QUATORZE

Incredible place! Executive Chef Adam Ben'Ous is a first-class chef and wonderful host. Made my sister and boyfriend feel right at home and so welcome. The Apple tart desert was amazing and my absolute favorite. Wonderful venue for date night and celebration. No wonder why Quatorze has been around for over 40 years. May Adam deserve all the success in the world! And a nice raise to boot! -Sam D

Located in the UES, this restaurant offers traditional French cuisine with specialties such as Foie Gras and Onion Soup. We also tried the Escargots but were not something to write home about. The Duck Confit was crisp and tasty. The Apple Tarte for dessert was very good. Service was attentive and the ambiance was classic bistro.

Bienvenue to Paris! There’s clearly a reason this place has celebrated 40 years. If you're on the Upper East Side and looking for a French bistro that checks all the boxes, Quatorze is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a cozy Parisian getaway, and the team here makes every visit feel special. Alex, one of the managers, is always on top of things, ensuring everything runs smoothly with a warm and welcoming vibe. He’s definitely a big part of what makes this place feel so personal and inviting. Adam, the chef, always has something up his sleeve but keep the flavors true to a French bistro. Now, let’s talk about the food—the steak frites here are out of this world. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender, with the crispiest, most addictive fries in Manhattan. No exaggeration, they might be the best fries you’ll ever have! The tarte de pomme is the perfect dessert to finish off your meal—it’s light, delicious, and just the right balance of sweet and tart. Maybe a Roquefort and a Sauternes to really round out the experience. But the day they make a crème brûlée I will be ordering dessert with every meal. The staff here makes all the difference. Carlos is always there with a smile, ready to lend a hand if you need anything. Justin is another standout—this guy can carry more drinks than I thought possible, and he does it all with a huge smile and effortless style. And of course, Gabe and Fernando, the bartenders, are a gem. It’s the perfect spot for great food, amazing wine, and a team that makes every visit memorable. It makes you feel like you’ve taken the quickest flight to Paris possible.

Everything about this quintessential French bistro is perfect. From the wine selection to the bread, from the apps to the desserts. Don’t skip the warm chicory salad with crispy bacon, the steak tartar, oysters, duck confit. French fries are a must!

This was our first time dining and we will definitely be back! Beautiful atmosphere, kind and attentive staff, and excellent food. The duck confit, french onion soup, oysters, and apple tart were standouts but everything was delicious. Can’t recommend enough!

My visit was on a Saturday with my relative the food Delightful and Delicious. The staff was very kind and show great customer service. Chef did a EXCELLENT job on everything. I will be back again, to try other foods.

Everyone is so rude in the restuarant look at the way you responded to my review MY GOSH you have no manners what do you mean if cat ate my tongue first go learn how to respect customers and give them good service then write back assuming thinmgs SHAME ON YOU! The one star was for food that was cold and not cooked right and everything else was the worse I have seen especially after your respond! SHAME ON YOU

Three things to recommend: the half chicken, the salad with goat cheese and the French fries. After that, skip it. The salmon was a bland, overcooked and unseasoned nothing and the coq au vin was a gloopy dark mess. Only one person at our table of four found their meal worth eating.

I live in the neighborhood and had been wanting to check out this cute looking place for awhile. Friyay! hits, we excitedly head over to finally check it out. Oversalted, greasy, poor value for the price. Majorly regret coming here. Skip and splurge elsewhere. There are way more satisfying French restaurant out there at this price point. Escargot was extremely salty, greasy, and tasteless with large chunks of peppercorn shells and garlic skin interrupting every other bite. Duck magret was pre sliced-- but there will little chunks of bone you had to tease and spit out. The overwhelming flavor was salt and grease again. Everything was accompanied by home fries. It's like Denny's but with 40-50$ entrees.

came here on a Friday night and while we had a 6 PM reservation, we were able to get in early at around 5:30 and get seated right away. it was quiet at this time but when we left it got much more crowded. the wait staff was very friendly and the ambience is a cozy french bistro vibe, great UES spot. started off with the escargot (which was a little salty and came on top of mushrooms instead of the traditional dish it is served in) and steak tartar. the beef was also a little bit too salty but still super delicious and tender, and the duck was great as well. i would definitely come back but would want to check out other french bistros in the area as well.

The food was decent for any restaurant attempted to do French food The service was not that great - the workers and cells made a spectacle of their being a gender ambiguous person present in the restaurant. And they made a big deal about us asking for more French bread to dip in the oil, the escargot is in. The ambience gives tacky in-your-face French decor, which we didn't mind and ultimately drew us to the space.

My mother and I went to dinner here on my last night in New York. She's part French, and so am I, on both sides. She adores French food. I'm not a fan of some of the more quintessentially French things, like sweetbreads, calves' brains, or mussels, but I digress. The hostess was somewhat crabby, but we decided to sit outside, in the shade, on the side street. The air conditioning inside was too cold for my mother. Our server was a young, charming, and exceedingly handsome man. We ordered glasses of rosé and perused the menu. A bread basket arrived, with a generous pat of butter. The bread was flawless, but not warm. Still worth puffy allergy face. We had the bacon, leek, and Gruyère tart to start, which we shared. It's quite a generous size, and DELICIOUS. Absolutely TDF. Probably very fattening, but we didn't care. It was SO GOOD. The Mommy ordered the duck Magret, since the confit has bones. She asked if she could have it rare, and the server (whose name sadly escapes me) said that the kitchen recommends medium rare. This was a beautiful presentation of slices of duck, accompanied by potatoes. I had a mixed green salad with grilled chèvre, and a side of Lyonnaise saucisson for protein. This is not the kind of place that offers to add chicken, steak, or salmon to your salad. The salad was sublime, delicately and lightly dressed. The cheese came as a large disk in the center of the salad. The sausages, which were accompanied by Lyonnaise potatoes, were dense and flavorful. I love sausage, but usually stick to chicken sausage. This was a treat, and Quatorze excelled. We didn't have dessert, but I'm sure that it would have been wonderfully presented and swoon-worthy.

Very nice neighborhood bistro. A bit loud and wait staff not that bright but food is excellent. Outstanding calves liver and French onion soup, strongly recommend both. Smoked salmon has great texture and taste.

Love this place!!! Amazing food, atmosphere and service. I have been here many times and it's always fabulous

Made a last minute reservation for New Year's Eve and it did not disappoint! Loved the white Negroni and the escargot. Also got the French onion soup and beef bourguignon, which was so tasty,, and my boyfriend got the sirloin. Great atmosphere and staff - we'll be back!!

Great traditional French food, lovely cozy atmosphere and friendly service. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and had a great experience, would recommend getting a reservation as it gets crowded. We were offered to check our coats by the host, very thoughtful, and were sat on time at our table. Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and bilingual, it was very nice to be served in our native language. She explained with details everything we asked about the menu and gave us great recommendations. We had the special crisped sweetbreads salad and the onion soup, both delicious and generous. For drinks we had 2 old fashion cocktails, even though alcohol menu have only wine or wine based drinks, they have full bar and you can order anything you like, the bartender did a great job, our drinks were well served. For mains we had the duck magret with green peppercorn sauce and the beef bourguignon. Both delicious, right size and temperature, I only wished the duck would've come with a bit more sauce but other than that, everything was perfect. For dessert we had the profiteroles filled with vanilla ice cream and an order of mint tea (natural herbs infused) both delicious and good portion as well. The dessert was enough for 2/3 people, so it's worth the price. The bill came down to $212 with service and tip. So it's definitely pricy but it was worth it because we were celebrating a special occasion. I would definitely come back and would recommend everyone looking for traditional great French cuisine to go and pick anything of their menu, everything was delicious, and from what I saw in other tables we might need to come again to try more things because everything looked soooo good. The also have a great by the glass and by the bottle wine list.

This neighborhood restaurant has such wonderful staff. Our waitress we had is probably one of the nicest waitresses I have encountered in NYC! She made sure we had everything we needed. She also recommended wonderful wine. The food was tasty. I had chicken that was good. The mashed potatoes were very tasty. The desserts were prob the best part. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a french neighborhood spot.

There again for supper at the bar. Split Salad, Cassoulet and cocktails. Salad with mustard vinaigrette: simple and sublime. Cassoulet... excellent. Both the stew and the duck confit on top....to die for. Topped off with a few GeorgiaPeach cocktails. Yum. Owner, manager, bartenders.....delightful.

We had dinner Friday July 19 and were very disappointed with both the food and the service. We had been there in the past and it had been the last of the traditional French Bistro. Unfortunally it had seen better days and certainly would not recommend it to anyone.

Hard to overstate how good our lunch was. The wine list is excellent and not too expensive (the chilled Beaujolais was an excellent addition). I had a pate to start that was very tasty and the calf's liver (rare to find on menus these days) was perfect and tender. The service was generous without being intrusive and the ambiance was welcoming. I will definitely make this a New York City go to!

We've been coming here for years, and used to love the old locations. The ambience is really nice and the food is above average. At our most recent visit, we had the pate du foie gras and the escargot to start, both of which were great. I had the duck breast for my main, which was unfortunately a bit over cooked and dry. All in all, a nice place to grab a traditional French meal.

We had a very enjoyable meal sitting outside. The vodka martini, sauteed chicken livers, mashed potatoes, bread, butter, flank steak with ratatouille and potato salad all excellent. The only negatives...the tables are too small, the waiter told us the flank steak did not come with any sauce but it did. It came with a wonderful horseradish sauce and also ratatouille and potato salad. The biggest negative...the lack of serving utensils to share the dishes as we ordered them to share. This was very frustrating and messy. I hope the restaurants starts automatically bringing serving utensils without having to be asked dish after dish when diners are sharing all dishes with the table. Thank you! We will definitely return!

I've eaten at this restaurant since in opened on 14th street a millennium ago then again when it moved to 79th St. I always liked it, but didn't remember how good it really was. Last night I was looking for a French bistro that served roast duck. Would you believe, its wasn't an easy find. I also wanted a classic style adult setting. If classic style, warm inviting and well, an adult setting, Quatorze is your place. The light glows off the muted yellow walls and gives framed French posters a glean of nostalgia, which they are meant to do. The tables are spaced so you don't feel cramped. Relaxing. The food and service were on point. Kevin our waiter was attentive and professional. Knew all the menu and made knowledgeable recommendations. The hostess is also inviting and has a warm smile. I had the onion soup. Solid, with a deep rich broth. We also had the pate and the string beans. The beans were amazing. This was followed by the cassoulet which, in the winter, seems so appropriate. It had pork, sausage and duck confit. Yummy and warm. My friend and I had the duck confit. One with winter vegetable and one with roasted potatoes. Hit the mark. Crispy, moist and rich with flavor. If you are looking for classic French bistro cooking in a relaxed adult atmosphere, Quatorze is your place.

I remember my first of many dinners at Quatorze on 14th street 35 years ago. It was my birthday, which I shared with Jimmy the bartender. Great meal, French ambience and Jimmy's after dinner French cognac was perfect. Flash forward, many years and many meals later, I stopped back after seeing that they had relocated their UES location but I had a very different and disappointing experience. Our waitress approached the table, unable to speak because of her laryngitis - (why was she on the floor in the first place? we were all quite uncomfortable with the potential of getting sick. That said, we had no dynamic at all with our server, merely placed an order like it was a McDonald's. After cajoling my dinner mate that the cassoulet was a must, an hour later the famous cassoulet rolled out; it fell woefully short of any expectations. Who has ever had a French cassoulet with not a trace of garlic sausage? A few chunks of lamb and a duck leg was just not satisfying. Also, a little embarrassed to have talked up such an expensive meal only to have been brought that version. Nostalgia can't fix a poor meal. Sorry to say I won't return.

The service was awful Even insulted by one of the workers Walked out with my guests of 5 people Owner stood there dumbfounded And it was my birthday Never got to order the food Waited for over an hour and a half to be asked for the order Very disorganized But the drinks, like everywhere else were good This was in June 2022 Too bad It looked like a nice place

Hostess is so unpleasant, I will not go back. She raised her voice to me, spoke in a nasty way, and called me names. I had called before I went, and a person on the phone said I did not need a reservation. When I arrived, the hostess. said she could barely squeeze us in (in front of the kitchen). Loud, rude, coarse. I don't need that (when I am spending $150) for my husband and I to have a nice evening.

Great food in a cozy (if crowded) ambience. The beef bourguignon was good, but the salmon in a choron sauce was truly exemplary. Would come again.

When we arrived at the restaurant for our 6:30 PM reservation the only table available was next to the bar in a small space next to the window. We were completely isolated from the restaurant and the people talking at the bar were loud enough so we ccould not have a comversation. The hostess was very unhelpful (she did not offer us to wait at the bar for a better table). another couple arriving after us was immediately shown to a table. Eventually upon our insistence we finally got a table in the dining room. Now the food: the appetizers were adequate but the entrées downright terrible. My wife ordered trout which arrived over cooked -she immediately told this to the waiter who took it away and lo and behold the hostess came back with the trout put it in front our noises and said what's wrong with this in a very hostile way. Replied "overcook" her answer was look at the juice surrounding the trout but she took it away (my wife declined to have any further dish). When I ordered calfs liver I know and was told it was very thin. I very clearly asked the waiter is it possible to get this rare if not I will order something else please check with the chef. You know the answer and it arrived well done - the bacon was unrecognizable as bacon and it was covered in some kind of sauce. After the experience with the fish I didn't dare send my liver back. Finally we ordered an apple Tartan . The apples were undercooked and it was a very undesirable dessert. We could not wait to leave - forever.

Stay away at all cost. Dinner with five friends. Ordered the $68 rack of lamb medium. Comes with other entrees so well done it's inedible. Send it back, they're annoyed says it takes 10 minutes to recook. I say ok, rest of table eating. Then they bring out again, totally raw. They offer to recook again, another 10 minutes. By now, table done eating, I've lost my appetite. They bring another and I just don't want it anymore. Nasty every step of the way. I tell them I or my friends won't be back, they say good. I did nothing wrong they acted like I did. STAY AWAY. Many other places similar menu, professional servic.

Disappointing. Excited to find hard to find sweetbreads on menu -- unfortunately, these were not good . Others in party said their main courses were better - but only one rave ( for one of the duck options but not for other). Below average service: for example , we were asked about drinks even before we saw menu -- but then no one ever came around to see if we wanted wine. Had to ask for more water. Expected better especially at these prices.

Severe food poisoning; vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc.- NYC Dept. of Health- Grade Pending- several prior sanitary violations noted. Food service workers are not washing their hands properly or at all. Manager stated they discarded the bad food. No offer to reimburse bill. Dine at your own risk.

Not so much a review... more like a return to memory. In 1992, i moved to NYC, and the second place I found employment was "Quatorze bis." Mark and Peter were amazing bosses and just great people to be around. They taught me more about client relationships, unwavering discretion, the highest standards, and commitment to authenticity than my degrees ever could. I'm now a VP with a global, high-end steakhouse chain and recently had dinner at "Quatorze bis" - and it was flawless. The welcoming environment that I remember on E 79 st, existed too, on 1st Ave. The service was impeccable and and the servers worked together in what looked like a ballet. The food was world-class authenticity and truly delicious. The pate is simply amazing, and the moulle molierre ( steamed mussells with tomato sautee) is devine. Entrees were cassoulet and bouef bourganon, and they were OMG amazing. The duck and pork in the cassoulet were tender, and the sausage was perfectly cooked. When I tasted the bouef bourganon, it was like a perfect homecoming. The tart tantan for dessert with port wine and Fromboise brandy with poached pears were advised by our server... they too, were flawless. Negronis to start, a vintage Bordeaux, with dinner, and a 1923 sircial port capped off the evening. It was the perfect dinner. Yes, I might be a bit biased in my opinions- but I know exactly what Marc DiGiulio and Peter Meltzer founded on 14th Street and perfected on E 79th Street- I was there. Their unbelievably high standards and commitment to authenticity, flavor, service and experience is as strong today, as it ever was. Treat yourself to a bit of Paris in Gotham.

We went last Friday and sat at the bar. Lazlo (the bartender) was friendly and had some good suggestions. The restaurant was very busy with a nice vibe. We started out with the endive salad; just delicious with Roquefort and walnuts. We also had the Bacon, Leek and Gruyere Tart. You have to wait awhile for that bc it's baked fresh but worth the wait, amazing. I had the soft shell crab entree, sautéed to perfection and it came with great shoestring fries. Very generous portion. My husband had the Duck Confit and loved it. For dessert we shared the Peach Melba; it was scrumptious. Definitely will be back soon!

I want to give this restaurant ZERO stars according to how they treat their customers. Please see the review I posted below and the owner's incredibly rude response to me... 1) Had he read my review properly, he would have seen that I appreciated and complimented the waitress, Abby's service. 2) In addition, has he ever heard of "CUSTOMER SERVICE"????? I merely asked how come two other couples were seated at a TABLE FOR 4, whereas he and the Maitre' D wanted to stick us in a crowded area in the corner of the restaurant not even 1ft away from the next diners!!!!! His explanation that the "diners had a reservation for 4 people and they cancelled the last minute due to Covid" does not ring true. We could also have said that we were a party of 4 but due to Covid, only 2 of us showed up!!! (Perhaps, Mr.Alex, the owner, will appreciate people who walk into his restaurant, as more and more restaurants are closing down because of Omicron). 3) At no point, did I ever insult the Maitre' D and the owner. Unlike, what he has done to me and he has lied about how I treated the waitress. I asked for her name which is Abby, and she was more than delighted when we thanked her for the wine and her service. 4) At no time, did the owner ever try to remedy the situation....In fact...he exacerbated a negative situation even more. He can respond all he likes to this negative review BUT as the saying goes..."Methinks the lady doth protest too much". Last point, I would not waste my valuable time responding to his nasty comments but want to reiterate the point that the CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT. The owner and the Maitre' D were both rude, insulting, and hostile. I posted this first review on Google: and the owner's nasty review is below: "QUATORZE RESTAURANT on 82 & First Ave is a ZERO! In this day and age of Covid, Omicron, Masking and people wanting to be vigilant about staying safe, we were humiliated, treated so poorly and WERE BASICALLY TOLD to "take it or leave it". We left and SHALL NEVER RETURN!! From the second we arrived at the restaurant the maître d' Diego was fairly rude and stated that he would only accept the vaccination card and would not accept a picture of the card (as most other restaurants have done). Than he guided us to a table for 2 in the corner, which was only about a foot apart from the next table and cramped! Both my date and I were not comfortable "sitting in the corner" so close to other diners and we requested a table in the center of the restaurant which was set for 4 (of which there were three or four vacant tables at 7:30 at night). We were then seated at a table for two in the middle of the restaurant. Abby the waitress was lovely and we ordered Pellegrino and wine. As we looked around Lo & behold we see two diners at two different tables of four, and one couple came in and Diego kindly removed two of the table settings, allowing the two diners to sit very comfortably at a table for four. I was pretty incensed; my companion was pretty upset..:and I called over Diego and asked "how come two couples are sitting at tables of four, and we were not "allowed" to?!" He was very brusque with me and said I'd have to speak to the owner... so I said I wanted to speak to him. Then Alex, the owner, sashayed over and told me how rude I had been to his Maitre' D, and that the table we were at was it!! He would not move us! I told him that perhaps he had never heard of "customer service" and that in this day and age of Covid, people didn't want to be sitting on top of each other or be cramped, and that I didn't understand why some guests were seated at tables of 4 (when they were only 2), and why was he being so rude to customers frequenting his restaurant when most restaurants would Love to have customers! He told me that I had insulted DIEGO (I asked him to elucidate and he gave a harumphhhh) and said that was the best he could do and basically to take it or leave it. I told my companion that I wanted to leave and then I said to the owner that he had better not mess with me because I'm going to write a scathing review about his restaurant and his (lack of customer) service and the entire disgusting way he talked to us! We left! He was arrogant, rude intransigent, and both he and Diego deserve this scathing review and we shall never, ever ever return or recommend Quatorze on 82nd and 1st Ave., New York. Thankfully we went to a lovely Bistro two blocks away and the food and service was outstanding! Shall be writing a positive review about that completely different experience!" His response: see below

Lovely, quaint, and family-owned classic French bistro on the Upper East Side. Our feast consisted of oysters and Pol Roger Brut NV Champagne to start along with sauteed chicken livers, mushrooms, and sage. The main courses were savory and followed by chocolate mousse and cappuccino. The service was impeccable and we felt at home. Merci!

My family and I came to Quatorze over the weekend to celebrate my sister's engagement and our experience was absolutely delightful. We have eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Alex, Diego and the rest of the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. Their wine selection is fantastic and the food is outstanding. We started with oysters and the veggie of the day. We all ate the boeuf bourguignon for our main course. It was one of our favorite dishes we've ever had. Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant- great food, ambiance and staff. Highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy French cuisine in NYC!

Quatorze is an elegant haven of excellent French cuisine. You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Portions are generous and with high quality ingredients. When my entrees came out, I was absolutely floored. Boeuf bourguignon and calves liver...wow. Two classics I highly recommend. The restaurant itself has a peaceful ambiance, sometimes very lively on weekends. The staff is wonderful, and you can tell the chefs and cooks really put a lot of love and care into the dishes. Want to experience Paris in NYC? This is it. A wonderful spot to take friends, family, or just to have a quiet solo-meal at the bar. I've sent my French foodie friends here and they've become loyal customers. I'll definitely be coming back to this neighborhood gem!

An UES staple for French cuisine, you feel like family here. Service was very friendly, especially the bartender, and the food is amazing. I had the steam frites and would also recommend the beouf bourguinon and beef liver.

unhappy tonight at this restaurant and sad to say we were extremely unhappy and dissatisfied. Terrible service by amateur waitress. Couldn't even bring water or bread for 25 minutes until we actually had to ask/ beg. Then she completely disappeared after we spoke to manager. Not after telling me that the substitute wine for the one I wanted was $45 more than the wine that they were out of. Service only improved when we complained and that's when they admitted to being short staffed. Overall very disappointing dinner experience costs me $500 clams We give them one single star.

Very disappointed!! I had wanted to go there for sometime. Ambiance was nice and service was fine. Ordered beef bourguignon and it tasted as if salt shaker top was removed and poured directly in to the dish. I could not finish it. It was truly inedible!! On top of that, the food is way overpriced!!

Love the new location. Amazing and always good! Staff is very attentive. Great martinis and fried waffle potato chips (?) at the bar! Food is always on par. The trout and chicken are always solid choices. Had the cassoulet and it was perfect. Amazing fries, always. One suggestion? PLEASE add a Quatorze Burger.

I'm in shock . I get it . The new business will never be as good as the old but show some compassion . I understand I was in jeans and a tee shirt but who cares . I decided to sit at the bar and order food to go . I was moved twice . The second time to make way for a really tacky couple who I guess were friends of the manager. I moved while they ordered margaritas. Margaritas? Got home and the food was bad . Lesson to be learned. Never again

This place is definitely a skip. 1 waitress for the entire restaurant. Food was mediocre and way overpriced. Should be 25% cheaper. So understaffed that the table next to us had to ask to borrow our ketchup because they couldn't get anyone to help them. We weren't drinking but we were never asked if we wanted drinks.

the food was inedible my aunt ordered the grilled chicken it was tough dry and no flavor. She ate bread instead that's how bad it was. my order was beef stew I forgot the proper French name for the dish but the beef tasted really weird. nothing was good about my meal either.the other person I was with had trout. it was all far below subpar. I have eaten here I think during brunch hours months ago and it was good. I don't know what happened but I will not be going back there to try again after this last time

What a huge disappointment. Was hoping the food preparation would be the same as when Quatorze was located on E. 79th St. Well, not even close. We were there last evening and ordered the liver. It consisted of two of the thinnest slices one could imagine. To make matters worse, it was so over-cooked, it was truly like shoe leather... not edible, at all. The sauce was lacking in flavor and the consistency was watery. Additionally, we felt rushed from the moment we sat down. Before having a chance to remove my coat and fully sit down, we were asked about ordering drinks, and then again a few seconds later, and then we were urged several times to place our order. The staff were cold and lacked authenticity. Let's see how long they can survive solely upon their previous reputation. The evening was a disaster, and they lost, what was once, a loyal and regular customer. So sad!

Just moved to the UES and wanted to check out this place ASAP after being recommended to it by a couple of friends. Completely lived up to my expectations. As soon as I walked in, I was enamored of the beautiful interior design and general vibes of the place. Sitting at the bar was lovely, Laszlo (the bartender) was very nice and considerate. The roast chicken I had was perfection, and I cant wait to try the rest of the menu. If you're looking for sophisticated, relaxed, warm and friendly vibes (and delicious food!) definitely check out this place. I know I'll be coming back.

Great local spot. Really good French food. The service is fantastic! Nicole is one of the best servers in Manhattan. Definitely ask for her when you go.

I'd known and liked the place at two less convenient earlier locations. was put off by some negstive recent reviews but decided to give it a try anyhow. The decor was warm and attractive, the crowd sophisticated but relaxed. There was a short menu of bistro classics. The shared endive salad was well balanced and both of our main courses- calves' liver and magret de canard- were cooked to a perfect medium rare as ordered. Our server was attentive and charming. It was pricey but these days what isn't? If this place went through a pandemic bad patch, it has come out the other end. I'll go again.

Felt like I was in France! The food, drinks, and ambiance were fantastic. Authentic, hardy, honest dishes that were très bon. Started off with foie gras, escargots, had a braised duck as a main, and finished off with a delectable creme caramel. Service was great too. I highly recommend.

This is an comfortable, but serious restaurant. White table cloths, tables reasonably spaced, no piped-in music. The staff outdid themselves to make our meal a delight (including a basket of home made potato chips) . I shared a terrine and then had perfect soft shell crabs. We shared profiteroles for dessert. Will happily return.

A warm WELCOME BACK to "The Q." They've found a beautiful corner on 82nd/1st and built a near replica of the former East 79th spot, retaining its magic. The only restaurant in NYC I call home. The menu is consistently excellent, but for me, it's about seeing so many regulars (Friends), which eat here weekly. The wait staff is well trained and professional. The vibe just makes me feel like I belong. I've met so many awesome people over 25 years here, usually while having dinner at the bar, which is quaint and ideal for conversation. I've brought so many friends and clients here because I'm 100% certain I will be treated well and eat a fantastic meal.

Lovely dinner. Solid wine list. Classic French dishes done well. The new space is comfortable. Will be back.

Absolutely miserable experience here as a first time customer. The "special" onion soup gratinee was clearly pre-packaged onion soup that was ice cold. I sent it back, and it still came back ice cold. Cancelled it. About 40 minutes later, the duck came, and it was ice cold. I asked for the peppercorn sauce on the side, yet it came slobbered all over the plate. The potatoes that came with it were also pre-packaged. I sent this main dish back as well. I felt bad for our lovely waitress. The bottle of pinot noir and the bread were highlights of the meal. I live in the neighborhood. AOC is up the street, where the service and food are always good. Thus, this was my first and LAST visit to Quatorze. Too bad, as the ambiance was nice.

Amazing legit French food on the upper east side. The baguettes, the saucisson, boeuf bourguignon, frites, and cassoulet were a incredible. Beautiful ambience too.

We ate too much, but that's because we couldn't say no. This is classic French through and through. As my friend said, "There is absolutely nothing nouveau about this place" and there doesn't need to be. From seafood sausage, to beef bourguignon, salmon, asparagus, profiteroles, mouse, and tarte tatin it was all divine. If you like things old school, but not old fashioned, you'll love Quatorze.

It's too bad there is not a lower rating as I've never encountered such arrogant and dismissive service anywhere else - ever.... The waiter could not be bothered to answer menu questions, responding to inquiries such as, "what do you recommend" with answers such as "whatever you like to eat," then walked away during the middle of the order to tend to something else - we had to ask him back twice before he would take the wine order. When he filled one glass about half-full, we asked him to finish at which point he got some in the glass, more on the bread, and left without comment. The only saving grace was that he was so disinterested that he forgot to charge for the beverages. If you are interested in respectful, professional service, there is a McDonalds a couple of blocks away that puts this place to shame.

We four really enjoyed our first visit to the New Quatorze Bis. Appreciated the Vac policy. The space is perfect. We each had different entrees and all were happy. Great grilling on the chicken and son's duck was perfect. Go, you will be happy.
