Mister French

Oh my goodness, let me tell you about my absolutely divine experience at Mister French! From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was swept away by the incredible ambiance and the warm and celebratory energy of the staff. It felt as though we were the only party in the entire restaurant, despite the bustling crowd that surrounded us all evening. Speaking of the staff, I must say that they were simply exceptional! Our server, Abash (or something close to that - the noise level in the restaurant made it a bit difficult to catch his name), was an absolute delight. He was attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable evening. What really sets Mister French apart from other restaurants, though, is the overwhelming sense of joy and hospitality that emanates from the entire staff. They truly made us feel welcomed and appreciated, and even brought out a complimentary glass of champagne for us to toast the birthday girl! Now, let me tell you about the decor - it was absolutely breathtaking. The interior of the restaurant was so stunningly beautiful that we couldn't help but stay later to take pictures in front of the flower backdrop and around the piano. It was the perfect setting for a romantic date or a special occasion with friends. If I had to nitpick, I would say that the noise level in the restaurant was a bit high at times, which made it a bit difficult to hear each other and our servers. However, the overall experience was so exceptional that it was a minor inconvenience at best. In short, I cannot recommend Mister French enough! I would tell all of my friends and colleagues that this is the perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night (although perhaps not for a first date!). The staff and ambiance are simply unmatched, and the decor is truly breathtaking. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation today - you won't regret it!

Mister French is an absolute hidden gem, I can’t believe more people don’t have this place on their hit list! The food was incredibly tasty, highly recommend the Brie appetizer with black truffle and honey and the whole roast chicken entree that is made table-side with a show. The cocktails were amazing, great vibe and impeccable service, can’t wait to come back here again.

I’ve been to Mister French a couple times now and it is absolutely amazing. The cocktails are as delicious as they are beautiful. Highly recommend the French Slipper. On the food side, start with an order of Crispy Rice and some Dumplings from Asiatique’s menu next door. The salmon dish is very appropriately named “the best salmon you’re ever had.” The Truffle Gnocchi is so perfectly creamy and delicious. Mister French is perfect for date night, special occasions, or that random evening you just want to treat yourselves. Highly recommend.

Love this place - great food, great drinks and fantastic service. Highly recommend the tower of fries, the cheese plate (love the honeycomb addition!), and the scallops. Their drinks are super unique and really delicious. Service was exceptional and our server was very well-informed and accommodating. Would definitely come back!

Good ambience, see pics. 1. Crispy rice pork. Delicious, 3 pieces. 2. Lobster and prawn. Came with tempura like veggies, it's a bit spicy. 3. Duck entre. I like my meat a bit saltier and this was perfectly seasoned. Cooked at chef's preference. The cocktails were good, just strong enough. Got one drink per person, spent a little less than $100 per person after tip.

The drinks, the food, the ambiance, the service, this place delivers on every level. We stumbled upon this gem and highly recommend. We started off with drinks and appetizers. The lobster dumplings were amazing. We then had the steak tar tar and duck. Both were some of the best dishes I’ve tasted. The manager was also super nice along with all the staff. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in NYC!

The best service i have ever experienced in my whole life. More than one person assist one table and they are always ready to help you. Me and my friends were so impressed. The food was good and their drinks as well. It is not an inexpensive place but worth it to go for a special event.

Eating at Mister French supper club is an experience everyone should have. From the upscale decor to the diverse yet seasonal menu, you will immediately feel the care that was taken to make your time with this staff a good one. Our server, Gaveric, was on top of everything. He was humble yet detailed in his suggestions. It felt we were building a relationship based on trust and understanding, while also learning about the accomplished restaurant. He guided us to the menu options that perfectly fit our desires for the evening. The Krystel Palace martini was so balanced and the Side Street was so fragrant. Both are a must try! It was a night for all the senses as the rose water was sprayed on our drinks and sauces were poured over our duck right before our eyes. We loved the interactiveness of opening up our wrapped bass. And we made sure to try the mushrooms, which just kept on giving. We always knew the staff was taking good care of us as they were present but never intrusive. We were so delighted with the cream brûlée at the end. Michelle Chan and her team have an excellent Fall 2022 menu.

Mister French, I loved him on Family Affair! (Bill T) It's my wife's birthday weekend and I planned out a nice fun day with her. We started waiting outside for a table at Clinton St Baking company and then seeing A Beautiful Noise on Broadway. For dinner, I don't want to the evening to end in midtown! I want a sultry, sexy vibe. I need Mister French to make the night special. Even walking in, its sexy. Once they pull the curtain back and you enter a seductive, dimly lit space playing euro music. I felt like I was getting a hospitality high five. Once seated, I order a rose wine for my wife. she's asked, would you like that sparking as well? My wife is on cloud nine, sparking please. No cocktail for me, I ordered a red cab from Napa. (In my mind I'm fist bumping Mister French) For starters, I zeroed in on the Escargot. It was deep fried tempura and then put back into the dimpled plate topped with gruyere cheese. How french. I ask the waiter about the Filet Mignon Crispy Rice topped with caviar. He's telling me its enough for three so I should order two dishes? I didn't understand what he was saying but holy hell, order three dishes!! My best description would be Sushi Rice that's shaped and deep fried. Now the rice has a crunchy exterior and the interior is all warm and hugs your soul. Hot damn. I'm jumping up and down for my entree, the Duck Cassouet. Listen to me, get this dish if you love duck. Mister French, this dish was an absolute joy. I was telling the waiter I had duck a few months ago at Gramercy Tavern. This dish sets the standard. Dig if you will this picture, the duck breast is sliced into two large strips. Then, they lay on the Cherry Duck Jus. Just an explosion of flavor. It's Duck Season and call me Elmer Fudd. This dish is not to be missed. The navy bean puree was about the size of a half dollar. The duck sat on a bed of sauteed kale & chorizo, amazing. My wife ordered the MF Chicken. Now in my world, MF means something. I know it means Mister French, I was calling it Mondo Freak.. Regardless its just chicken. I've been to Le Coq Rico (Rest in peace), I mean, the chicken was good? The waiter is telling us they want to import chicken from France. MF, you do you! We ended our evening with Chocolate Truffles. Our waiter was so attentive, he put a candle in the dish. Mister French, I thank you for making my wife's birthday special. Bonne soirée

Looking for something different with great food and great vibe? You found it! Fantastic drinks to start. We all had something different and each was amazing. Can't go wrong with any of them! For appetizers, strongly recommend the salmon crispy rice. Wow. What an incredible dish. The texture and spice is perfectly paired. The Caesar salad (although a classic, but was delicious) and halibut was also an amazing combo!

I finally visited the new location. This restuarant is definitely an upgrade from the original location. I love love the decor. The staff knew I was pregnant so they made me a mocktail which was sweet and refreshing and should be placed on the menu since there were no non-alcoholic drinks listed. The complementary baguette was specially wrapped to maintain the freshness. I ordered their blue crab fries and pork belly crispy rice appetizers which ideally were meant for sharing but since I was dining alone I made it my dinner. For dessert I had the butterscotch brulee which was to die for. Maria and her team were awesome. I can't wait to return to try their main entree dishes.

Mister French is swanky, sexy & luxe and now with Chef David Burke at the helm it's diabolically delicious. It's mew spot is a posh one with velvet chairs and an elegant room with chandeliers.. Prepare to be wowed from with luxe interior private club vibe while dining in posh banquettes. Cocktails on fleek and the halibut is heavenly. Ate: Fresh baked bread Petit tournee Steak frites Halibut Butterscotch crepe brûlée Hazelnut crunch cake Brussels sprouts Brooklyn IPA The halibut with lobster medallions in a lobster bisque over spinach was perfection . Steak with Chile butter and truffle fries was diabolically delicious. My favorite dessert was the butterscotch brûlée with mini cookies. Splash out! Cannot get over the bathroom which were over the top with swan faucets. Snazzy to the max. Think French Bagatelle!

Forget every other place you heard of or wanted to try in NY and come here instead!!! Seriously!! The burger is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE delicious and melts in your mouth with a favor that is out of this world. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten in the US and maybe worldwide. An absolute MUST TRY....the steak is also incredible as is the staff and ambiance.

Very nice ambiance, nice staff. I personally liked the food: the back pasta with sea food was awesome, spicy though. My wife got the duck, she did not like it, I tasted it and I thought it was amazing. The only problem it is super expensive

We met friends at this cozy, dark restaurant in the west 20's. The staff were uniformly charming. We were initially seated at one of the banquettes that ringed the dining room. I usually go with the flow when seated, but found this table really uncomfortable. I asked for a regular table in the center. It turns out that there's a burlesque show Thursday nights at 8:00 and we were requested to vacate the table by then. It was a fair compromise. Excellent bread was served and replenished. My martini was really good, but was surprised at the $26 price tag. The appetizers were better than the main dishes. The caesar salad was my favorite one. The crispy rice with salmon was very good. The mushrooms were OK. Our friends shared the steak tartare and liked it. The main dishes were middle of the road. The steak frites was pretty good. The frites weren't crisp and were heavily seasoned. My wife didn't like her lobster frites. Our friends liked their chicken and fish. We had to vacate our table at 8:10. Our friends stayed to watch the beginning of the show, we didn't. Great atmosphere and very nice staff. The food wasn't at the level of the ambiance. As my mother used to say "you can't eat atmosphere!"

Mister French made my birthday celebration THE best! Planning a birthday gathering from afar can be stressful, but the team at Mister French made the experience a breeze. My point of contact was Maria and oh my goodness, what a hospitality angel she was! She was always on top of our back and forth, even when going between me and my sister. (My sister wanted to plan but they needed to know details like how many guests were coming, dietary preferences etc.) Whenever there would be any stall out in communication on our side, Maria was there with a steady hand to follow-up to ensure she had all of the details necessary to make my birthday dinner a memorable one. Because it was a big party, we had to pre-order menu items to ensure that the chef and team would be able to accommodate us in a manner than was smooth and timely. And of course, they were professionals when it came to timing (even while showing grace as a few of my friends were tardy to the party.) The food and cocktails were delicious and the space is chic and elegant without feeling dated. There are also plenty of of nooks and back drops in the space that are photoshoot worthy! The adjacent lounge was also the perfect space for us to hang out after dinner to enjoy a few more craft cocktails. (They make a delicious espresso martini btw!) But really, I have to express my gratitude once more for the team here. Their joyful and hospitable spirit set the tone for good vibes and great times from day one, so thank you so much for the amazing staff that works here for making my birthday dinner such a special one!

Honestly, not worth the hype. Went on a Friday evening, had a reservation and it was pretty empty when we arrived. The hostesses asked where we wanted to sit and we pointed to a certain table and she then said no that is reserved, we asked for another particular table, no that is reserved so we sat at a table by the wall. Service was slow (literally 3 other tables in the restaurant who had different waiters), and the food was pretty but not as impressive as it looks. Not saying it was bad at all but for the price you're paying it should be memorable.

A lovely place for dinner, the ambiance is really what sets Mister French apart. It's very romantic and chic and the staff could not be nicer. They must have had to come by several times before we had selected a wine, then dinner, then dessert, with them ultimately telling us that it was last call for dessert. Oops. We were just very deep in conversation after having not seen each other in years due to the pandemic and they could not have been nicer about it. We were then the very last people to leave the restaurant around 10:45 pm, but they were very kind and did not kick us out or even hurry us along. The food was very good, but I was not blown away enough to give it 5 stars. I started with the shrimp then had the fish of the day and the chocolate truffles for dessert. I would probably pass on the truffles unless you really love really rich chocolate. I could only eat 1 or 2 of the truffle pieces and they were coated in a dusty powder that made me cough. I can't say that the shrimp or fish are must get items, but they were were good and satisfying. I will say that everything was beautiful and well presented. Had a great time here!

Overall experience was nice. The ambiance was beautiful. The menu had a number of option but I am a picky eater so I went with the ravioli to be on the safe side. My sister had the salmon. Must say the salmon wast good tasty was nervous when I saw the sauce was green but the flavor was good.

- the volume of the music was too loud for dining, made it hard to speak to my dinner companions without yelling, and I suspect was the cause of my waiter getting my wine order as well as the temperature of my entree wrong - the decor and ambiance were lovely, very chic and cool (the mirrored wall of the entrance deserves an honorable mention) - my party of 6 all found the food underwhelming, especially for the cost - you could tell a lot of thought and effort went into their cocktails (at Asiatique) but at $20+ per cocktail, I can't in good conscience recommend any of those either

The cocktails at Mister French are delicious-- the ingredients are perfectly balanced and the drinks are strong but very well made. The food is delicious and the ambiance is impeccable. The restaurant itself is very beautiful. Great for a date, fancy girls night out, or special occasion. Definitely worth the money.

Mister French is a 10/10! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Ross, and he was absolutely adorable and sooooo friendly! Then after a few short minutes, the GM, Justin, brought us champagne, and we felt instantly so special! The food was fantastic! We had the duck spring rolls, crispy rice, caesar salad, duck of the day and pasta la mer (the pasta was phenomenal and pesto like). After dinner, our server, Ashif, brought us dessert on the house. He was so sweet and inviting! The music was great, the people were so nice, and the restaurant had this secret kind of hidden restaurant feeling--honestly, such a great vibe. We will be back!

We came for the 2022 NYE celebration and left with nothing but disappointment, anger, and heartburn. The restaurant decided to do two seatings, one at 7 pm and one at 9:30 pm to maximize profits for the money hungry owner. We were in the latter and arrived 10 minutes before our seating. We did not see our table until 10:15 pm and had to wait in the middle of the restaurant like dogs. The restaurant was completely understaffed for one of the busiest nights of the years. By the time we received our food it was past midnight. It took almost 1 hour to receive one round of drinks. We obviously complained and the manager made so many empty promises about free drinks and comps that we didn't even receive at the end of the night. The food quality was also terrible. To top it off, they included a 20% gratuity on the bill as if to say this was their normal service. If you enjoy burning your money and being pissed off at the end of a night, please come to Mister French.

This place feels more like a cocktail bar with a few snack/food selections. Waiters are very friendly and the restaurant is very well decorated and comfortable. Came here for dinner but the food here served in small portions. They're also a bit overpriced ($15 for a small plate of dim sum). Drinks are good however. May visit again during happy hour.

Here we are back at Mister French trying new dishes!! Appetizer: Blue crab pommes frites $21 -Wowowow these fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Topped with a blue crab béarnaise, lemon confit and sea salt. When dipping the fries into the blue crab sauce it was a surprise of sweet and tangy and well cooked crab bites. If you like seafood and fries this is the dish for you. You need to try this dish, from the plating to the taste of the dish the experience was amazing! Entree: Salmon $34 -This dish surprised me. As it landed on my table i was immediately drawn to the detail of the beluga lentils and fennel and the crisp lines that shaped the salmon. I said, "is this really salmon?!". As I sliced into the salmon the meat seamlessly separated from its whole. Paired with the green sauce with hints of saffron and orange, I was pleased to find out that the sauce wasn't a vegetable sauce! Due to its green color I was expecting a parsley taste but it actually was super creamy and meaty. The sauce was so good I dipped some of my fries from the appetizer into it!

Amazing experience. The Host was gorgeous and stylish. Gaverick and Lucas are star players of the team. Lastly the food was excellent. Im in Love

The staff is very slow and the food is over priced . Would not go back . There are way better restaurants to spend your money at !

Was disappointed seeing all the male waiters wearing shirts and pants and the female waiter wearing a very tight short body hugging dress. Is this place a strip club? Why are women wearing supposedly provocative clothing? Was very turned off by this place and the sexism. Edit: she was not a hostess. Maybe a cocktail waitress? She served everyone drinks. So yes, you do have female servers. Why don't you put her in pants and a shirt like other servers? And if an employee shows up to work dressed inappropriately- they should not be working that day. The waiter also proudly showed us a video of their "burlesque" show which is a topless woman dancing around the tables. I thought I was going to have dinner at a respectable establishment. The excuses are just Ugh

Mister French is one of my new favorites in NYC! It is perfect for those nights when you want to treat yourself without too much fuss. The space is absolutely beautiful. The dishes are incredibly thoughtful and well made. Their Truffle Gnocchi is so decadent and creamy. Don't skip the Best Salmon You've Ever Had; it's named that for a reason. They actually have happy hour every Tuesday - Friday from 5-7pm in Asiatique, their sister dim sum parlor next door. $1 oysters and bargain cocktails, wine, and beer. Start your evening at Asiatique, then go to Mister French for dinner!

The food is just amazing ! Got the chicken which comes with table side performance. The crab frites was sooo good, I can't wait to go back! The ambiance is sexy chic !

Moved our reservation later when they told us there would be a burlesque show during the evening Thursday March 25th made a reservation for 2 around 8 PM. We were seated right away upon arrival. The interior design is very modern upscale. Although the menu is not large many items intrigued me. We all know I'm a sucker for a tuna tar tar, also the foie gras soup dumplings definitely caught my attention! So already knew those would be our starters. Lol For drinks the bartender happened to be walking past and he was able to make me an amazing gin cucumber martini, I followed that with their Midori Sour which I was also impressed with. So kudos to the bartender, the cocktails were fabulous. The tuna tar tar with the combination of dragon fruit was a bursting sensation of yum all up in my mouth. It was extremely fresh, definitely will be back for that. The foie gras soup dumplings were extremely flavorful and I actually loved the combination! We follow with Halibut for the entree, definitely can't go wrong there. Presentation on all these dishes was outstanding and served timely. The burlesque show was very fun and interactive with all of the tables, made me feel like NYC is back! Well slowly but surely. It was a very nice vibe though, amazing date nite for sure. I would HIGHLY recommend to a friend.

I went here for my birthday. The restaurant was practically empty and the service was still extra slow. We ordered oysters and they came out after we finished our entree. Embarrassed I brought my friends here...

Bad food, weird service, and expensive. Definitely will not be back as there are many great options in the city

Ross is in the front and he is such a joy. Luxury and comfort. Ashtif was my waiter. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed! The food...delicious. Enjoy.

This place had great cocktails and food. Great for a date night dinner. For cocktails, we tried the vesper and tropical margarita. The vesper was dry and smooth while the tropical margarita lived up to its name. The server was attentive and gave honest recommendations. For apps, we got tuna sashimi and octopus carpaccio. Both were amazing. The tuna dish came with 4 pieces of tuna and they just melted in your mouth. The octopus came thinly sliced in a decorative puzzle pattern with some chili oil sauce. For my entree, I got salmon which was crispy on top and a flavorful sauce underneath. Would definitely come here again.

Gourmet French fare in upscale chic environment. The Duck is always 10/10. Love the burger. Beet and salmon salad, divine. An often visited favorite.

A group of 10 including myself came here for a birthday dinner. The restaurant had no A/C the night of, leaving us sweating profusely the entire night. The host, Joe had given us a complimentary round of lemon drop shots. That was appreciated. The music might've been the best part of the night. They played a lot of current popular music. Our tables server wasn't the best and seemed to be aggravated by our questions. Majority of the food wasn't good at all. The steaks which were supposed to be medium well, were well done... almost burnt. The two who had duck enjoyed there meals, but the rest of the table who had steak complained of the extremity of salt along with the fries. One who had a medium steak, had a steak that was only fat. We didn't even try to tell the server because her warned us that because we had a problem with our drinks the food could not be sent back. He made sure to remind of each of us that multiple times. Majority of the drinks were sent back because of the lack of taste. I was confused at the amazing reviews I saw on yelp because this was one of the worst experiences myself and my party had at a restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Good luck to anyone who visits here.

Perfect way to end the year. Went for their New Years Eve dinner and stayed to watch the ball drop in their lounge next door. Dinner was great, even with it being so busy! The staff was so fun and made for such a great experience. Their espresso martini is a MUST try, the best I've had in the city!

I have really mixed feelings about this place because it's really trendy and cool with solid food but also reeks of orientalism and a problematic premise. My friend and I walked in on a early Friday evening for Happy Hour after noticing the restaurant while walking by, When you enter, there's gorgeous green velvet couches, dim lighting, artwork, the works -- but you can sense it's a jumble of different Asian elements blended into a space with no clear identity. When I read the paper menu, which looked to be designed to look like a Chinese takeout menu, it describes how the restaurant was inspired by journeys in Indochina which was a red flag because Indochina is the colonial term of a federation of Asian countries that were colonized by France (eek, the fact this Asian inspired restaurant/bar is located in a French restaurant is ironic) and just to be clear China was NOT part of Indochina which is why it's interesting to me that Asiatique describes itself to be a French inspired dim sum and cocktail lounge when dim sum is part of Chinese cuisine. I am also curious to hear what was the inspiration behind naming the restaurant Asiatique because as a patron of the restaurant, it seemed to feed into this mysterious oriental vibe and is also honestly, difficult to pronounce. I think it would be really beneficial for the restaurant to rethink the branding of Asiatique and their approach to the culture they are inspired by. Speaking more to the food and experience, the staff was accommodating and helpful. Ambiance is chic with great music playing and nice atmosphere. Food was delicious. We came during Happy Hour and got to try several drinks, dishes, and oysters (albeit, small). I really enjoyed the French Slipper and the chicken dumplings which came with a truffle sauce, I believe. We were surprised when the bartender offered to add an extra dumpling to our chicken dumpling order and found out that one extra dumpling was $5.50 so just be wary of that. Happy Hour prices are not written in the menu so it would be great if the restaurant included it next time. Overall, I feel as though the restaurant has a lot of potential which is why I took the time to write this review so that management can continue doing what they do well and work on what needs to be addressed.

Not as good as when they were at the Bowery. I had the beef rib. It was good but very small portion. Daughter had chicken it was good. Son had the steak. It really didn't have any flavor. Service was excellent! But when they were at the Bowery the food was fun, different. And very good with all types of exotic cocktails. Change ain't always good. I would go back in the far future with the wife but please let's bring the Bowery back.

I recently checked out Mister French on the recommendation of friends who were coming to the city from New Rochelle. When I looked it up on Yelp, I was really excited because it seems like cocktails are their "thing" and I love a good cocktail! For appetizers, our group ordered the mussels, flatbread, and the deviled eggs. For our entrees, we had the lamb chops, and two different fish dishes. One was a whole fish (halibut, lobster, leeks, sea bean, bisque, caviar) and the other was a filet (wild sea bass, celeriac purèe, smoked bacon, chicory, red wine sauce). The kitchen was kind enough to honor my request of having the sea bass without the smoked bacon. We also ordered a side of garlic mashed potatoes, in which we ended up ordering a second one because we couldn't get enough of that buttery goodness! We ended up having a grapefruit cocktail with tequila. I can hardly remember all my orders because I started the evening with 3 glasses of Merlot (which was fruity and delicious). We stuck around for the entertainment and saw a brief burlesque performance. I would've enjoyed something like a J. Lo "Hustlers" performance but I'll take the mini-show that our group got. Thanks for having us, Mister French!

My reservation was at 8:00 PM on Dec 10th. Host was a young man (early 20s) with red hair and earrings. Could not enter a review earlier as yelp had me as a no show. I requested to be allowed to review

Great restaurant but was completely empty Which is kinda odd being How amazing food was

Well apparently it's CLOSED. I was with a group of 5 last night, 8 pm reservation. Had follow ups from opentable, confirmed my reservation. Come to find the door to the restaurant was locked and no lights on! So beware if you have an upcoming reservation. No one answered the phone so at 8 pm we were scrambling to find an alternative. I've never experienced such a thing!! A sign on the door would have been nice.

Overall decor - good, mood lighting made for a nice feel. First walking in it looked much more like a lounge but walking through to the restaurant part I was a bit more relieved with what I had seen. Restaurant layout - ok, table was right up against the wall, it wasn't that busy so they could either have moved the table a little from the wall or sat us at another table/booth. Service - top notch, waiter was friendly and clearly wanted to please. All staff were very professional. Food - they were just rolling out their new fall menu which had some old items and some new dishes which they did ask for feedback, almost felt like a guinea pig. Pork belly over crispy rice was well flavored with a nice crunch. They had something on the menu titled best salmon you ever had or something along those lines, it wasn't sadly. The sauce and presentation were up there but the fish itself was overcooked and a little dry. A little bit of work and it would be "close to best salmon I've ever had" :) Overall it's just shy of being 5 stars to me, a solid 4. Given the plethora of restaurants for patrons in NYC, I am undecided if I would visit again.

Squash salad was delicious. Duck pate was tasty if you are into pate then I would say it crosses off the boxes. The filet crispy rice was good, but could've gone without. For mains we had squash risotto and Beef burginion- they were both spectacular - just forgot to take photos!

I are here for my mother's birthday and the service was terrible. I was very surprised given the great reviews. It seems this establishment is not as cleanly as I thought. The silverware was dirty and I had to ask for plastic utensils. Additionally, my glass had lip stains on it before I was able to even drink my drink. I went to the restroom and there was blood all over the toilet bowl after I saw an employee leave the restroom. The employee already turned me off before going into the restroom because their hands were noticeably different.

Amazing services, food & Drinks. our waiter made everything so easy to order by directing us on what to eat. Definitely recommend this place.

David Burke's Mister French is a throwback to the New York dining out I used to know and love! This was my first time at Mister French and to be honest I was prepared to be unimpressed by yet another pricey restaurant opening in my neighborhood. Admittedly I'd been a fan of David Burke Kitchen way back when I lived in NYC in 2012, and I was sad to discover it closed when I moved back here in 2019. I hadn't tried his other venues till now, probably because these days I find most restaurants' menus to all be variations of the same dishes and the lack of creativity and innovation doesn't entice me to eat out, especially when food in this city has gone up at least 30% in the last 4 years. So how did Mister French win me over? Read on.... We started the night with drinks at Asiatique, Mister French's adjoining cocktail parlor. I was a total sucker for the design of this space with it's dark, sophisticated and exotic black gold and teal color scheme, and a mix of textures and patterns reminiscent of a time when people got really dolled up and smoked from long cigarette holders while sipping from (non-cheesy) umbrella-clad cocktails. I didn't venture to try any of the house concoctions which all sounded amazing, and opted for my go to Dirty Martini which was as smooth and delicious as I had hoped. The bar staff was engaging with genuine smiles and friendliness which is so refreshing in an industry plagued with attitudes, egos and "Je m'en foutism". They even happily accommodated us staying passed our dinner reservation time as we were having so much fun sitting and drinking at the bar. When we finally made our way to our table I got to take in the dinning space. Honestly it was just cool. The size and layout is intimate and cozy whilst the vibe is sexy and elegant. I know these terms get so overused when describing venues but there really is no other way to describe it. I suddenly wished I was wearing something much slinkier than my chosen outfit. From the moment we sat down, we were treated to the fine dinning experience but it wasn't stiff and cold; there was a wonderful conviviality between us and the staff, and the right amount of attentiveness and friendliness to make us feel appreciated and catered to as though we had been coming here for years. Justin (the GM) was on deck the whole time and his engagement with us and other patrons was just another example of how much care was given to our experience. This is what dinning out in New York used to feel like. The experience itself was special and memorable. As for the food, we feasted on oysters (salty crisp and ooohhh so yummy) pork belly crispy rice (incredibly delicate melt in your mouth pork belly, which I wish could have eaten by the spoon fulls!) and rare sirloin steak smeared in some sort of heavenly butter oyster mushroom béarnaise sauce. Is the food innovative? No not really. It's the same standard fare you find everywhere, chicken, salmon and steak... BUT IT'S GOOD. And the steak frites was DAMN GOOD and so far superior in flavor and execution than some of the outrageously priced steakhouses I've been to recently (Del Frisco and Morton's you should be ashamed of your meats!). So yep, I was impressed with Mister French, so much so that this is now my go to date night spot with the hubby, or for my next girls night out, or for any other night I want to go out and feel special. And next time I'll be sure to wear heels!

The place always delivers! Great food, staff is exceptional and the ambience is chill, and buzzing at the same time. Highly recommend

The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. My family and I tried the scallops and the hamburger. Scallops were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned and the burger was juicy and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Haven't had a meal this great in a while! Everything we ordered was truly amazing! Duck not pictured was delicious. Chicken was full of flavor. Buratta AMAZING! Drinks were great! If you are in the mood for French with what felt like an Asian twist.. this is the place to go!!

Amazing date night spot. Delicious food (if a bit too oily/rich), great service, trendy vibe. I'm not usually a fan of French restaurants - they're often too stuffy and too expensive - but this one hit the spot. Highly recommend the burger, all fish options, and the mushrooms.

This review is for Mr.French and their next door restaurant Asiatique. One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while and I'd like to note that I normally don't waste my time writing reviews but I literally couldn't hold my tongue on this place. Our party of 5 that had a reservation was sat at a super super small table at Asiatique and when we asked to move to a larger table that we could actually eat at, the hostess was shocked. I'm not being dramatic when I say that two plates wouldn't have fit on the table so we were confused on how it was a table for 5 people. The manager then came over and said he would "see what he could do about moving us into the Mr.French dining room but it was completely booked but he'd try to make it happen." After 15 minutes, we were finally moved to a larger table in Mr.French but the whole restaurant was empty. Literally 4 tables were sat. It's obvious the manager was just trying to make us feel like we were lucky to even be sat which is petty and immature. Our food was absolutely nothing to write home about. We got the gnocchi, steak frites, brussel sprouts, crispy rice, and spring rolls. The brussel sprouts were slimy and undercooked and the steak was just ok. One person at our table ordered a gin and tonic when ordering food and didn't receive it until after every single dinner plate was picked up from the table. Our waiter then also tried to make us feel special by saying we didn't have to pay for it. Overall, for the amount of money you could literally go anywhere else and have better food with people who aren't half as pretentious as the staff here. Save your time and money!

The food is sooo good. Every single thing we ordered was a 10/10. The cocktails are also delicious! I can't recommend Mister French enough. I can't stop thinking about how delicious everything was. The staff is also super friendly.

Great experience. Attentive service, excellent food and romantic and hip ambiance. Would definitely go back. We had David as our waiter and he was great! For two of us, we had burrata salad, crispy rice w pork belly and fluke ceviche. For entree, we had salmon, duck, side of mushrooms and truffle fries. All of the food was excellent! Portions were healthy and reasonable. Food was nicely seasoned.
