Libertine

"Took a chance and walked in here and got a seat immediately. The duck is done perfectly. It is a bit pricey for the portion but this is NYC and I don’t think you can find a better French restaurant in the area! We are definitely coming back for a second taste."

"Service was great. Food was hit and miss, and it felt a bit overpriced too (even for the location). The tartar was one of the best we had - the crispy onions make all the difference. The rest was okay - definitely wouldnt go for the bread (way too hard) not the salad (tasteless greens). The gnocchi was undercooked and the sausage dish was actually good. The one thing I was most disappointed at was how bad the acoustics of the place (tough to even have a conversation without yelling) - they had us on a table by the entrance where a bunch of people would not even care about stumbling upon our table and chairs all the time - even the waiter would just pretty much take other people orders on top of us)."

"We dined here on Saturday night with our kids. What a delicious and wonderful dining experience. We can’t get any French food of this caliber in Toronto. My kids loved the gnocchi and they’re usually picky. The scallop appetizer was also incredible. The sausage and mashed potatoes was so simple but so good. The duck two ways was executed so well! Every dish we had was so good. The service was top notch. It was such a cute local spot. We would love to go back when we are in New York next!"

"Had a lovely experience at this new West Village restaurant. Our favorite dish was the chocolate mousse although everything else we ate was fabulous. We had the scallop and seaweed, steak tartare, gnocchi and the sausage. Flavors were excellent and drinks were on point. The martini was served with the olives in a tiny ice bath on the side! We did notice a large gap between when the appetizers and entrees were served and the restaurant was very loud. It's a scene but with the food to back it up."
