I have been in this restaurant a few times before 2020 and back again found it very different. Service is definitely better than before. It used to be very noisy and hard to hear each other. Less quiet now and not sure because Sunday night. The food is alright as well as the drink, even though not too many selections. Overall, a good place for dining with friends and family.

I came to Dirty French for brunch on a Sunday with a party of 4. We had a reservation at 1pm indoors, for which we were a little late but still were able to be accommodated inside after a little wait. This is a very cute spot that serves French food. Service was overall good and efficient– I appreciated that all our food was brought out at the same time so no one had to wait around. We ordered some coffee that came in these really nice ceramic mugs. For food we ordered:

Had an average experience at Dirty French which was unfortunately undermined by surprisingly slow service. The restaurant was decorated like a classic French spot, and I appreciated the available tables on a Saturday early afternoon. The food and drink options however were basic and average, both in variety and in quality. It also took us far too long to get service, receive food, and to be able to close our check. If you are in the area, it’s a middling option for brunch.

The service was amazing, and the food delicious! The cocktails were outstanding. Next time I’ll just come to try the desserts. It was not noisy so you can actually keep a conversation. Loved Dirty French!

We enjoyed several meals here during our recent NY trip. Excellent food and drinks! Nice service. The roasted chicken is delightful, the best I’ve had in a long time. So simple yet perfectly executed.

I read the reviews and was very intrigued, but when we got there there was no show (entertainment), and the food was expensive and not so tasty. Service was great, and dessert as well.
