    Met a friend here before seeing a music gig at the Bowery Ballroom. Had the mushroom risotto and burrata salad, which were excellent. Great staff, too. I highly recommend!

    Overalll, the place was great. The only thing that I had an issue with was it was really hot in there. I know we are having a heat wave in November but someone should have propped the door open or brought out ice water.

    Idk how this place wasn’t completely packed. The food was great, our server, Daniel, was so kind and attentive, and it was a really cute spot. Loved it. French girl approved.

    Dinner at Lena’s was wonderful! Matin took great care in making us feel welcome and was very attentive. The tuna and beef tartar was delicious and very fresh. And the bourguignonne pizza was amazing, we ordered a second one because everyone wanted more. Not much for outdoor seating but the ambiance inside is perfect!

    What a wonderful experience! I went with my wife and friend for Happy Hour, and everything was incredible—the cocktails, the tarte flambees, and especially the escargot and foie gras. The owner and the staff were so sweet, and we can’t wait to go back!

    I came here for the first time in 5 years. I was relieved that the menu hadn't changed much. The octopus was delicious.

    The host / waitress was quite rude. She told my friend we didn’t have a reservation (even though I’d confirmed) and made her wait outside. We eventually were seated but the waitress was very rude.
