Excellent dining experience at Jacques Brassiere this evening. I enjoyed duck confit with polenta and creme brulee for dessert. My guests enjoyed roasted chicken, tuna tartare and salads. The table was large, comfortable and well positioned for both lovely views and conversation. Service was superb. Thank you.

What a lovely Christmas dinner! The food is always dependably delicious, beautifully plated, and served with warmth and genuine attention to detail. I never tire of eating here. Hidden on a small side street and tucked back a bit from the sidewalk, it escapes the notice of passersbys strolling on First Avenue. Almost like a speakeasy, you have to “know” to go there. I almost want to keep this place to myself but it is such a gem and deserves to be recognized as one of the best restaurants in NYC, not just on the UES.

I am not a restaurant critic, not by a long shot, but I think the dinner was delicious, the service very very good, and the noise level reasonable.
