Pardon My French

“We had a wonderful experience at PMF. We ordered the escargots, steak frites, frisée salad, and soup of the day, All were excellent. Francesca and Eva at the bar create a fun, relaxed atmosphere and make the best cocktails! Service was fantastic and super friendly/ personable. Great experience all around!”

“I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve just loved the atmosphere and food here. I typically get the steaks and escargot, though I sadly don’t have a recent photo of that steak. I guess I’ll have to go again. Keep up the great work guys!”

“Lovely restaurant with a nice back garden. Good selection of wine. The steak was cooked well. So were the fries. We tried both the original and the truffle fries and they were both good but I preferred the texture of the truffle ones better. Burger was good too. Tried bone marrow and the crab salad for appetizers. The crab salad smelled like canned tuna for some reason?! But it was good. Profiteroles were really good.”

“Despite the freezing weather, we were determined to go out and celebrate my friend’s birthday, so we headed to one of our favorite East Village cozy spots. We began by sharing the Chèvre Chavignolle, which was perfect for the table. The warm, slightly melted goat cheese paired beautifully with the sweet balsamic dressing on the salad. We also ordered the classic Moules Marinières, served with an impressively large portion of fries, along with a side of nicely glazed Brussels sprouts to share. I had the salmon with a creamy, buttery sauce that was well balanced. My friend ordered the lobster bisque, which was a bit watery along with the endive salad. The salad was generously sized and easily shareable. The only downside was that we specifically came for the Vegetable Lasagna and Short Ribs which were not available. They were also out of most of the wines. Service was excellent. Our waiter was funny and charming and even remembered it was my friend’s birthday, playing “Dancing Queen” as he brought out the candlelit Apple Tarte Tatin we had ordered.”

“Came for dinner and sat on the patio in the back. Inside was way too loud for my taste. Overall, food was amazing. The bone marrow and escargots were fantastic, and the mussels (mustard sauce) were phenomenal. I highly recommend all three of those. The steak was not worth ordering. It came sliced, which I don’t prefer. It also was overcooked (I ordered it medium rare but came medium well). In terms of the service… food was very slow to come out. There were several severs running food, refilling waters, etc. which was lovely. While the steak was disappointing, I would come back to order the other items again. I think I’d sit at the bar next time.”
