Yesterday we celebrated a pre birthday at La Sirene.The food was absolutely amazing.Kristina our waitress was a GEM.I have been to many of the top French Restaurants in NYC, but for me, La Sirene takes one of my top spots. Will be back to share this great find with other friends. KUDOS to the chef and staff. How wonderful to find such an incredible place to dine.

Extremely nice service, very friendly. We wanted to get the best on the menu and we were provided with very honest answers, food was awesome and the price was quite reasonable , so don't go by the dollar signs! The place is very small though , could be suffocating if over crowded , but we got lucky with very few diners.A must go bistro! take your own drink from home.

Food is great, no doubt.. Service was very good as well, extremely polite efficient and enjoyable. Since the place it tiny and crowded, it was very noisy. Atmosphere could kill enjoyment. I highly recommended the duck liver salad, it was done to perfection, just like it tasted in Paris. If you dont mind extremely crowded places with no spaces between people , then this is the place for you. The Food makes up for it. If you are claustrophobic, maybe you should stay away

My boyfriend recently took me to this restaurant for my birthday. We both usually get out of work on the late side and have grown accustomed (unfortunately) to getting the latest possible reservations and therefore being the last people in a restaurant while the staff are trying to break things down for the night. This can be completely disruptive for two people who are trying to enjoy an evening after working 12+ hour days. This is one of the main reasons that we loved loved loved La Sirene. It was so nice to be able to sit and talk without having some obnoxious 20-something tapping her foot and texting behind the bar every few minutes! The food was excellent, the staff was sweet, quiet and respectful and the ambiance was romantic, peaceful and easy. I would actually go so far as to say that you don't have to go to France to experience a true French meal. This is a special restaurant in that they have mastered the art of creating a perfect dining experience from the moment that you arrive to the moment that you leave. I think I fell in love with my boyfriend all over again during this meal!

We had an AMAZING experience at La Sirene a few weeks ago. The atmosphere is tight, but it is part of the romantic and intimate environment. The food was by far, absolutley some of the best we have had. The mussels with the bacon and rosemary, as well as the lamb were delightful! Perfect portions, too. The french girls were so kind, helpful, and fun. They even recommended the bar down the street, the room, which we loved! BYOB is awesome, no corkage fee, even better! Everything is handmade, and made with love, something hard to find in the city!! LOVE YOU LA SIRENE!!

Went to La Sirene tonight and the food was just amazing. Rustic French bistro food flavored really well. My friend and I ordered from the prix fixe menu. She had the pate and I had the french onion soup to start, followed by the roasted trout and shepard's pie, then sorbet. All of the food was hearty, and simple, but the detail put into the flavors was so on point and delicious. The place was packed on a Wednesday night. The chef came out to tell us that he had personally prepared the dishes, helped my friend put on her coat, showed us to the bathroom, etc. He was so attentive yet unobtrusive. I can't wait to go back and bring everyone I know.

The restaurant location was sort of hidden and you really had to seek it out. The space is small - with ten 2 person tables. The open kitchen gave it an intimate feel but the smoke and heavy garlic from the kitchen was irritating my eyes (and I was sitting close to the door). The staff consists of 2 cooks and a waitress. The waitress was very nice and friendly but forgot some of our minor requests. All the dishes took awhile to come so if you don't have at least 2 hours go else where. The food: APPETIZERS - I had the roasted escargots and my friend had the sautéed calamari. They were both pretty good. ENTREES - I picked the most expensive item on the menu - seared duck breast- it was very good but a bit too salty for my taste, but good with wine. My friend had the seared swordfish which was a bad choice - the fish was not grilled, perhaps steamed - it was not fresh fish, tasted rubbery and under seasoned. DESERT- vanilla ice cream with sliced pears topped with whipped cream - nothing special. But the dark lava chocolate cake and home made coconut sherbet was pronominal and is highly recommended. The bill comes to about $120 (no wine). Overall, it's good if you know what to order.
