Review of French Roast NYC

This restaurant used to be one of our go to places...

This restaurant used to be one of our go to places in the neighborhood and definitely always thought of it as child friendly. When we attempted to dine here with our daughter last night, we were unfortunately met with a manager who was clearly not open to accommodating our need to keep our sleeping infant daughter in her stroller and also suggested an unsafe modification with the rocker seat just to not have the stroller in the restaurant. When I mentioned that we could sit outside as I saw another stroller already on the patio area, he replied that there were other patrons who wanted the outdoor tables. We did not endeavor to try to stay nor will we return to the restaurant again. While I can appreciate that not every establishment can accommodate having a stroller on premise, I would hope that when delivering that message to a potential patron, explain so without apprehension or negativity.
