Being French I can recommend this place as a great bistro. Do not expect to eat like a king for the price as to eat 5 star french is going to cost around $100 per person in New York, but definitely good food and great atmosphere.

Came here on Christmas Eve for a late lunch, had a wonderful meal. The bartender/waiter was very attentive and made the us feel right at home. The escargot were great, and the mussels were excellent. Don't miss out on the desserts, they are to die for... We will definitely be back to Tout Va Bien.

Before entering this fabulous little slice of Paris remember this is a French joint. The French consider (require) their customers to be a bit more self sufficient if you will, translation: if you want something ask for it! Dinning in France takes a bit of adjustment for first timers, but once you know the “game” it is a rather lovely way to dine. Think about it, you ask for what you want, they provide it for you to the best of their ability and then they leave you be, if you want or need something more/else, just ask again… I actually prefer it to the rapid fire table turn over atmosphere of most NYC restaurants. This tiny spot is bustling with noise, good good and good people it is a Parisian brasserie, good fun! It is cozy in here, in a get to know your neighbors because you are almost sitting in their laps kind of way... also remember it's French, so if you order your steak medium rare it will be cooked properly, warm RED center. Having set out those guidelines we found this place to be fabulous! The food was very tasty, the waitress was a sweetie who made a wonderful wine recommendation, she did not just point at the most expensive bottle on the list, she asked what we were going to eat and went from there. We were not rushed through our meal, bread and water arrived mere minute(s) after we were seated. My next visit I will order a cocktail or glass of wine when I am seated so I have a drink handy while I linger over the menu, as they are happy to let you do but they don't come to take a drink order. If you flag them down to do so they take your whole order, this is not a problem in my book, we said just the wine for now, it was delivered in less than 5 minutes and we were left sip and savor while looking at the menu. Also the specials are on a chalk board right next to the front door, we didn’t notice it until after we ordered, but I don’t think we would have ordered differently. If you would like to experience dinning in Paris, go here! Have a glass of wine, relax and enjoy – we will go back, gladly! Bon Appetite!

Went with a group of about ten people including french people based upon mostly positive reviews. The food was just disappointing. My french friend said it was the poorest french food she had ever eaten, and she is not one for hyperbole. I don't require much to be happy but the food was unappetizing. I had to check the address of this place considering all the glowing recommendations, but do yourself a huge favor and walk to 9th avenue or eat at any other place on 51st. Do yourself a favor!

My Mom would not have enjoyed this special day if not for thre food and service at Tout Va Bien...She is hard to please being a native New Yorker (as asm I)....fantastic.

Used to come here all the time when I lived in NY; came back as a tourist and found the food had deteriorated significantly and the service was indifferent to rude. Coq au vin was vinegary and chicken was tough; frog legs were pedestrian and house wine undrinkable. After advising the waiter we had theatre tickets, we were left to sit for 15 minutes; and when we asked to order he shrugged. There are so many places in NY to get decent food; this is no longer one of them.

We came there a few of us and had a pleasant friday evening. Unfortunately the "tarte aux concombres" was sold out and we could not try this "special of the day" but we had nice food and awesome little wines. Also the service was amazing and thanks to our waitresses :)
