    We had a party of 7 for the pre fixe menu due to going to the theater. Everything was excellent. The most tender beef ever. Three people who ordered Caesar salad said it was the best they ever had. Decor is warm and inviting and so is the staff! We ate at Le Rivage last summer at a table on the street and also had a wonderful meal and experience.

    Was able to get a last minute reservation for Christmas night. It was so cozy and no rush unlike other places. Close to theater district. Service was lovely and food was good. Highly recommend!

    Nicole was so welcoming and funny. Awesome recommendations and a great personality. Food was on point as well, the French Onion Soup Burger clearly displaying why it has won multiple awards. The escargot as a starter was the right call and the red wine poached pear was a solid finisher. Great experience overall. Thank you.

    Le Rivage is a quaint gem in New York City! My husband and I dined here during our Christmas trip and we were not disappointed. The ambiance was as amazing as the food!

    Disappointed overall. High expectations dashed by an absolutely average french onion soup with burnt cheese, bland escargot and a so-so pate. The beef bourguignon was the highlight and the cog au vin was good. Most of the deserts were not available.

    One of the most wonderful places on restaurant road and always a good deal. Sometimes rushed for pre-theater, but nonetheless a staple.

    If we were not pressed for a Monday night, we would have gone somewhere else. A large percentage of the menu was unavailable. The beef tasted more par boiled than braised - not a good experience. Got there early for reservation but no good seating - we were very uncomfortable. Probably will not go again.
