The Gnocchi is out of this stratosphere...honestly, it has a gorgeous crunch and is truly delicious. Classic, crusty baguette, as well.

The servers were friendly and attentive, and I had the opportunity to bask in the Autumn Sun as I watched the shiny, happy people as they walked on by.

I highly recommend Frenchette for a nice li'l TriBeCa Lunch!

Definitely can recommend the duck and chocolate mousse.

Duck was so crispy ,not oily at all . The mousse is a little rich but so nice and creamy . Definitely gets the job done if you are in a chocolate mood .

Very appealing Resturant .

They had the ac off when I was there . Would of been nice if they had it on. Was a little warm which made it a tad uncomfortable. It appeared they turned it back on when I was leaving . More people started to arrive.

I would come back to try some more things .

I was planning to go here for a while and was very excited for experience but was very disappointed with food. We ordered bread that was not that fresh I would expect warm and crispy outside and soft inside. Black sea bass no flavor and duck leg was not fresh either so dry inside. Desert is different story with poor execution. Check is sky high and I left hungry. Only good thing about is service.

Came for a 12:30pm lunch when it was slow and casual. We were graciously greeted and service was delightful. Attentive yet not overbearing when the opportunity was definitely available.

The only mid dish was the salad. It was good-classic greens to get the microbiome ready for the smoked trout(potentially my favorite dish), but lacked pizzazz.

The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked and simply seasoned. Probably one of the best I’ve ever had! The pomme purée paired well when slapped on top of each bite, along with a juicy knob of garlic bread that’s soaking at the bottom of the crock underneath the half roast.

The cocktail was well balanced and a fresh pet nat was popped for us at the table. If you’re unfamiliar with natural wines, I’d ask for a taste before committing to a glass or bottle.

Raspberry and watermelon sorbet was a pleasant palate cleanser.

!¡Stay away if you’re price sensitive!¡

I’ll definitely be coming back for dinner service.

The heaviest door I’ve pushed and pulled to get in and get out of entered my life. 😅
My vendor took my team here. I was dreaming about the time I was dining here. The steak and the duck main dishes are so yummy. The pistachio creamy dessert was amazing so as drinks. I will go ago!!!!

While I respect the opinions of other reviewers, I must admit that my experience at this restaurant left me perplexed. What were we missing that everyone’s raving about? Although the ambience and service were satisfactory, I found the food to be deeply disappointing, to say the least. It was quite underwhelming and even laughable, especially considering the price point. As enthusiasts of French cuisine, my partner and I had high expectations, fueled by the restaurant's ratings and glowing reviews. Unfortunately, the brouillade lacked the expected depth of flavor, resembling bland egg goo. The pancake showed a lack of effort, being overly buttered, dense, and uninteresting. The grilled fish suffered from a similar lack of flavor. The only saving grace were the delicious baguettes. Overall, it was a truly disheartening experience.

Nice French style restaurant. Had an excellent meal. Thought it was a little pricey, but I was still happy with the overall experience.
Lovely dining room. Good wine list and very tasty food. Perfect for a date night or special night out.
