French Roast

French Roast is a delight for food, drink, and atmosphere. We Ate brunch at around 1030 AM. Everything was delicious! The Brioche French Toast was light and sweet and the fruit compote added the perfect amount of tart to the meal. The Shakshuka is delightful and full of spices! The Mezcla sausage tastes great, but be-warned it is spicy! The cappuccino was Great! The tight cozy feel with the vibration from the subway passing beneath gives this restaurant that NYC ambiance that’s second to none. Whether you’re a local or visiting Manhattan for the first time this is a great place to stop and eat!

Steph was such a great server! Super friendly, helpful with the menu, and always checking in to make sure we were enjoying everything. She made our dinner even better. Would absolutely love to have her as our server again.

Came her for Saturday brunch with some friends. The restaurant is styled as a classic French brasserie and had lots of outdoor seating. The French onion soup and croque madames were perfection. We ate every last bite. Only negative was that one friend had an omelet that wasn’t cooked long enough for the cheese to melt. Overall, the food was delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be going back to try more!

Such a feel good place. We also had the nicest waitress, Maria Alejandra. She had the best energy and was so careful to make sure we got exactly what we ordered. Feels like a little European bistro tucked into the upper west side of New York. Perfect place to meet a friend, spend a rainy afternoon or a Sunday morning. Had such a nice time! Food came out fast and was lovely. Went back again and had the most sincere careful waiter David. He is the nicest person and we had a lovely brunch! Thank you David you are incredible and so warm and wonderful.

Food was ok (home fries were not warm) but plates were warm. Staff were very attentive and friendly. It was a windy day so the window seats were a bit cold. If you can, stay away from the window seatings
