I Thought I was in France
This is unequivocally my favorite New York restaurant. Not only is the ambiance reminicent of eating at a bistro in a french village,the owner and the waiters are french- all coming together and adding to the authentic french eating experience.You are treated as special and the presentations , choices of excellent affordable wines and tasty dishes are all pleasant to the senses. When in New York you must eat at this magnificent restaurant

Overpriced and slowgo somewhere else
Just got back home from here and am actually still angry. The food was mediocre at best and the service was the slowest I've experienced in years. Tonight I spent $100 for a meal that I could have gotten at any diner. Thanks for completely drying out the fish, over-salting everything, letting the drins flow like mud, and having a wait staff that seems to be trained to ignore customers. "Check please" shouldn't be that damned hard to understand. If you want to have an enjoyable dinner out, do not go here. Ever.

Consistantly Good
Having been a patron for almost 15 years, I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always good, the price is fair, and the setting always delightful. I have even had three large groups there, and the staff was always attentive. I do recommend it often!

OOOPS
I asked for White Zin instead of "Rosea" On Bastille Day 7/14/07.. The waiter corrected me with a scowl.

Enjoyable Lunch
I met a friend at La Mangeorie today for lunch. We had such a nice lunch in the cozy restaurant. The price fix lunch was a great deal...the butternut squash was delicious and my friend enjoyed the lobster bisque. The host was extremely gracious and welcoming. Would like to return to try other menu items and a glass of wine!

Surprising evaluations
I came to the web site today just to look up the telephone number, and read a few of these reviews. My husband and I have been coming to La Mangeoire for over twenty years, and have not had some of the negative experiences reported here. The food is generally good to very good, depending on what you order, and the service we've had (admittedly they know us) and the service we've observed have always been good. I certainly believe what other reviewers wrote about their service experiences, but after many, many visits I would have to think that these were unfortunate exceptionsor one waiter with a bad attitude.

French Fantastic
I just returned home from a lovely meal at La Mangeoire. I have spent lots of time in the south of France, and I felt as welcome and as sunny in this restaurant as any experience I've had in the beau pays. The mussels are wonderful and we had a fantastic bottle of gigondas to go along with them, some grilled snapper, several salads (the endive is rich and simple) and a refreshing sorbet dessert. I'm tempted to bring a group of friends or a date, or just to come back myself and have a glass of wine and a small bite. A very friendly corner in the NYC restaurant world.
