    Great ambiance. Loved the chicken, oysters, and the freshly baked flat bread with cheese they give to start.

    The flat bread is seriously addictive! Millefeuille is a revelation and the chicken crepes also very very good.

    My favorites: the duck l'orange, the carpaccio, the steak au poivre (don't get it all at once).

    Overall pretty fun place to check out, but the food menu needed a tiny something extra to catch my attention and match the fun decor and the servers' hot pink shirts.

    Thumping 80s music, flatbread with formage blanc, and decadent food and wine -- what's not to like

    Loved it. Crudite salad tasty, textured, interesting. Millefeuille lives up to the hype. That free bread.

    Brunch- duck hash dreamy and I'm done eating for the day. Will be back for dinner and cocktails soon. Over the moon, here.

    The naan and hummus that they bring out are amazing. The sides of mushrooms and green beans were so delish.

    Mushroom mille-feuille is a crazy improbable fusion of French and Thai curry.

    the Pigalle and Grand Prix were my favorites. snag a spot on the furry couches and pretend you're John Snow.

    The Pigalle is my new favorite bourbon-based cocktail. It's in a large rocks glass to boot.

    Really great brunch. I was particularly impressed by their version of avocado toast which can easily be so boring.

    If this spot feels a bit like Gemma at the Bowery Hotel, it's because it's built/designed by the same group (Sean MacPherson).

    The chai-bourbon isn't as grand as I hoped it be, but a regular bourbon old fashioned here is really pretty great.

    The mushroom appetizer is excellent. You can get a better chicken for two at the nomad.

    The Bitches say: B. Great apps and drinks, but we didn’t think the main courses warranted the steep price tag. Read more

    The grilled oysters and beignets were fantastic. Everything else in between was medium and over salted.

    Best bread I've ever had. The actual meal wasn't too memorable, but I'd go back just to get more bread.

    the flatbread hype is real. the chicken for two is ace... wasn't impressed with the 30 day aged duck but get it to try for yourself.

    OMG I so wanted to love this place. LOUD vintage rock, ok food, confused staff all add up to major work in progress. Cocktails at the bar were the highlight - downhill from there.

    The best thing about the Dirty French is that you can take a shit in their bathroom. Long live Max Fish! La resistance!
