What People Are Saying
from Google"Little Prince is always a great spot if you are lucky enough to get a table. Monday is usually a quieter night especially it you arrive at an off hour. The place has remained charming and intimate over the years. If you want to gossip the next table will definitely hear you. Tonight we opted for sitting at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and made a great martini with perfect olives. The menu is on the small side but enough to choose from. We shared the branzino, French onion burger and the ratatouille. My friend preferred the burger and funny enough I liked the fish better. The fries were great, a little more on the done side with just a hint of salt. The ratatouille is prepared cubed style and alittle crunchy. I much rather the ingredients sliced so it's more of a softer medley. Best to make reservations, especially if you are more than 2 people."
"My friend and I were screamed at by a waiter here. Although the food is good, I would recommend you go to Kyma for better treatment, better food, and the same late night experience. My gluten free friend had asked if the burger could be made gluten free (as many recent posts on food blogs said it could be). The waiter told us “no burgers tonight”. She asked if they were all out and he said yes. It wasn’t a big deal and we ordered steak frites instead. We enjoyed our meal but noticed that other tables were getting the burger. One of our other friends asked the waiter why so many burgers were being made if they were all out. He then stomped over to my friend and I, the two gluten free people in the group, and started loudly insisting he had simply told us the burger couldn’t be made gluten free, even though everyone at the table thought he said they were out of the burger. We tried to have a respectful conversation with him about it (we’ve worked in the service industry and are pretty forgiving of mistakes). Instead of just apologizing for the confusion and ending the conversation, he started to scream at us for being confused. I point blank asked him “why are you yelling at me right now?” And pointed out that we had enjoyed the meal we did have so it wasn’t that serious. He screamed that it was because I “would not be blaming this on him” and stormed away. I did not interact with him for the rest of the night, largely because I was uncomfortable. I’m a student so a meal like this was a splurge for me and I really wish I was treated with basic respect. There’s no world in which it’s professional or acceptable for a waiter to yell at customers."
"To start with the positive, we were in and out in under an hour. But to be honest, we did not feel the need to linger given the subpar food, atmosphere, and service. There is absolutely no notion of hospitality. The hostess lacks affect and has no business being in a service-facing field. We were asked repeatedly to move our seats closer into our tiny table, which was already crowded with out winter coat and bags. When we asked to move to a booth, the hostess refused insisting that there was a party coming in. None arrived in the entire hour we were there. The stuffy attitudes and loud music made a tiny space feel even smaller. As for the food itself: except for the burger, the entire menu lacked the same finesse. I am currently nursing soda water and anti-acid trying to clean up the disaster that was the chicken dish. The menu says it's chicken, but if you close your eyes, you'll swear you're eating two breast-sized pieces of garlic. That was the only flavor which was odd because they promised salsa verde, which they said was actually an herb medley. I indeed saw the greens but I couldn't taste them or the chicken. Just garlic. Mountains and mountains of garlic. The French soup was exciting at first bite but unfortunately disappointed thanks to the cheese atop which not bubbly, not golden, but subtly burnt as though it was sprinkled with cinders. The special ravioli was soaked in an orange lemon sauce that would have been more appropriate for vanilla ice cream. Cocktails were tiny, and the lemonade had an interesting lemon to sugar ratio: all sugar, a bit of lemon, and a rogue seed. Hey, at least it was made in house. This restaurant is great if you don't really care for good tasting food and need somewhere to sit for no more than 60 minutes."
"Little Prince is a cozy French bistro in SoHo with a great traditional menu and friendly staff (in cute uniforms with the French colors!). The food is very tasty—the Tuna tartar was a favorite. I really liked that they offered some specials (for dessert) which not a lot of French places do. The cocktails and drinks were also great - they have a really nice bar where you can sit at. The atmosphere is relaxed the only drawback is that it's quite a small place, so it can be tight on space. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family and I would go back in a heartbeat."
"They tumbled from first to worst.. Seated our reservation for 2 After similar parties arriving later and then devoted their primary attention to an adolescent birthday party. With so many kids to take care of, with the food quality was mediocre too."
