St Tropez West Village - New York

I was able to make a last-minute reservation at this restaurant and it was a fantastic experience! I went with a close friend to celebrate my birthday and the hostess noticed and gave us a table inside instead of the outdoor heated seating (which was much appreciated since it was cold outside). The inside of the restaurant had a full view of the kitchen and a impressive wall of wine. We enjoyed a delicious glass of wine, shared the arugula salad (highly recommend), the risotto, and the chocolate mousse. The only downside was that the main dish was served before the salad, but overall the food was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. The atmosphere was perfect for a celebration with friends.

The restaurant has a small kitchen, but it can definitely produce a variety of menu items very efficiently. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was, especially the perfectly cooked steak. The dessert was also a pleasant surprise. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy a meal. I highly recommend it!

The service was excellent and the wine was good. We didn't try the food.

Good food, the beef stew was excellent. However it is very loud indoors.

4/5: Good (but not out-of-this-world food, attentive service, and decent seating.Came here for lunch on a Sunday with a date. We came in as a walk-in and they gladly welcomed us. We chose to sit outside, but both the inside and outside looked quite pretty and I don't think you can go wrong with either. Do note that there is only 1 bathroom inside so you may have to wait to use it, unfortunately.For starters, we ordered the Escargots de Bourgogne. The escargot was quite good; the garlic and parsley butter it was soaked it added much-needed flavor, and we finished the dish wishing there were more than just 6 pieces.For the main, we ordered Truffle Mac N Cheese and Risotto aux Champignons. Both dishes were good, but not spectular. The Mac N Cheese had somewhat of a liquid-y consistency towards the bottom that made it almost soupy, which isn't normal for mac and cheese. This definitely weakened the dish. The Risotto was also good, but not great, as it had a similar liquidy, soupy consistency to it that made it strange in terms of texture. However, both dishes were still tasty; just nothing incredible. Portion-wise were quite alright as we both actually struggled to finish our dishes.This restaurant is labeled as a French restaurant, but it definitely steers away from that a bit, as some menu options (e.g., Mac and Cheese, Risotto, French Toast, Avocado Toast, etc. wouldn't be so commonplace in restaurants in France. This isn't a negative, but rather a good thing to keep in mind should you choose to eat here.The service here was excellent. Our waiter would come out as needed to check up on us and ask us how things were and how we liked our meals.Overall, a very solid option for French food in the village. I recommend coming here if you're looking for French fare in a small, quaint restaurant with indoor or outdoor seating.
