Bagatelle - New York

I tried the whole fish special, which I wasn't informed would cost $135. While it was tasty, I didn’t feel it was worth that price. The buttery mashed potatoes were rich, creamy, and indulgent, while the table bread was perfectly crisp and flavorful, complementing the meal nicely. Another miscommunication occurred when I asked, "Are my leftovers packed? Is the spinach there?" In response, the server mistakenly ordered another spinach dish. This was a bit frustrating, but not excessively so. Overall, I would recommend Bagatelle, particularly for Sunday brunch. At that time, the atmosphere transforms into a lively scene filled with beautiful people and upbeat music, quite a departure from the quiet dinner I experienced.

The food is flavorful in a delicately balanced way and has a delightful, fresh aroma. However, the prices are slightly high considering the portion sizes, which are mostly bite-sized. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re very hungry.

The food at Bagatelle often gets overlooked for the atmosphere, but it absolutely shouldn 't. This little gem in the Meatpacking District serves some of the strongest French dishes I 've yet to try, and as the latest revamp of the menu for Spring should not be missed. From the starters, I have to recommend the signature Black Truffle Pizza (flatbread topped with creme fraiche, mozzarella, and black truffle shavings) as well as the pillow y Truffle Gnocchi, which are made from a homemade choux pastry and coated in a creamy truffle and Parmesan sauce. For those looking for a lighter starter, the Beet Salad, Beef Tartare, and King Crab Salad are strong alternatives. And when it comes to the mains, I absolutely loved the Lobster Linguini, which is impressively presented with a whole lobster and a generous amount of linguini pasta coated in a 'secret sauce ' which had plenty of tomato and lobster flavor. And the simple but elegant Chicken, served with country potatoes and mushrooms (and a hint of truffles) was delicious as well the chicken was moist and flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sides. To finish, the restaurant now offers a smaller version of their signature Dessert Sundae, which is perfect for groups of 6 8; and if you ask nicely, the server will put in more than 1 sparkler so you get the perfect photo!

I was there few times at night. I had reservations but was waiting for my table longer. If you wanna celebrate birthday this place for you. For the regular dinner very noisy place. small portions of food but very delicious!

Late dinner service is pretty average. But can't blame them when you are having the time of your life dancing and meeting ppl. Food was good staff great decor ok.
