Really nice date night spot. Little loud at times, but the vibe and the quality of the food makes up for it. Not cheap, though—no good if you’re broke. Still, I recommend! Just be careful with your wallet.

Overall a lovely experience - bit pricey for the quality of food which was good but not exceptional. Noise was very bad. I asked for wall seating and was kindly accommodated. We'd repeat the visit but not very often.

Cafe Cluny continues to be one of our favorite places for a great place full of interesting people wonderful wait staff and excellent food. They had excellent specials for this fun day all of which were perfect from the hot cocktail to the heart shaped ravioli with heart cut outs of beets and ending with superb chocolate truffles! Thanks for a special time!

The Cafe Cluny is a West Village treasure still worthy of its reputation. It's a cozy establishment that specializes in French cuisine and you better make a reservation in advance; it's always packed. I love the French Onion soup, the burgers and frites--also the seafood is always fresh and well prepared. I live in the neighborhood and it is one of my good-to places. Bravo.

Very good food and service in the lovely West Side, but noise level inside makes it difficult to have a conversation

What a lovely restaurant and meal to enjoy on my 39th birthday! I went with the Tempranillo wine, an order of 6 oysters, and garganelli pasta that was absolutely delicious! A very cozy and warm seat right next to the window, this was an evening I will never forget!🙏🏼
