Two brothers journeyed from Alsace, France, to Soho, New York. They found a little restaurant for sale. The booths were already in place and they kept the chairs until they fell apart or were destroyed in the brawls that marked the early years. They were so poor they threw nothing out, not even the salt. Guy turned his Alsatian cooking skills to fine steaks and fish for low prices.
Serge stood outside on Prince Street, a lonely figure importuning passersby to enter and taste. People began to trickle in from their illegal lofts in the neighborhood. Some came back the next night or the next week, and people spread the word. More came, and came back. Soon the locals were complaining about the good reviews. The rest is New York bistro history.
Classic bistro dating to the 1970s with a bustling Parisian atmosphere & a serious French menu. Based on 893 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $$$

What a great spot! My new girlfriend tells me this is a must try, the steak is like nothing she has ever had before. Let me tell you, she was right.. best steak I have ever tasted. The words cannot even describe how delicious this was. We were lucky to get a seat, the place was packed.This place is a must try if ever in SOHO! I’ll be back!!

A burger pilgrimage well worth the wait! Exactly @5pm, seated at the bar, a friendly, professional team at every turn, and a meal to savor. Highly recommend. Patience required & rewarded.

I came here specifically to try their hot chocolate, which had been recommended on Instagram.

The burger is as good as they say. But the key is that you must get a seat at the bar. Once you do, hopefully you’ll get to wrest the magic of Angus, the most fantastic bartender. He makes the entire experience enjoyable.

This place has a good atmosphere and the wait staff was very nice. My risotto it thought was good but the steak was okay. It’s well known for it but…not something I’d recommend someone to get at this restaurant. The escargot and the salad were very good though.

Finally nabbed a res here on a Friday evening and dined with my hubby; sat outside in their open street covered dining area. An institution with a lot of hype and while food was good, in all honesty, we didn’t think it was great, nor the best French we’ve had…esp for the price. Liked the drinks, scallops, and dessert the most!

Managed to get an early lunch reservation; however, they definitely will accommodate if you don’t have one and arrive early. Had to try the burger and it did not disappoint – highly recommend!

Been for breakfast and lunch multiple times. The trend stays the same – try their steak.
