i'd been to this restaurant once before with a satisfactory experience, but went again recently and was beyond disappointed. while the beet salad we ordered was tasty, the "pizza" we ordered arrived cold and had an odd taste. i'm not a picky eater, but it was not tasty and was borderline offensive. then the tuna salad arrived and tasted as though it came straight from the ocean...all of it. it was bathed in salt to the extreme (and i'm a salt lover)...even the lettuce tasted briny and i can't even describe the tuna....think dehydrated Alpo. and the dressing...think aquarium film - i get that it's made with sardines, but i can't imagine ingesting it. i have rarely been truly disappointed in a meal in new york, but this one was a loser. and try as we might to leave and salvage the evening, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge us to bring the check. not going back...

Enjoyed eating at this lower west side place. Good food, good sauces, bread is good too. Wine is at $10 a glass, but good. It is all good. That is just it - good. I will come here again and again for that good food and leveled quality. I hope they will sustain the goodness of their cooking. One more thing: The food at this restaurant is hardly french. I'd say it is creative cuisine. But it is good and safe for a evening out. With restaurant closing all around this area The New French just might make it, certainly I will be there often. Andrey K.

I went on Friday night with a friend after hearing such good reviews. We ordered a pizza and the salad with tuna -- the pizza was cold which was fine, but the topping of broccoli rabe was smothered in garlic and tasted rancid. We couldn't even finish it. Then the salad came with what looked like canned tuna that was a week old. It was practically frozen and then covered in salt. And the anchovy dressing was barely edible. To top it off, no one once checked on us and we had to ask twice for the bill. HUGE disappointment.

Wow- the pulled pork was not like the normal bbq- it was so much better! If you don't get it as an entree, at least try it for an app. The jus with the short ribs was amazing- we got bread to sop up any extra sauce from the plate!! Tastey restaurant!

Great atmosphere with quality food. I loved the Pho with Brisket.

My girlfriend and I ate there last night. It was simply fantastic! I had the pulled pork appetizer and the chicken for my main dish. Both were 10 out of 10. I highly recommend it.

I have been a few times, both for lunch and dinner. Excellent food every time. The Brisket Pho is outstanding, the crepes are wonderful. Good coffee, too. I've always received pleasant, efficient service. The only drawback is the fact that they close at 3pm, and the waitress has to tell upwards of 20 people "sorry, we closed at 3...". It's still very much worth the trip, though.
