User Reviews for Les Halles

bourdain		“...I admit I am a shameless fan of Anthony bourdain, so the last time we were in New York, Monsieur and I paid homage to the chef behind books like Kitchen Confidential and that gastro-TV wonder called No Reservations - by reserving a table at Les Halles, the Manhattan-based French brasserie where bourdain is Executive Chef... “... Its reasonably priced for good French fare, nothing too crazy. Came for bourdain, came back for the food!... “... I did not feel welcome. It does not reflect well on bourdain...
wine		“... I've eaten dinners at the tables several times and also enjoy lunch at the bar or stopping by on a mid-Saturday afternoon for a cocktail or glass of wine... “... The food was great (although not the most wide-ranging menu outside clas. The decor was beautiful, the ambience sublime, and the wine lsit exceptional... “... Our waitress was friendly and helpful, knew the food and the wine and made recommendations, and the food was amazing! The calamari & shrimp appetizers were wonderful, and I had the monkfish special which was also great... “...I went with my father last night. I' had the Steak with Red wine Butter and my father had the salmon... “... Once we as. The waiter ignored us, taking our wine bottle away without asking whether we wanted another, then disappearing after I asked for the check...
fries		“... The enormous pile of their much touted fries that comprised a large part of my Steak Frites could have fed half of Paris, though they would have had to be prepared to forego the mayonnaise which took twice as long to arrive as the meal took to cook (which to their credit would have given Burger King a run for their money)... “... All were great! The fries are really just a notch above fries you get anywhere else! The meat is good, I'm not going to say its better than Luger's or Primehouse or any of the other big name steakhouses, but I felt just as satisfied in the end! Its great to be able to get well cooked, good meat and enjoy other French fare, instead of the same ol' creamed spinach, mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes... “... The service was negligent, slow and uncaring. The food was extremely disappointing, with the only saving grace being the fries... “...Order anything that comes with fries. The lamb chops are a good choice...
menu		“...limited menu.... “... This would have been fine if we could have gotten to th. Our waiter Jean (Johnny Depp lookalike ladies) was cool and helped us with the wine and menu... “...We had a diverse group for a Saturday Brunch/Lunch and the menu was varied enough so that even the least adventurous eaters found more than a few choices...

Came first for Bourdain, returned repeatedly for the Steak Frites. Probably the best value on steak frites in NYC. If only Boston had a place like this. The fries have only been matched by the fries at Bouchon in vegas. Even though Bourdain has probably never cooked any of my meals there, I'll still hold him in high regards as a good chef due to the quality of food every time I've been there.
