Augustine

Went to try the Cheese soufflé and steak tartare. Both were delicious. Also had a great salad. Wine selection was lovely and dessert was amazing. Sat at the bar and bartender was attentive and friendly. Overall a great place for some upscale food. Atmosphere was surprisingly casual however. Went back for brunch. 11/2/19 Delicious food. Amazing bartender. Definitely recommend if you want a great food experience and top notch service.

Expensive restaurant with French food. Brunch was good for the starters and deserts. They also had a very good coffee. The place is connected to another lobby restaurant of the hotel. The personnel is very nice and helpful.

Curiously enough, even though we have stayed at the Beekman Thompson hotel twice (the restaurant is located in the hotel's ground floor), we have never dined at Augustine before. Upon learning that Markus Glocker, the illustrious Michelin-star Chef of Bâtard Tribeca took the reins of Augustine, we felt we couldn't procrastinate any longer. And a right decision it was! Great delicious food, expertly prepared and appetizingly plated. Such a great balance of the traditional French fare, bistro style, served in a typical Belle Epoque brasserie interior, and a modern twist, newer and surprising ingredients, with the addition of the Chef's native Austrian staple dishes (Beef Goulash with buttermilk spätzle, chicken dumplings, veal schnitzel, or the Viennese wedding soup) - all of the above combined to create an entirely positive dining experience. What a delight! The lovable service provided by Katya, the affordable prices (a true epitome of "rapport qualité prix"), and a nice wine list all were an added perk. We already booked our second dinner there, in less than a month. Highly recommended.

We ordered 3 things off the menu: chicken and duck mouse, the Augustine burger, the Augustine Flammkuchen. The ambience in the restaurant is great, it's calm, slightly upscale, and relaxing with an slight upbeat vibe. The service here is excellent because it's attentive and constant author being overwhelming. Today we had the pleasure of having Fay service and she was tremendous. This review is solely based on the food but they got 2 stars because Fay was excellent otherwise I'd give it 0 or 1. The mouse was so incredible because it was sweet and creamy, but also had a little subtle salt. The brioche bread that accompanied it was really tasty. The entrees were mediocre and bad respectively. My girlfriend thought the Flammkuchen was good I thought it was average because the taste was good and the added bacon was a good texture and flavorful, but the bread was over done. The last piece which really cause the drop of all Stars on this rating was the burger. A medium rare burger with added egg and bacon. The bacon tasted dry and like it was made a few days ago along with being cold. The egg was over easy and runny, but came well done with a hint of yolk. The burger was supposed to be medium rare, but came well done, blackened on the top and bottom with a charred taste, and cooked to dry hell. Overall I think based on the service and the mouse I'll try it once more and if the food ends up being excellent then I'll adjust my rating appropriately.

Breakfast was amazing. Good options, decent prices (for breakfast). Had the Augustine Benedict, it was great. Sometimes you order a benedict and a restaurant gives you a butter knife. If your lucky they give you some dull serrated knife. Augustine gives you an amazing super sharp knife that cuts through the eggs, meat, and muffin easily. Such a small detail makes the meal so much more enjoyable. I'm excited to go back for lunch and dinner!

Great restaurant. I expected an overpriced mean, and I was ready for it, but the prices were reasonable. Enjoys the food, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely come back. No kids though.

Great venue. It was packed yet the space still felt open and had low noise level. Service and food was top notch. They even had Grey Lady on tap! A great dining experience.

This restaurant is a slice of Paris. Elegant, classic decor, efficient and crisp service, and excellent cuisine. Prices are expectedly high but fair given the quality of the cuisine and preparation. My wife and I came for a special dinner. I had the yellowtail crudo appetizer (shared with my wife), beef goulash and my wife had the poitrine of duck. Soooo delicious! Portions didn't look huge, but we were so full we didn't have room for dessert. Furthermore, the restaurant gave us two financiers when the check came. Nice touch! The Beekman hotel next door has a stunning lounge that you pass through to go to the restrooms. It's busy all the time. Why not treat yourself once in a while and make the trip? P.S. I recommend this more highly than the more famous and extremely busy Baltazar in SoHo.
