"Ambiance is extremely cozy and conducive to conversation. The wealth of exterior seating is evocative of Parisian sidewalk cafés, but may require a reservation. Staff were so conscientious of patron comfort that my appreciation of the many wall-hung works of art was twice mistaken as me tacitly requesting service. All that said, I found both the salad and the day's vegetables to be excessively oiled and buttered, respectively."

"Food is great. Ordered oysters (very fresh and juicy, especially the west ones), Cobb salad (I like the meat, avocado and goat cheese), short ribs (very tender), and crème brulee (wonderful texture 🤩)."

"Thank you, Barbette, for being a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. We moved nearby during Covid and you have been a constant for quality food, cocktails, champagne, and outdoor seating. And you are true to everything that a classic French bistro should be. Today's Croque Madame was a real surprise — the best we've ever had. The Salad Nicoise is consistently good; today's tuna addition was especially fresh and yummy!"

"Decent food but overpriced. Typical for uptown. Interacting with customers in a dining room setting should demand a certain degree of personal hygiene and I think employees should be required to present themselves in a manner consistent with the environment they are working in. Is that weird? Am I just too old? Maybe, but for me It's not "edgy" it's offputting"

"Amazing food and service. It was on a busy Friday evening that we went there. Didnt have to wait too long for our food though. Food was so good! Worth every penny spent!"
