I was there with my husband about 2 weeks ago and honestly, the food is not good. The prices are sky high. The service is average. Our bill was over $80 for 2 salads and 1 entree and 2 glasses of wine. We should have gone somewhere else and spent the same amount of money and gotten way better food. Trust me, this place is not all that, Noisy as hell too.

Had Brunch here on Columbus day. The place is mobbed, I don't know why. Onion soup, which is a staple in a French bistro was a crock of brown, sweet, hot water, inedible. Crouque Madame was a cold (should be hot) ham and cheese sandwich for $17.00. Two slices of smoked salmon benedict featured cold eggs, cold potatoes and a sprinkle of paprika, $23.00! I asked about the size and price of the roasted lobster. It was 1 1/2 lbs for believe it or not $49.00. Ridiculous! The place is full of tourists getting cheated and Mr. McNally , you should be ashamed of yourself.

We woke up with a craving for a classic English breakfast. SO after a little research we find out Pastis serves one... We head on over and decide with an $18 price tag per plate and from "Pastis" it will most likely be a good meal. We were completely mistaken, it was almost bizarrely poor. The food came out in under 10 min, which was nice, but can sometimes be a bad sign. When I say that nothing on the plate had any flavor, I mean NO FLAVOR. So bland, and Blah. Even the Bacon tasted like nothing. It was a constant dull flavor of nothing. Two English breakfasts, two cappuccinos, two OJs, and $80 later in under 30 min. It was one of the poorest breakfasts I have ever had. I will go to the diner down the street before I return to Pastis. Do better if you sell yourself so high.

Plain and simple don't do! Over priced for diner quality food.

Decided to go to Pastis after a long hiatus. Was so shocked by the rudeness of the hostess when asked what the wait would be that I eventually gave up. I realize that the place was busy, but there was no line to get in. I asked what the wait would be and the hostess refused to tell me until my dining partner arrived. I asked what the average wait would be since I wanted to decide if it was worth staying or selecting another location. She refused to tell me and rudely insisted I can either come back when my party arrived or whatever... not her problem. Her tone, attitude and overall demeanor was so off putting that we decided to go elsewhere. I guess I wont be coming back again for another many years if ever. Not worth the attitude... life is too short!

It's off our list henceforth. Used to blow in here for some good steak tartare, steak sandwich etc. Our waiter was either hungover or half dead, nice guy but just couldn't put together we were paying customers. The steak sandwich was blah but the worse part was the queasy feeling we had for two hours because of the french fries. Or maybe the worse part (at lunch) was the parade of cheesy women in their sparkly outfits, quelle une drag. Too many new exciting places to go. Adieu Pastis.

Tasteless, excessive sardines, and overcooked tuna. I am just glad that my company covered the nineteen dollar charge. We ordered takeout so I can't comment on service, but the salad wass bland and incredibley disappointing. I shouldve just ordered a burger and frites.
