The French Brasserie Rustique - Naples

We had been looking forward to dinner at The French hadn’t been for 2 years but wish we’d gone elsewhere. Food mediocre at best a steak arrived well done when ordered medium rare- when we brought it to the server’s attention we were told, “well, they usually cook it right”! No replacement with another or, at the very least, should have been removed from the already pricey bill. Chicken dish super tough. Onion soup only so so. Would definitely not recommend- we won’t be back.

We stopped in at The French on 5th Ave last night. We always wanted to come here. The meal was fantastic! We ordered from the new summer menu and it is an incredible value. We had the Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and crisped onions. We also had the lamb tangine stew which was spectacular , excellent flavor profile and spices along with the beet salad and a French onion soup to die for. Elliott our server was professional, attentive and courteous. Jayne the front end manager was friendly and attentive, just great service. There was French music in the background as we dined Al fresco facing the street. And for dessert we had the Beignets, just like Brennan’s in New Orleans. Just wow!!

I think that would be my favorite restaurant in neapel. it's a real tasty bite. I love the Sazerac cocktail that feeds and desserts are excellent. they cannot go wrong with their steak, but the rotating/seasonal options are also fantastic. the service is also excellent, zoran this last time was wonderful.

This is one of two restaurants that by chef vincenzo betulia at the 5th avenue in neapel (Osteria/Bar tulia is the other.) the environment is casual, but romantic, back to a turn of the century pariser brasserie with inside and outside seating. there is a band (the dan heck trio) that plays on Sunday (not sure on other days.) that eat is excellent, all ingredients are fresh and high quality (see the pictures) many dishes and pastries are handmade in house. one of the things we have noticed during our last visit is that they need to filter the water properly. we had eaten in another local facility, which (must have) was used for the icy and suppe and they could say it. here we noticed that the water also goes over to the food, which seems obvious, but unfortunately there are many other facilities that do not pay attention to such details. no cut corners here, everything is always top notch. the only thing that could be improved from time to time is that sometimes the waiting staff is not as attentive as they could be, but that happens from time to time wherever you go and it was never terrible. if the level of the personal was increased to the level of eating, this restaurant would be of excellent to absolutely amazing!

Wow! This place is amazing! The service was fabulous! Our waitress was one of the best servers we have ever had. So nice and really made our experience wonderful! Add in the scrumptious food and it is now one of our new favorite restaurants in Naples! We went early and had their 3 course meal. Highly recommend their French onion soup, it’s the best we have ever had! Salad was light and refreshing. Our entrees, filet and mashed potatoes seafood risotto were delicious! To make the meal even better, the last course was beignets with a dipping sauce! Yum! Our 8 year old also ordered their chicken fingers off of the kids menu and said they were the best she had ever had! And she is picky! We cannot wait to go back!! It was great!
