The food was amazing, and definitely the reason to come back! My party of 5 had one person with a ton of ingredient/diet... restriction and this was managed fine, though another person asked for medium steak and received close to rare, as well as theincorrect side dish, initially. Nonbinary and gender-diverse persons take note: this is a *very* Old World European place --only two restrooms (men/women), and the type of customers who look you up and down and snidely comment on whether they think youbelong in that particular restroom ???? This could be avoided with signage or, better yet, a full conversion to gender-neutralrestrooms. It might be an old place, but we're dining in 2022 in NYC! Read more
I had to debate with myself; was this a 2–star or 3-star experience? Well, first of all, Orsay is on the Upper East Side, not... a part of town known for it’s plethora of dining opportunities. So it deserves to be forgiven to some degree for notunderstanding how to cook food and provide table service. But at $27 for a poorly executed hamburger, one needs to wonder ifthe people patronizing this restaurant are too lazy to go someplace further away or simply enjoy the abuse of eating here? Mymedium rare burger came out well-done. After searching for a server to point out the kitchen’s error, the usual “how iseverything?” server check-in that would be normal in even a Times Square tourist trap being much too much to expect from thispoor example of fine-dining, I finally got out of my seat to flag down a server. They flagged down another server. Aftershowing this staff member the dark brown meat in the center of the burger, he went off to get the manager. After explaining forthe third time what the issue was, the manager appropriately apologized and approved a replacement burger. This was also reallystrange; why does the server need to bring a manger over to get permission to fix kitchen mistakes? By this time, my twofriends had finished their meals. Mind you, we had all started eating at the same time, but the process of solving for Orsay’svery average kitchen was dragged out by a lack of attention and responsiveness from the front-of-house. The new burger arrived,this one rare with a soaking wet bun. Of course, no one came to ask if it was alright this time, or to offer a coffee for theinconvenience. I didn’t dare complain about a second miss, as at this point I really just wanted to walk out of Orsay for thelast time. With tax and tip, which I regret to confess I left at 18%, my meal came to over $40. For a hamburger and tap water.The poor value for money here is second in New York only to the deal the Dutch forced on the Lenape people in the early 16 Read more

Continuing my birthday weekend festivities, we've walked by here many times and I always wanted to try it out. We also have seen... a scene on the Netflix Marvel series, Jessica Jones show of this place too! We came here for Sunday brunch. We got coffees andmimosas to start. I got the French onion soup, while my boyfriend got a delicious salad. I ended up getting croque madame(although I usually prefer monsieur) and my boyfriend ordered their special for the day, a very delicious tender falls apartpork shoulder. Unfortunately, I was so full from just my soup, I didn't finish my main dish, but that's okay, I took it with meso I can finish it later. And no room for dessert, although I've been craving macarons. I really loved the historical look! Read more
Not bad. Limited menu. Ordered a cheeseburger that was ok, nothing special. My partner ordered benedictine eggs that were more... exciting. Fresh sauce and big eggs. Read more

Went with my wife, I had the fish, she had the steak. Fish was very good (sole) and expensive > $70. Steak was ok. Dessert... was delicious and possibly the best coffee I've ever had. Ambiance was first-rate a true French bistro. We would go back justmight not order as much food next time. Overall a pleasant and memorable time. Read more
