Oh, those tiny mussels
Accidentally found this place, can't wait to go back. I was a single senior female just having a late lunch and not heading anywhere special so even if they had been slow I wouldn't have minded but they weren't. The woman serving everyone was friendly, helpful, truly French. After my meal of those wonderful tiny mussels (that I can't find in a restaurant at home, and I hate those big one) , I wondered if I would be presented with the huge bowl of sangria, instead I had a much preferred complimentary brandy. Portions of everything were generous, the atmosphere really seemed like a little piece of France. I am going back to NYC in Nov & Dec so will look forward to being able to compare another visit or two.....I am betting I won't be disappointed.

Worth it if you want to splurge on a budget
The mussels are great; the cocavan is so so and the skirt steak is so so. The atmosphere and the staff are fun. Its a great neighborhood place!

service and food first rate
My wife, grandson (age 13) and I recently had dinner at this restaurant. My grandson has a food allergy and the server and the chef asked all the details and then prepared a geat meal for him. My wife and I also had outstanding food. Beyond the meals, however, we were very impressed with the care and service. We will return often.

Nearly Forgot!
I had come to Tout Va Bien a few times with the gang, always after 10:00 or 11:00 p.m., and came to think of it as that kind of place--very convivial, friendly with good solid fare and reasonable prices.The atmosphere is old-timey and the service is also old-school familiar. The mussels are popular but I have never ordered. I like their sole, veal and omelettes and had a perfect Nicoise. Main thing is that I forgot about--it is in a perfect location for before or after theatre! Yes, remember Tout Va Bien solves your pre-theatre dinner-with-parents question.

Great Old School French
A bit of old NY is inside this place. The staff and owners are warm and friendly and treat you as if you have been coming for years. The menu is not fancy but very solid, traditional French food. At the end of the meal a large bowl of sangria is brought to the table although I am not sure you are supposed to drink the entire bowl. Oh well, I will be back!

Hidden Gem
Have lived in the neighborhood for awhile and have never checked this place out until tonight. There are plenty of great neighborhood places in midtown (Rino, Nocello, Brico, among others), but this was a great find. Excellend food. The onion soup is amazing and among the best we've ever had. The salads and entrees were also fantastic and the prices were reasonable and portions were appropriate. Service was excellent and we loved the warm neighborhood atmosphere. Space is tight, but overall you don't feel overly cramped. We look forward to going back.

Love this place
Recently visited Tout Va Bien for the first time and went back 3 more times! The food and service were excellent. Love the real French atmosphere. In fact, almost all of the customers were speaking French as well. The pate was superb! The family-owners were extremely friendly and hospitable. This will be a must for me in future visiits to NYC.
