Review summary

Le Rivage is a charming French restaurant in NYC's theater district, perfect for pre-theater dining. Guests rave about its "wonderful food," "attentive service," and "beautiful atmosphere." The prix fixe menu offers "excellent choices," and standout dishes include the French onion soup burger and seafood crepe. Live music enhances the experience.

    Lovely evening. Why why why do this weekend prix fixe......didn't know and won't book on weekends......after a lovely dinner, the check was delivered with announcement.....fine dining includes the server NOT delivering a bill before the patron requests it.

    Excellent, as always. (No a la carte option is quite a drawback for someone who cannot eatsuch a lot)
    Le RivageResponded 1 day ago
    We offer a la carte at all times except pre theater, we have done this traditionally for close to a century, being that there’s only one seating it avoids people holding up the table with just a salad. Would be very hard to stay in business otherwise. We offer an amazing a la carte all other times.

    Perfect experience for hosting our international business guests from Asia. Six us us enjoyed the fantastic foods with a deep and varied exploration of the menu's apps, entrees and desserts. The volume in the restaurant was exactly what we needed. Some energy, but this did not interfere with our conversation. Service was attentive but never interfered. Wine list was excellent and affordable for its spectacular offerings. When we selected this French restaurant, we were not aware that our guests had been to Paris just weeks before. They found the food at Le Rivage superior to their dinners in Paris! Thank you Le Rivage and Noelle for a perfect evening. We will return. Possibly even this week.

    Having been patronizing Le Rivage and its predecessor Cafe du Soir for 60 years and hope to continue for another 60. Delicious food, service good and atmosphere pleasant.

    Absolutely amazing meal and lovely experience. Diego was our server and made fantastic recommendations. Every single bite from appetizer to dessert was perfectly prepared. Ambiance is a little bit of Paris in the middle of NYC. I will be back, over and over again

    Le Rivage was such a nice restaurant experience! Our server(s) were fantastic. All of our courses were timed perfectly. Our water glass was never more than half empty. The French onion soup and the French onion burger were delicious! I even had a very yummy dessert although I forget what it was called. My husband had the cod and the portion felt a little small. There was no carb with his dish it was over artichokes. Otherwise - we had a great experience! We would reccomend this restaurant for their prefix lunch menu which was $46 for an app, entree, and dessert. A lovely spot to go before seeing a show on Broadway!
