So alright to begin with mentioning I generally don't review places. Yesterday I ate at Cafe Joul in NY. Now I am orginally from SF although have actually been to New York a number of times. My partner and I adore the diversity of bistros. I found Cafe Joul to generally be sophisticated completely, from look through the presentation. Everyone at the restaurant was so nice!The room is modern and pretty. The vibe was spectacular. Definitely one of my own problems was basically the plating wasn't that incredible. The idea was fine and yet failed to ensure that you get that "wow" feeling. Of the 2 starters & 2 entrees we ordered, I probably would rate 3 as fantastic 1 as extremely okay The cost was basically just what we estimated though maybe a few bucks too pricy. My friends and I had a fantastic evening! So refreshing since there are numerous New York restaurants that are unhealthy. We will certainly be back soon.
