Read More On Citysearch by jmbuz at Citysearch 5/20/2011 - FOOD IS GREAT!
Read More On Citysearch by Ironknight at Citysearch 1/13/2011 - Best Bistro on the East SideGreat escargot, great steak frites. They have a wine special now, 50% off bottles over $100. Still a little rich for my blood, but this is still a cute little spot to refuel after shopping at bed bath and beyond.

Tried Bistro 61 for the first time with my family. Older kids with picky appetites. Everyone loved what they ordered and raved about it afterward. From the professional, friendly staff (including the chefs) to the quaint, sophisticated ambiance, everything about this place was perfect. Next time you're in NY, I recommend you avoid the touristy, crowded restaurants in the theater district and ...
Read More On Citysearch yorkvillemama 3/8/2009 - Like My Home, Great Food, Good CompanyMy family and I go here at least once a week. They know my toddler and they play with him. The manager and servers know us by name. Great atmosphere. And of course I love their food. The soup, the mussels, the burger with foise gras, the pasta, the fish - you can't go wrong with this place.

Famous for their seafood selection, a restaurant that has a very nice decor. I had the salmon which was average. The French Onion Soup doesn't quite have enough cheese, but overall flavor is ok. The only thing with this restaurant is that nothing really stands out in the flavors. The service was great but a little better than the food. I would still give this 3-4 stars as I am very critical ...
Read More On Citysearch 39heff 11/22/2008 - Neighborhood FavoriteI have been going to this place for several years. The food is consistently excellent. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, something that seems to be hard to find lately. No attitude, pleasant atmosphere, very professional execution - I am not surprised to see them busier than every. It is well deserved!

We started with the spicy mussles....which unfortunantly aren't very spicy but you get tons. The pasta I got was quite good and not too oiley. Drinks were a little pricey and on the weak side. Toss in all that fruit and nobody will know!

Read More On Citysearch technicien6 6/5/2007 - Best Restaurant in the NeighborhoodI have been going to this place for 2 years and I have never had anything but an excellent meal. The place is packed for a reason - the food is really good! You can tell when a French restaurant has a French chef - this one definitely has one. Besides great food, the space has a very comfortable feel to it and the service is terrific. If you are someone who understands and appreciates good ...
Read More On Citysearch nyc2foodie 6/2/2007 - Terrible food for a great space
I went here with my lovely girlfiend and had a terrible night. We were told 10 minutes for a table and waited an hour. After ordering a below average appetizer of goat cheese, I ordered the pasta in a rabbit ragu. Now, I would assume like most people that meant a meat sauce. I was confused to say the least when the bland bland bland! pasta came with a roasted rabbit leg on it. PS: This wasnt ...
Read More On Citysearch eagurian 12/22/2006 - Tasty dishes, good atmosphereThe bistro burger is good, but my favorite dish there is the Salade d'Endive--- so good. The chicken and duck are good also. Rich, as French food can be, so it's only good every now and then. The staff is nice and friendly, the bar has a good selection of liquor too. The restaurant is cozy, romantic, and creatively chic. (the menu holders are vintage album covers) Definitely a little gem in...
Read More On Citysearch kamagib 11/3/2006 - French Provencal Full of FlavorIf you would like a provencal gastronomique experience Bistro 61 is the place to go. The new fall menu is FULL OF FLAVOR. While my wife and I are always guaranteed to find traditional french favorites like the foie gras platter and steak tartare, the menu is more elaborate and tuned to Provence in the Fall. The rabbit stew served over tagliatelle as well as the lamb shank dish melt in your mout...
Read More On Citysearch darosenberg 10/16/2006 - Real French Food..... SuperbI am a frech ex pat living in NYC. Bistro 61 is one of the most authentic french food restaurants in NYC. The menu and wine list cure my nostalgic thoughts of home. Favorites that keep me going back are the Steak Tartare dish (which is made with real beef from hand cut ribeye), the Foie Gras platter (which offers pan seared foie gras, foie gras terrine and foie gras mousse) and the Soup De Poi...
Read More On Citysearch jeanfillipe 10/11/2006 - Top Quality Dishes Served with a SmileThe restaurant is in my neighborhood (Upper East Side) and my husband and I go there weekly for dinner with friends. Everytime we go we are surprised by the tasty and creative specials and comforted by our menu favorites. The lamb shank is mouth watering and Rossini Burger is out of this world. We also frequent this Bistro for sunday brunch. It is one of the only places that serves MERGEZ sausa...
Read More On Citysearch frusso 10/11/2006 - Best French cozy restaurant in the Upper East SideIt's time to write a nice note about this French Bistro. I go there almost once to twice a week. The food is excellent, the service is great and the ambiance is cozy. I really miss the tuna tartare but they recently added the salmon tartare which is ten time better. Don't forget to go there during the weekend they have the best brunch ...
Read More On Citysearch mariamjohnson 10/10/2006 - Best restaurant in the neighborhoodThis restaurant is the best addition to the neighborhood. As the place gets more and more packed, the food keeps getting better. My wife and I have been eating at this place for more than a year and I don't think we have ever had a less than delicious meal. The lamb tajine is incredible. The onion soup is perfect. The burger has become my staple item - it has to be one of the best in the cit...
Read More On Citysearch je106 10/9/2006 - Lazy, Greedy, Self-entitled Service... a shame, because it's a great burger.
"What a shame. The decor is charming, if not predictable and cliche French Bistro. The food, I had the Rossi burger and it was decadent meal with caramelized onions and foie gras.
However, the stars I might have given this place for the points above are taken away by the slow, lazy, greedy, self-entitled service! My two girlfriends and I were here for dinner last Thursday, (there may hav...
Read More On Citysearch missjaylevine 9/14/2006 - FairWent here on a Thursday night, I suppose if you live in the area, its a fair corner bistro. But we live in Brooklyn, so there's pretty much no way we will go back here. Not awful, but certainly overpriced and overrated and a pain to get to. Decent Pinot Noir. but thats about it. Got the burger and the omlet and the fois gras. Fair.
