Reviews for La Grenouille in New York, NY
DISHONEST BACKSTABBERS. I had dinner here with my husband before a show. I had dined here before so I thought it was a safe... bet. We walked in, the room as usual was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers. We ordered our food: split pea soup, oniongrantinee soup, a seafood medley, minute steak and a passionfruit souffle. First, the onion soup was lukewarm and tastelesswith a scant amount of onions. My husband's soup was good. His seafood medley was very good. My minute steak was beige andcold. Thoroughly unappealing. The onion rings were cold as were the potato strings. Finally the passion fruit souffle, whichdidn't resemble or taste like a souffle at all. Maybe custard powder? Doesn't matter. The kicker was when the bill came. Now, Ihad checked many of the reviews prior to arriving so I paid careful attention to the bill, to ensure there were no"discrepancies ". Sure enough, an overcharge appeared for the souffle, $45 instead of $33. I whipped out my phone to check themenu on Google to confirm my suspicions and I was correct:$33 for the souffle. We discretely pointed this out to the waiter whoscurried off with our credit card. It took way to long to come back, but sure enough, he came back and told us he "adjusted theprice"...to $31. We paid the bill and I went to the restroom and as I was coming out I could hear two of the staff talking aboutus looking at the menu and checking the price. Really? Do not go here. The food has gone down, and there is a vein ofdishonesty/snobbery and slickness running through this place. There are far better choices in NYC than La Grenouille, trustme.... Read more
Did not know what to expect. There were like 5 people at the door when we entered. We were seated at a small table facing the... band area. A little odd was the table light and the cord running between my wife and me. We did the 3 course price fix;186$ Ithink. Service was attentive. Ordered oysters, shrimp with caviar 30$ extra and split pea soup all was outstanding and verytasteful. Dinner was lobster ravioli and so we sole (sole was filet table side). Both were outstanding as well. Desert wasGrand Marnier soufflé and fruit tart. Wow really recommend the soufflé very good. They brought the soufflé with a candlefor our occasion. A jazz trio was on stage and the owner sang Sinatra style before a very talented French female singerstarted. Very very good. The owner seems to want to be a showman lol. A little loud for such a small place as the music madeit hard to talk. Over all very nice. Read more
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 jacketswere 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. Read more
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 serenadedus with a Beautiful French song and made us fill as if we dinned with them every night with the treatment we received. I willnever forget 2/14/2022 as long as I walk this earth. Tonight was the most memorable night we have ever had. ???????? Thank youto all the amazing staff that made this memory that will forever bring a smile upon my face. Read more

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 havevisited there: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Paul Newman, Madonna, Sophia Rowland, Woody Allen, Elton John...
