Le Bilboquet NY

“We had dinner here last night. The weather in New York was beautiful. Windows were open, customers and staff in a good mood, a perfect Thursday evening! Great cocktails, delicious steamed mussels in white wine broth, perfect steak frites, and a rich chocolate mouse avec chantilly to end the meal. Excellent service. Highly recommend. My only criticism is prices are on the high side even for Manhattan!”

“My daughter & I dined here over the holidays on a whim, no reservation. Had a beautiful and memorable lunch, great service & ppl watching. Best two bowls of French onion soup ever made & worth every penny. Not overpriced, remember you get what you pay for. We will return!”

“With parts of our family being away from home, we decided to dine out on Christmas Eve. We have rarely made a better decision. Le Bilbo may not be classic French cuisine but everything we ordered was so perfect in taste and presentation, it was beyond expectation. Order a laissez faire cocktail and anything else, you won’t go wrong. Superb dining experience”

“Great scene and excellent service. As long as you’re expecting the prices, it’s a fantastic spot. We had the soup, the artichoke, the chicken, and the mussels, all really good. We skipped the tuna tartare this time but it’s always amazing. Gets very crowded, but definitely worth a visit.”

“Horrible ambiance! They play loud, unmelodious "music" which forces diners to almost scream to be heard by each other. The atmosphere is like that of a high school cafeteria. No tablecloths; just paper on the tables! Service is excellent. Endive salad was superb, but the portion was much too large; it would have been suitable for two people. Baguettes are excellent. Mussels were overcooked and many were dry. Again the portions were too large. I think that it would be possible to find some very good dishes, but I would not go unless you are deaf or a single person wearing the hearing protectors used by airport ground crews.”
