Les Enfants de Bohème 177 Henry Street, Manhattan, New York,

"I had a great experience 5 years ago, so I decided to try again for my birthday. The last 10 minutes of being inside this restaurant killed the entire experience for me. The food was average. There was long hair in my beef, the duck confit was super salty and rock hard. My friend didn’t like or eat much of the food. I didn’t complain about the food, honestly it wasn’t a big deal for me. I was just there to enjoy the company. It was our server’s first day of work. She was kind and prompt, no complaints. After I paid, my friend and I continued chatting for a while. The restaurant was ½ empty. 15 minutes after paying, the restaurant manager or owner came and passive aggressively snatched the empty water bottle off the table. We weren’t going to stay much longer, but we got the message that she wanted us out. After we left, I saw her motion and snicker towards our table. So rude. I checked the time after leaving …we left exactly 2 hours after my reservation time. Needless to say, I’m never coming here again. Just unflagged off my restaurant list."

"Cozy spot, good energy and service- not every dish was made equal. We ordered the foie gras and escargot and were off to a strong start. Wines we ordered by the glass had good variety too. I was surprised the roast chicken breast (a staple at any French place, the “can’t screw up option”?) was drier than expected- the adjoining dark meat fared better, in any case. My companion had the stewed beef which was rich, tender, and a pretty sizeable hunk of meat compared to my chicken. Overall, a pleasant experience and a solid spot for wine and classic French apps."

"This restaurant is a TRUE HIDDEN GEM!! I loved everything about it from delectable food, impeccable service, inviting atmosphere. Plus they have live music on Sundays for brunch after 12:30 add an extra layer of charm! I ordered a ham and cheese croissant- the best one I have ever had! My friends echoed the sentiment as they savored their dishes."

"Les Enfants de Bohème is one of those places that makes you feel like the main character. We went to this very popular establishment on a Saturday morning around 10:00 AM. We got cappuccinos & waffles with eggs & bacon. These waffles were insanely good. They were crispy on the outside & had a really sweet vanilla bean flavor. It went perfectly with the eggs & bacon. The Capp was awesome too. I would certainly return for brunch or dinner or drinks or anything. It's a taste of France in & the restaurant experience feels special."
