    Well executed classic French recipes. My steak tartar was a little dry but very well seasoned. Only flaw is that I specifically requested no pepper on it and there was a lot of it…..Although I left with a runny nose due to my mild allergy to pepper, I had a good experience.

    Both a neighborhood standby and a good spot for celebrity spotting, if you know writers and opera singers. It’s been there forever and hasn’t changed and that’s what we love about it.

    Cramped in with a table for 8 next to us and a loud female party of 5 behind us, and an older gentleman with a walker squeezing by. Very tight quarters but food and service up to standards. It seems as if the portions, (steak frites) and the salmon are getting smaller and more expensive. The steak was about 5 ounces and half inch thick. The Moscow Mule was served in a narrow glass instead of a usual copper mug. Profiteroles for desert were the highlight.

    Once again, Cafe Lux delivers on every front.It is hands down the best restaurant on the West Side. Heck, it is one of the best restaurants anywhere, with an excellent outside area as well. If I could give it ten stars. I would. Jim Kelly

    Server was aware that it was my friends birthday (as entered in my reservation) and wished her a happy birthday which was nice. I’m sure if we’d ordered a dessert they would have put a candle in it or something

    First time diner. Onion soup was absolutley delicious. Steak tartar was good, frisee and toast points were great. Presentation on all was well done. Wasn't really excited by the creme brulee. Service was outstanding from greeting upon arrival to tableside where our tremendous server was on point.

    A classic French bistro it hasn't changed much in years. Which is good. I had the French onion soup, very good, and full of flavor. The duck confit was served with a white bean stew, which perfectly complimented the duck. And they had sticky toffee pudding on the dessert menu, a dish hard to come by in New York,and very English, not French at all. It a a favorite and they did it well. The service was friendly and professional..really top notch. We will be back
