. We had the $60 Prefix dinner which overall was good. I had the seafood crepe with shrimp and scallops. Very tasty. Wife had the baked muscles which were good but several had some sand in them. I had the excellent French Onion Soup burger. My wife had the Rainbow trout which was not that good. Overcooked, dry and fishy tasting. For dessert, I had the bread pudding, very good but very sweet. My wife had the creme brulee but not properly torched on top. Great service and fast presentation. It was overall good.

I’ve been here 15 year ago, left for Australia for 10 years and went back this week and it’s still how I remember. The menu has changed of course but still the same staples of French onion soup and butter, bone marrow and escargot. Actually the best, even better than Paris and I can say that coz I went last month and this food is superb. Hands down will always come back when I need a slice of Paris again.

Food was excellent; the prix fixe lunch menu is incredibly priced for the quality and portions! The staff was professional and kind. The hostess was so sweet, friendly and attentive. Recommend the Escargots, Moules, Trout Almandine, Frisbee aux Lardons, and French onion soup!

Great French restaurant. I wanted to try Escagort, and it succeeded my expectations. We had the prix fixe menu, which was an excellent choice. If you are catching a Broadway show, this restaurant is close to the theater. Great service! You would be better off making a reservation. Otherwise, you might have a long wait.

Review 83 (2023-04-30 - Rating: 4)
Honestly, honestly. Good service firstly, because my husband and I went to see a show on broadway after the dinner so the staff made sure our food was finished quicker so we’d make our show.The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and welcoming I must say.Now the food was okay. I’ve tried French cuisine before— exquisite. However this restaurant was very mediocre from the appetizer to the dessert. I wasn’t sure if it was this way because they were rushing on our meal, but I do feel if the food would taste this way the pricing should be cheaper.Other than that, had a fine time. P.S. if you order from there, do not order the rainbow trout. It’s really not good. I don’t know why they recommended it to me.

Whether you live in NYC or are there for a visit, Le Rivage is a MUST EAT HERE restaurant. Weve been going for years and it is our go-to when we have theatre tickets. The staff works as a team, and manages to never rush you, even if you are in the rush! This last trip was in early Oct 2024 and there were six of us. We celebrated a birthday and the entire staff came to sing! If you are fortunate to be there when Burhan is working, he will take extra special care of you just as he did for us! Reservations strongly recommended. ENJOY!

What can be better on a rainy day than the warm peace of France in the middle of Manhattan? Add to it delicious food and excellent service. Thank you, “Le Rivage,” for making my day a little nicer. I especially want to thank my waiter Jose. Your kind service was definitely one of the best I have ever had.

Review 91 (2023-03-17 - Rating: 4)
Le Rivage is the kind of restaurant I really enjoy, with old school French dishes (escargot! duck a lorange, bouef bourgingon) and nice burgundies, served by an attentive staff. It has been in this location for a long time, and the space feels lived in, in a good way. Live jazz most nights. Lots of charm.I nearly rated Le Rivage 5 stars because it was so pleasant and classic, but, if Im being honest, the cuisine was just short of expectations. Very good salad frisee, but the bone marrow came with some surprisingly flavorless topping, the cordon blue was more like a chicken saltimbocca (that is, not butterflied and stuffed, but topped with ham & cheese), and the creme brulees glaze was soft, rather than glass like. Maybe Im being nit-picky. Still really liked the establishment and will be coming back.

Looks like an out of the way place but once you go inside is very spacious and the atmosphere is wonderful. The service was amazing as well with staff members being extremely attentive and quick with any help you needed or just refilling drinks or bringing more complimentary bread to the table. The food itself was fantastic and flavorful, I had gotten their salmon dish and compared to other places I have tried it from, Le Rivage was head and shoulders above the competition. The seasonings, the garnish, and the presentation were really top of the line. I left there more than happy with what I had experienced and can’t wait to go back to try their most famous dish, the French onion soup burger, next time I’m able to return to their restaurant.

Food was excellent. Mussels appetizer was perfect. Braised beef was flavorful, soft to touch and a nice size portion.The jazz band playing was great. The band played well and you could still have a conversation.The waiter was professional, personable and friendly. The dessert menu was extensive. The creme brulee was very good.We did theater prixe fixe menu, great choices at a very reasonable price.Try the house spiced rum, a nice end to a meal.

Amazing value for their food. Mussels for appetizer was amazing, their vegetarian soup for appetizer wasnt anything super special and memorable but still good. Their entrees are freakishly good. I had the french onion soup burger which was out of this world and also tried their rib eye which was super juicy and good. Their desserts are also A1. The staff are very friendly and the overall vibe is ambient and very warm.

Review 100 (2024-09-06 - Rating: 5)
Delicate interior decor of oil paintings and string lights that gives a warm and comfortable vibe. First impression, a traditional french bistro. Surprisingly, therere some specials on the menu that you wont find them in other places, roasted duck flavored with orange sauce and flamed by alcohol, savory crepe with creamy and fresh seafood inside. Also need to try their daily fruit tarts. Overall, its an affordable place and the taste was not salty or greasy.

Very nice French, romantic place with a live jazz band. Ideal for the date. It has classical French cuisine menu. It was quite tasty, but the reason I gave only 4 stars is that 3 out 4 courses that I have ordered came barely warm. I guess it is problem of the kitchen as the place was quiet busy. They also have outside seating.

Our reviews had over 36 million reviews last year. We really loved Le Rivage. We had a great time with great food and a wonderful atmosphere we went on a Thursday night about 630 for a pre-theater dinner and they have a price fix option which is wonderful it includes an appetizer and entrée and dessert for appetizer I had the frog legs which I’ve never had before but they were excellent and they even brought out some additional sauce so I could put it on my bread which was excellent she had the muscles which are Cooked in garlic butter French herbs and breadcrumbs on top with a nice crispy crunch which she really enjoyed for entrée we both had the famous French onion soup burger which is one several words and is worth every bite it is a lot of food and could easily be split so I would recommend the next time I go is to split a French onion soup burger and get one additional main course perhaps the steak up Whataburger or steak fritz etc. for dessert she had the peach melba Sunday which she loved so much she would not share it with me I had the famous bread pudding which in the photographs is the yellow square with brown lines on it of chocolate it is fantastic and so good that I actually were a second one lol we both enjoyed the coffee Americano very strong and very delicious we highly recommend this place and will be going back again often. The music started at 7 PM and was absolutely lovely with a piano and a female singer singing in both French and English the room is very romantic with a lot of French paintings and the staff is wonderful we were not rushed but they asked us what time you wanted to leave to make sure that they can get everything done on time and it was a wonderful experience. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like.

The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and combined with the atmosphere it brought me back to my trips to France. The frog legs were a delicious way to start our meal. They are just like chicken wings but with a slight flakey white fish texture. The duck was amazing and perfectly finished with the orange sauce. My wife enjoyed the cordon blue which was prepared in layers which was different than her experience in the States. She has not been to France physically but with the meal she was transported there. We finished the meal with the most amazing bread pudding we have had.

Review 131 (2023-03-25 - Rating: 4)
This is a very decent place for your pre-post show meal. Their prix fixe menu offers a broad cross-section of popular French dishes and desserts, and, to its credit, it does take off the edge of a difficulty to choose something. The service is pretty quick. The staff are mostly French, very polite and welcoming. The lighting, oil paintings and wooded accents add nicely to the atmosphere in the style of the French province, and is quite intimate and cozy. The only reason why I wouldnt give this place 5 stars is that the quality of food preparation leaves some room for improvement. Some of the same dishes I tried in France for a small fraction of the cost at Le Rivage were significantly tastier and prepared with more enthusiasm and improvisation. But given everything else, this is but nitpicking. I hence would recommend this restaurant.

After spending a month in France back in June we were in the mood for authentic French cuisine while in NYC. And we found it!!! Le Rivage exceeded our expectations. Diego was a fantastic server and all employees there were friendly and helpful. Not always the case in NYC. We had the Coq Au Vin and the Beef Bourguignon and they were both perfect. We’ve eaten on that street so many times and didn’t even know this fabulous restaurant was right in front of us. A must pick.

Le Rivage, nestled along New York City’s iconic Restaurant Row, creates a cozy, French countryside ambiance where classic French dishes are thoughtfully prepared. The menu showcases traditional options like escargot, steak frites, and coq au vin, each crafted with authentic flavors that impress.While the dining area is close-knit with tables set closely together, the attentive service truly enhances the experience. Notably, the staff thoughtfully checks if guests have plans to see a show, pacing the meal accordingly to ensure timely service for theatergoers.For those who appreciate authentic French cuisine in the heart of the theater district, Le Rivage is a delightful choice.

This cozy French restaurant never fails to disappoint us when we need a delicious dinner before a show. Their Pre-fixe menu is great, and if you come later (after the theater rush) you can get a nice meal for a good price. The chef always comes out to greet the guests, and the food is always delicious. I always recommend Le Rivage to Broadway show-goers. They also work very efficiently to get you out in time for your show - otherwise ust let them know and they dont rush you.

The food at Le Rivage was amazing! We’ve tried Escargots and baked Mussels as appetizers. The escargot tasted flavorful and Mussel was very fresh. The waiter recommended their most popular dishes for Entrees. One was French Onion Soup Burger and other was Boeuf Bourguignon. He said the burger is one of the best in NYC and he was right! The meat in the burger was juicy and it definitely tasted like French Onion soup. We were so addicted to it! The Boeuf was a boneless Short Rib Braised in Burgundy Wine, Egg Noodles, carrot and Mushroom. The short rib tasted so delicious with red wine. We also had room for dessert. My favorite desserts were the Bread Pudding and chocolate Mousse. The pudding was the right sweetness and did not disappoint. The chocolate mousse was so rich and you could really taste the chocolate. I would love to bring my friends to this restaurant for them to experience the wonderful flavors of France.

This week is the first week of restaurant week in NYC, and Le Rivage is one of the participating restaurants. Their RW dinner menu is $60, the same price with their dinner prix fixe menu, but the prix fixe one has more options, though not including all the options in RW menu. The food overall was delicious! My favorite was the escagorts. The french onion soup burger was pretty interesting, very new. The least favorite dish for me would be the chocolate molten cake as I was expecting some melted chocolate filling but didnt get it. They have live piano performance late at night; pretty nice vibe in general. Very good service as well!

The creme caramel (French style flan) was a delicious dessert! Nothing but great things to say! 😍😍

The best set of words that come to mind are hidden gem. In that, among Manhattan bistros, this is one of the best and yet it should be impossible to make a reservation. Steak frites, beef bourguignon, French onion soup, and the mussels were some of the best I’ve had in the city.

I am so glad I did. Both him and I haven’t eaten as much as we did in a very long time but every time we got a course, we loved it so much we ordered more and more things off the menu. We started by splitting a French onion soup Burger (DO NOT PASS ON THIS) and we were off to the races! Escargot, mussels, beef bourguignon, a lamb shank special that was absolutely DIVINE. The staff were super friendly and our waiter even told us about a secret menu hack! ( Next time you get fries ask for a side of au pouvre sauce and pour it on like gravy on Disco fries… what can I say except, You’re Welcome!) We are so looking forward to the next time we will be in the city to make this our new French Dining spot!

Quaint, authentic French restaurant. Celebrate special events here. Price fixte is nice. Wait staff very attentive.
