La Sirene, New York, New York, French Restaurant Details

Food:

"Decadent" preparations of "traditional" French cuisine shuttled by "charming" staffers are the lures at this "small" Hudson Square bistro; though seating is "tight", loyalists call it "cozy" and all agree on the "exceptional" service.

Food:

this place has classic French dishes done very well. the atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly. aside from a bill mishap, which was corrected and rectified I have no complaints and would Deff come back.

Food:

a perfect dinner! Amazing food, great presentation solid dessert. filet mignon/fois gras, linguini fruis de mer, profiterols

Food:

Great BYOB restaurant! There's no corkage fee for wine. Service was spotty but food was amazing- I ordered the filet mignon topped with foie gras. Both elements of the entree were cooked perfectly. The entrees come with unlimited vegetables which were seriously addictive. I still dream about that butternut squash puree...

Food:

I definitely will return here time and time again.

BYOB with no corkage makes for a jolly ol' time ;)

But the amazingness doesn't stop there..

UNLIMITED VEGGIESSSS!!! Not just nasty ones. All of these were made SO well that I would've paid for these! We had baby carrots, brussel sports, haricot verts, and the best butternut squash puree i've ever had. We kept asking for more, and soon the service trickled down giving us the veggies slower and slower :(

Now to the dishes..

Mussels: there were A LOT of them. You get your money's worth. Use some of that free bread to sop up the juices :)

Filet Mignon with foie- the piece was very tiny but the flavor was packed! Cooked as I requested (medium rare) and the foie was a great addition to the meat.

Escargot- It was good but it was like the escargot I've had elsewhere. I say skip it and try something new on the menu!

Thank you for allowing us to make reservations, providing great food, and allowing us to bring our own wine. Amazing!!

Food:

big fan of la sirene :) here are the reasons why:

1. b.y.o.b.: i was the first to arrive in our party and decided to look for a glass of wine to order then i saw "b.y.o.b. with no corkage fee" and thought, wait, am i dreaming?! and wait, where am i going to get my booze?! luckily my friend's boyfriend came equipped with 2 bottles of wine. we were good for the rest of dinner :)
2. unlimited veggies with entree: i was able to unleash my inner vegetarian and had as many plates of veggies as my little heart desired! from mashed carrots, brussel sprouts, string beans, and some sort of beet(?). i was extremely satisfied.
3. excellent food: i got the sea bass and it was beautifully presented with light and not overbearing flavor with great sauce. i tried my friend's filet and foie and it's definitely worth ordering as well (had i not have steak scheduled the following night i would definitely have ordered the steak).
4. excellent dessert: lets not mention we ended the dinner with banana creme brulee and sorbet. the banana creme brulee was a hybrid of banana pudding and creme brulee, definitely devoured this one. the sorbet assortment (coconut, mango, berries) were excellent! you can definitely tell they're homemade. the flavors were excellent :)
5. reasonable: with entree, unlimited veggies, bread, and dessert we paid $40/person. i mean, unheard of in this city that literally rapes my wallet. i thought i had to pay an arm and a leg for dinner, but nope, not at la sirene.

highly reco this restaurant for an intimate get together/dinner. i really can't think of anything i can complain about ;)

p.s. cash/check only!
