"Le B serves the kind of luxurious, decadent food that would require a dress code if it were uptown. Instead, this restaurant brings West Village cool to European-inspired dishes like Dungeness crab Wellington and pheasant in champagne sauce. The room, painted a nautical navy blue, does look like it belongs to someone with a roman numeral at the end of their name. But an oversized Art Deco chandelier and some sultry mood lighting keep it from feeling stuffy. Bring a visitor who has money to blow, and wants an uptown-downtown experience without straying north of 14th Street." - team infatuation
"Le B is fussy even by West Village standards. The upscale Continental restaurant features blue velvet banquettes under an Art Deco chandelier, and serves food that wouldn’t feel out of place at a banquet thrown by an Astor. A $60 check for rabbit and duckling royale seems quite reasonable. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - bryan kim
"The burger at Angie Mar’s Le B. is a special thing. At above $40, it is super-luxe, one that Mar made famous at the Beatrice Inn: an Angus blend beef is dry-aged for 45 days and dressed with d’affinois cheese, caramelized onions, and a red wine sauce. It’s served with shoestring fries. Know before you go: There are only nine burgers served every night that are only available at the bar." - Robert Sietsema
"Les Trois Chevaux is moving uptown, and the restaurant’s chef, Angie Mar, will be opening a new spot in the space on West 12th Street. Its name, Le B, is a nod to The Beatrice Inn, the iconic West Village establishment previously run by Mar until it closed in 2020. Expect over-the-top dishes similar to what you would have eaten at The Plaza in 1959, like crab Wellington, lobster Newburg, and dry-aged duck finished with pear confit in goose fat. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore
"A favorite spot for a signature burger and cocktail, offering a laid-back atmosphere." - Edward Barsamian
