La Grenouille

I had a really wonderful time here. One of the most romantic restaurant in nyc! Recommend here for a special day.

Did not know what to expect. There were like 5 people at the door when we entered. We were seated at a small table facing the band area. A little odd was the table light and the cord running between my wife and me. We did the 3 course price fix;186$ I think. Service was attentive. Ordered oysters, shrimp with caviar 30$ extra and split pea soup all was outstanding and very tasteful. Dinner was lobster ravioli and so we sole (sole was filet table side). Both were outstanding as well. Desert was Grand Marnier soufflé and fruit tart. Wow really recommend the soufflé very good. They brought the soufflé with a candle for our occasion. A jazz trio was on stage and the owner sang Sinatra style before a very talented French female singer started. Very very good. The owner seems to want to be a showman lol. A little loud for such a small place as the music made it hard to talk. Over all very nice.

Everything was excellent. The execution in the kitchen couldn't have been better. The food is traditional French and it doesn't try to innovate, it simply nails what it sets out to do. The foie gras terrine was the best I ever had. The ambiance is fancy, with large mirrors, candelabra, and flower bouquets. The service couldn't be more on top of the table. I wasn't aware jackets were required, and they provided one with a smile. The prix fixe is a good deal with plenty of food, and very filling. Definitely fit for a grand celebration, but I'd say it's expensive otherwise.

Absolutely the most romantic dinner experience my wife and I have had. From the moment we entered the restaurant being greeted by the maître d’ and shortly afterwards by the owner. Truly a 5⭐️ Experience that I will never forget. The owner serenaded us with a Beautiful French song and made us fill as if we dinned with them every night with the treatment we received. I will never forget 2/14/2022 as long as I walk this earth. Tonight was the most memorable night we have ever had. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you to all the amazing staff that made this memory that will forever bring a smile upon my face.

La Grenouille opened in 1962, and it has been ranked high among the best restaurants in Zagat New York over the years. This is a high-end traditional French restaurant with an elegant and warm environment. Many big movie stars and fashion designers have visited there: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Paul Newman, Madonna, Sophia Rowland, Woody Allen, Elton John...

It’s full of flowers and gives you very romantic feeling. The restaurant is quite which makes you better enjoy your foods. The waiters are very experienced and somehow old-fashioned. It’s a great experience having meal there.
