Demarchelier Restaurant, New York, New York, French Restaurant Details

Food:

This would have been a perfectly mediocre French cliché in 1975. Today it's a perfectly mediocre French cliché.

Food:

Sitting in the window at a small table for two up one step for the waiter and servers, and for the second visit in the past two weeks, (at the first we were four sitting in the back) our dinner was most pleasant and agreeable, the food is consistently quite good. However it seems to make a difference where you sit, who serves you, who you are with and if you speak French, and as well how often you come and how much you order in terms of the check bottom line. Malgre tout, I love this neighborhood hangout and will return when the occasion presents itself.

Food:

I will write negative reviews of this restaurant in as many places as I can find, until the place closes down or the nasty, dumb hostess (too kind a word, general manager) gets a job washing dishes somewhere.
Our server was honest and kind, pointed out a mistake he'd made when he brought the bill, and then spoke to above-mentioned manager. We weren't sure how to react, but in similar situations elsewhere, I've noticed it's common and courteous to waive the fee of the mistaken item. In our case, the manager came to speak to us and accusingly said, "is there a problem here?" which was perplexing because we were under the impression that the mistake was pointed out to us by an honest server, and we demanded nothing. Realizing that we'd get nowhere with this monster of a manager, I simply said that it would be up to her to decide, though we'd be grateful not to have to pay for the mistaken item, in other words, take the high road. We were brought two tiny glasses of Calvados (which we didn't want--we'd just finished a glass!), so we left them. Unfortunately, the attitude of this manager was impatient, negative, and accusatory, and basically ruined what had up to that point been a very pleasant night out.

Food:

I've eaten there twice in the last 2 months when I visited the city museums. One day was very busy the second less so. I received good service both times. I've had the fish and pork chop. Each served with a nice side dish. Drinks and appetizers were good as well. I plan to return.

Food:

Inhospitable is the word. The servers totally ignored us, we had to wave down the waiter, and we would have ordered a second glass of wine had anyone bothered to see we had finished the first. Food was mediocre at best.
And may I suggest they put toilet paper in the salle de bains.
Needless to say, won't be returning.
