Rue 57 Review

Great food and and great atmosphere with a decent price.

The evening was just okay. Everything sounded better on the menu than it actually was. The drinks weren't that great, and our dinners were just average. We almost didn't order dessert because everything else was nothing special, but glad we did. The highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert. The Warm Valrhona Cake was delicious and almost saved the evening.

To top it all off, even though everything was just okay, it was not worth the overall cost. I don't mind spending on a gourmet meal and an enjoyable night out, but this experience did not justify the price tag.

Substandard overpriced food that most likely caters to tourists. That being said, the service was quick and friendly and I had an elderflower cocktail that wasn't bad. If you are hungry and in this part of town and this is the only place that's open, come here, otherwise go elsewhere.

Went for our 10th anniversary dinner. They tolled out the carpet. Great wait staff, great food, tons of fun!

The cheesecake is amazing as well as the food but definitely love the cheesecake

My friend Patrice and I had a great time at Rue 57. Was close to my Regus office. Food was delicious. I had the shrimp and she had the sushi. Looking forward to returning.

Nice food with a nice atmosphere. The kobi beef burgers were a delight!

Great place for brunch. I love the fancy vibe, and the sidewalk seating is good for people watching.

Been here three times, ate indoor once and outdoor twice. Prefer their outdoor seating. Loved their pom frites.

The French toast is good but a bit too mushy in the center. The omlet is good

Seated right away for a Saturday night. Phenomenal food and service. Not too loud. A great dinner and dessert. Would go back tomorrow and bring friends.

French restaurant with sushi selection too. A bit too fancy and too expensive for what they offer. Perhaps more for business travelers and tourists due to its location.

Excellent customer service and great food with reasonable prices. Attention to the customer is everything in addition to great food. Our experience was awesome

Hubby had French dip and really enjoyed it, a little more aujus than most but very flavorful. The Cobb salad had tons of chicken, bacon and avocado, one of the best I have ever had, very good value for the price in NYC !!

4 stars? really? Not sure about that. The food is fine. I've been twice, and both times, my food arrived cold. It's midtown - nothing special hear.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. The cocktails are outstanding as well. The service was flawless. Highly recommended.

Congratulations on the service and the meat and food I loved

Lively French brasserie atmosphere, good service, good food, reasonable prices. Excellent for brunch and very popular.

Such a good place. Atmosphere, staff, food and was absolutely superb. Would highly recommend

Delicious always. Nice wines. Lovely service and atmosphere. My go to in this neighborhood

Not worth the price. 4 years ago the food was ok but quality and service have declined.

Lunch menu was great, dishes were very nice and tasty.

They ruined our dinner plans and my boyfriend had a plan to propose in this restaurant. Glad he didn't elect this place to finally propose.

Went for Sunday morning brunch. 10:45. Busy. Main aisleways through the dining room were packed with customers waiting for tables. It was 39 and rainy outside, but still...a detraction and distraction. They did go out of their way to accommodate my 7 month old and helped me carry my stroller downstairs to the cost check. Food was very good, but not extraordinary. Omelette Lyon and Onion soup both needed more salt to make them sing. Blueberry pancakes were delicious...light and fluffy with just the right amount of tart and sweet. Coffee needs improvement.

Brunch omelette was good. Girlfriend got the blueberry oatmeal, which came with 6 blueberries. The Bloody Mary was awful and $15. Overall not worthwhile

Had a wonderful brunch experience with my group. Every dish was exceptional and unique, while still at a very reasonable price for the area. Service was great, and even at one of their busiest times the wait was only 10-15 minutes at most.

Really good, fun place in the city. No reservations, but the service was great and the food was delicious! I ordered the fish and some veggies, a little off menu, and they "made it happen."

Great adresse if you want a French restaurant in the heart of manhattan.

Fantastic late night spot! For the city that never sleeps it was surprisingly hard to find a place to eat after a concert at Radio City Hall. But Quality Meats actually recommended it as their kitchen was closed. Fried artichokes were delicious and burger definitely satisfied! Quality food and fast service. Definitely recommend!

Very romantic place for brunch or dinner. Good people watching.

Great view and seating outside is optional. Food and drinks were great!

Hi
I hope this massage will receive to the owner or The General Manger, today I went your restaurant .I didn't stay five minutes so I decided to leave your restaurant because they treated me so rude especially the water , no smile no attitude no behavior, rude
He is not professional to serve the costumers also when you enter you meet with bad service, the said to wait to give you table outside but we will give inside I insist to have and to wait, one them you can now the other said no you have wait , so I waited for 15 minutes and they have planty of table outside so thy gave me later so I meet with your terrible and rude waiter . This is the wrost restaurant I had in new-york .
I hope you do something for them to serve people right and with good attitude
Thanks

This is a great restaurant/bar. While the hand crafted beer was limited, the two local brews suggested by the bartender were great ales.

Thanks for the suggestion and experience

Place sounds as if you are in a high school cafeteria. Loud acoustics all over. And if you look close, Filthy. Seem that they are too busy to call and sanitize anything.

Caught in a downpoor, decided to go into Rue 57 for a meal. Glad we did, great burger even better bread and butter pudding (with chocolate no Sultannas). When we return to New York, definatley on my list to visit again.

Walking by this place the salmon dish someone was eating got my attention to come here for dinner. I could tell it was good quality salmon and made just right. When we came for dinner... since my guest got the salmon, I ordered the steak. What a mistake that was. I was right about the salmon being perfect... but the steak was horrible and it cost like $50. Other things that displeased me to give it 2 stars. When I ordered the steak, I was under the impression that it came with fries... so I ordered a side of mashed potatoes. When the meal arrived, the steak came with mashed potatoes and a extra mashed potatoes. If the steak did come with mashed potatoes, and I asked for side of mashed potatoes, the server should have informed me... that my dish already comes with mashed potatoes. So now I m stuck with 2 mashed potatoes. The second thing that stood out, was the fact that they brought out bread and butter after our main dish was served. I found that strange. Add in the horrible steak, which I would call one of the worst steaks I ve ate at $50 and we end up with a 2 star review.

Beautiful restaurant with great food and staff. Took a large group here and they handled it great.

My husband and I were in town for the new year and my birthday. We were seated upon arrival which is always nice. Our waiter how ever had a very flat affect and was nor very engaging. I had the hangover breakfast and it was good. My husband had a burger that was good also. Not sure if it would be a go to place next time we go back.

Excellent food, awesome desert and top notch service

One of our favorite French restaurants, brunch was especially nice. Love their mussels and frites.

Very good food, good service, you'll spend 30 dollars per person having lunch

A little bit of Paris in New York. If you are tired of New York (although this can hardly be possible) - pop into Rue 57 on the corner of 6th Ave and 57 W street and get a Parisian experience. We had such a "rude" French waiter we made have been in Paris - but he was delightful. Try and get a table on the sidewalk and imagine you are in Paris. Had a wonderful sole there - prepared the way you will get it in Paris! Order a Klaustini Place is always busy but walk-ins will get seated as well. Bon Appetite

Upscale American fare. Nice staff, attentive service. You can't go wrong.

A nice place for brunch, just blocks away from Central Park. The restaurant feels like classic old Manhattan with its high ceilings and gilded decor. The food and service are good, but the location and atmosphere are Rue 57's biggest draws. Worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

Tried this French style Restaurant and it didn't disappoint. French Onion Soup in the classic style was delicious. Whole meal delightful. Recommended if you are in the vicinity of 57 Street West.

Love this place. Amazing service and the best French onion soup ever.

Delicious meals, friendly atmosphere, kind staff and great experience. Definitely you should try their delicious mussels

A comfortable and clean bistro restaurant only 3 blocks from Hilton Midtown that opens early and has great breakfast options. I had a very tasty brioche french toast with strawberries & mascarpone and my friend enjoyed her egg white omelette. Average price for nyc and plenty of seats for breakfast on a Friday morning ~10 a.m.

For a French restaurant this food lacked taste and presentation. Sure it s casual dining, but that doesn t mean it has to be basic. The service was also just ok, I wasn t offered water upon taking a seat. The server didn t check in on me, but did so for other guest. Overall the food is overpriced for the lackluster quality.

Great place for food and drinks. They had a nice outdoor table for us

Stopped in for dinner, everything we ordered was incredibly good.

Stilish place with a French tone. Nice quiet place without being small.

Nothing outstanding, nothing abhorent, just a good French restaurant in a convenient location

No brunch menu on a Sunday? I guess I won't be coming here again in a while... Also the quality of food is not what it used to be.
