La Ripaille Restaurant - New York

We had a lovely meal in this charming restaurant. Our waiter was attentive and fun, without being intrusive. Calories should not be considered if going here, as the food is very authentic French, including very rich sauces, but everything was delicious. A real neighborhood gem for a romantic evening out.

Great little place. True French, romantic ambience, fine dining. Owner is real French too; a charming and funny character. The eating is, of course, real French as well and consistently excellent. Been going for years and always have a memorable night. Highly recommend.

Always love dining at La Ripaille, one of NYC's most charming and authentic French restaurants. Delicious food and excellent service in a lovely setting. I look forward to returning.

As a food lover, I always enjoy trying new restaurants, but I usually write reviews when I feel that I have something to say.At La Ripaille, I was happily surprised by the taste of a unique dish named broccoli mousse. It turned out to be the creation of the restaurant 's owner 43 years ago! What an achievement!For my main dish, I ordered the shrimp with saffron sauce. Besides its elegant presentation, the dish was so delicious! I used to order a similar dish years ago, but never found it again until I dined at La Ripaille!The servers were very attentive and hospitable, and the owner was so charismatic, ending almost all his sentences with s 'il vous plait. My husband and I left the restaurant fulfilled by the food and the whole experience.

Walking in your greeted like your coming home from college. The owner tajes your order makes suggestions and prepares you for a wonderful meal. The food was awesome and the dessert was in my top three of all time
