We spent our last night in NY having dinner at this lovely place. It was by far our favorite dining experience in the city! Server and vibe were amazing and the food was off the chart. We had the Ribeye special with roasted potatoes and chicory salad. Will be coming back when we visit again.

Dirty French is absolutely delicious—truly one of the best French restaurants in NYC! From the bold, flavorful dishes to the chic, energetic vibe, every detail feels thoughtfully crafted. The service is top-notch, the ambiance is stylish yet inviting, and the food? Rich, indulgent, and unforgettable. A must-visit for anyone craving elevated French cuisine with a modern twist.

Stumbled upon this spot for brunch and wow—I did not expect it to be this good! It’s actually part of a hotel, tucked into a stylish little lounge area right off the lobby. Super cozy and a little fancy, which made the whole experience feel kind of special. Now let’s talk about the lamb… it was absolutely divine! Like, melt-in-your-mouth, full of flavor, “hello this is my soulmate dish” kind of good. I honestly didn’t expect to be this impressed, but here we are. If you’re up for a little brunch adventure with surprisingly great food, I totally recommend checking this place out!

Food is delicious, can't speak to the drinks, but I had a sip of my mom's bloody Mary and it was good. Loved the pancakes! The staff is really sweet, especially Sadie and Cesar. They handled our big party with ease and no major issues. We were in a back room with tons of light. The space was beautiful and had some cozy seating beside the table we were at as well!

Beautiful establishment. Part of a cute hotel. Tuna tartar was very good. Service was nice. We were rushed to order though. The server told us to order before the big party shows up. There was no party after all . We moved to a lounge where we needed to approach the bar to order our beverages.

Dirty French when it opened was the hottest spot in New York. Those days are gone but the food is extremely good and it is well worth visiting, now that you can get a reservation - ! The little gem salad was the best I’ve ever had, honestly, and the tuna tartare was amazing. A few things need to be said about the chicken and crepes dish, only the breast meat goes into the crepes, the legs and thighs are turned into pieces if fried chicken with their own sauce, which was good, but still it was fried chicken. The beignet dessert was a disappointment. There was a slight sense that the sauces were not as good as they should have been, but overall it was a great meal and well worth a visit. The service from Pamela was excellent as was the atmosphere. So definitely worth a visit or revisit if you haven’t been there in a while. The Ludlow Hotel is nice and has a nice lounge.

The brunch food was very tasty with delightful presentation. The portions weren't huge, but definitely reasonable. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and seating arrangement. I was expecting it to be mad expensive but it wasn't at all. Not sure about the dinner menu tho. Sincerely, Gabriel Daboss
