Le Rivage - New York

What can be better on a rainy day than the warm peace of France in the middle of Manhattan? Add to it delicious food and excellent service. Thank you, “Le Rivage,” for making my day a little nicer. I especially want to thank my waiter Jose. Your kind service was definitely one of the best I have ever had.

This is a very decent place for your pre-post show meal. Their prix fixe menu offers a broad cross-section of popular French dishes and desserts, and, to its credit, it does take off the edge of a difficulty to choose something. The service is pretty quick. The staff are mostly French, very polite and welcoming. The lighting, oil paintings and wooded accents add nicely to the atmosphere in the style of the French province, and is quite intimate and cozy. The only reason why I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is that the quality of food preparation leaves some room for improvement. Some of the same dishes I tried in France for a small fraction of the cost at Le Rivage were significantly tastier and prepared with more enthusiasm and improvisation. But given everything else, this is but nitpicking. I hence would recommend this restaurant.

Walked by this place and a woman convinced us to eat here with live music. We had the mushroom risotto and it was delicious. We also had the baked seafood crepe which the sauce was decadent. Lastly we are the seated north Atlantic Salmon which was cooked to perfection and was tasty. Definitely a place to revisit!

Located on Restaurant Row, down the block from where we saw a show. We had the $60 Prefix dinner which overall was good. I had the seafood crepe with shrimp and scallops. Very tasty. Wife had the baked muscles which were good but several had some sand in them. I had the excellent French Onion Soup burger. My wife had the Rainbow trout which was not that good. Overcooked, dry and fishy tasting. For dessert, I had the bread pudding, very good but very sweet. My wife had the creme brulee but not properly torched on top. Great service and fast presentation. It was overall good.

I love French onion soup and frogs legs are one of my favorites and Le Rivage is one of the only French restaurants that sells them. Omg they were so delicious. I also wanted to try their French onion soup burger which was heavenly. No complaints at all!!!The food was incredible!
