    Waiting for 45 min after our res, when I inquired about seating, the hostess said there were 4 reservations ahead of us and advised that we should cancel our res and come another day. Pretty insulting and disrespectful. Luckily we were accommodated upstairs at La Serre because of an incredible Manager. There are hundreds of better places in the city, don’t bother with Bar La Rue.

    Superior food; lively atmosphere. Not a space for a quiet, intimate dinner but just right for our celebratory mood.

    There during Restaurant Week. Julian served as primary rep of the team. He and team took great care about meal and made sure the steak frites came out at perfect temperature. Lot's of energy even during the early part of the eveneing.

    We were there for brunch. The yogurt parfait and French toast were memorable. The service was not good which significantly detracted from the overall experience.

    We had a great experience. The ambience is awesome. The food is really good and Noah, our waiter is great. Would’ve been 5 stars But I’m really aggravated we were talked into paying with the QR code and were charged an extra $9 to do it without being told! Not cool and deceptive!
