The food at Frenchette was excellent but our reservation was at 6:15 pm, and by that time they were out of all of the desserts except for one, as well as the pizza we originally wanted. Expect choices to be limited if you go in the evenings.

They could not seat us until 1.15pm for our 1pm reservation and then when we tried to order a bacon egg and cheese they had “just run out”. Running out of an item on a Sunday at mid day was disappointing.

Food was terrible and expensive. Was hoping it would be a good option before a trip to the Whitney but not worth it

The menu has changed since the last time I was there and I found more offerings that appealed to me, but miss some that I had liked in the past which are no longer available.
