    Fantastic. Every member of the staff was wonderful from our greeting at the door, to our server and the other staff. A welcoming environment and well-trained staff- and then the exceptional food! The pate! French onion burger! Crustless cheesecake! And the Cabaret cocktail! Eager to return on our next trip to New York.

    We had a fantastic dining experience here! The French Onion soup was outstanding. I indulged in the steak tartare (loved it) and my mom enjoyed the seafood crepe. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a rustic French flair. We definitely recommend the red wine poached pears for dessert! Tommy made our entire experience so enjoyable. You can tell he cares about every guest and made sure to make my birthday special. Will definitely come back!

    Lovely pre-theatre lunch. The onion soup was particularly good, as was the chocolate mousse. We look forward to returning soon.

    We have a wonderful experience at Le Rivage. The food was amazing and the service was superb. We ask our waiter to choose the deserts… he picked 3 amazing dishes that were delicious.
