Nice place, delicious food and good, attentive service.
Will definitely recommend the Boeuf Bourgignon, it is amazing along with the steak tartar.
Portions are not overly generous but you will not leave hungry either, so I guess they are just right.
Do expect to drop 200 something dollars for 2 people.

Excellent Tuna Tartare and Fillet Mignon. We received a booth table when we asked which I appreciate. Will definitely come back.

Had lunch at Brasserie Cognac, and the experience was very nice. This is a good Upper East Side restaurant that was absolutely packed when we visited for a weekday lunch. The food was solid, and the service was outstanding during our visit. This is a very nice neighborhood restaurant / French Bistro.

Enjoyed our night at Brasserie Cognac this evening. The food was good. I had the duck. It was good but not great. We also had the Salmon and that was out of this world. The cheese puffs were really good as well. The onion soups were good and just the right size. So often the soups are too large but this was the right size. I’ll be back.

A rather typical French UES restaurant with relatively senior crowd. Inside is cuter than outside, both are pretty spacious, there are also tables on the upper floor.
A good find - brut champagne for $17 (decent quality as opposed to many overpriced bubbles), a great value for UES. The octopus salad was great with plenty of charred octopus, tuna tartar was OK. The apple tart tatin tasted better than it looked. Overall a solid choice for a casual and quiet dinner / lunch in the area.

Pretty bistro with standard French fare. Place is pricey, which I’m fine with, so long as the food is good. Started with a salad, it was very tasty, decent portion with a house made vinaigrette. Went on to the French onion soup. Everyone knows one of the best parts is eating the slightly crisped cheese on the outside. This cheese was melted but the chef did not really brown it all. Once I got to the soup part it was off tasting. Hard to describe, maybe it was just freshly made or even perhaps just watered down. It was very sweet, like someone added sugar to compensate for not caramelizing the onions. For $18 I sent it back. My next course was the fondue. Also a huge disappointment. Terrible flavor and consistency. No cheese pull at all. Points for adding wine but maybe too much wine? They paired it with stale bread. Not sure what other posters were talking about with the veggies that come with it, but I didn’t get any. I ended up using the bread from the basket they provided at the beginning of the meal. I also didn’t eat much of it because I didn’t want to send back yet another awful dish.

My daughter got the beef Bourgogne. That was very good. The meat was fork tender and not dried out at all. The sauce was rich and the plate well balanced with veggies and well made mashed potatoes.

The service was good.

I’ve eaten here before. Had the French onion soup last time and it was tasty so I’m thinking perhaps the chef was having an off day.
