The new Madame is outstanding! Service was incredible our server Amanda was perfection, the cocktails were delicious, and the environment is warm and welcoming. The food was ridiculously good-- the bone marrow, escargot, and profiteroles are a must try. They did such an amazing job making this restaurant modern and upscale. Definitely visit here!
Nice environment and friendly staff. Service wasn't great during brunch and portions were really really small .I left hungry. A bit disappointing as dinner once was way better and tasty, with good portions and service. Wouldn't repeat for brunch for sure. But I would go again for dinner.
The ambiance of this little French restaurant is wonderful! Greeted by and sat by the owners, I felt welcomed right away. It IS very cozy, and you'll be sitting tightly close to other patrons, but I didn't mind. They had a few outdoor seating street-side, or in their dimly lit dining room. The menu has some wonderful French options and specials - a little something for everyone. I would say the prices are mid-range. The food itself was good and tasty, but the portions are somewhat small. The wait staff was also attentive and knowledgeable and we had frequent visits by the owner who was in the thick of the action, helping clear tables, talking about the specials, speaking with and interacting with guests. You could tell he truly loves what he does and the patrons certainly seem to react in kind. As we were leaving, the wife partner of the owner duo bid us farewell with sincere thanks for coming. I will tell you that just the experience I had with the owners and their kindness and love for the industry would keep me coming back to Madame Claude Bis. Truly a class act! Thank you for having us!!
Glad I found this spot. It's downstairs, and has a rustic raw brick decor. In a good way, the experience seemed simple and laid back. Much like the staff and their chill approach. However, the salmon dish I ordered was anything but simple. It had a great mixture of textures and flavors. It definitely seems like a lot when you look at it, but every fork-full is a culinary adventure. My wife loved her lavender cocktail and I had the house wine.
Enchanté Madame Claude Bis. 5 stars for a delightful Easter Brunch. The entire staff was very nice and accommodating. The Madame came out herself to greet us and snap a photo. Half of our brunch party was late due to NY train issues but the MCB staff kindly sat the punctual half regardless and served us drinks while we waited and took Yelp pics. The Escargot appy is a must try. The dish was délicieux. Bread dipping was addictive. After a couple mimosa rounds and snacking on the apps the main dishes arrived in perfect timing. It was like they were catering specifically towards us. We all enjoyed our meals. My Baked Egg Ratatouille était parfait, the sauce was savory, the veggies were soaked in flavor and baked with a slight crisp covered with a baked egg on top, yummz! If you haven't been here in awhile, they now have full bar!
Madame Claude was excellent tonight - our first and certainly not our last time here. I love the vibe of this place. Come here before your concert at White Eagle Hall -- it's just around the corner. Highly recommend the french onion soup a number of people had it at the bar, duck paté dish and the duck confit. Service was good and the cocktails are strong! Will need to come back on a live music night and/or for brunch.
SAFE Review Service: Was very good. Waitress was very attentive, always checking upon us, ensuring we were taken care of. The manager probably also the owner also interact personally with the customers. Ambience: The restaurant had outside seating at street level, but was itself located in the basement. It was very crowded and they have tried to maximize utilization of every space they had. We were provided a table just off the bar, next to the entrance door. The lighting was poor and the room dark. Food: was okay, ordinary. Nothing that made me smack my lips or made me want to go back and try. Presentation was good. Experience: was okay. Not enough of a wow factor to make me want to go back there again. It's a good place to hangout with family. Ensure you have reservations made for your table.
Cassoulet was phenomenal, the broth was divine. This is truly a French gem discovered many years ago. I will always make the trip from NYC for it.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: YesDelivery: NoCurbside pickup: No
I brought my friends here to celebrate my birthday and everything was beyond expectations. The meat is incredible, the duck confit was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, paired with a sweet cranberry sauce. So delicious! I don't like lamb very much but I tried the lamb shank! OMG! It falls off the bone and it doesn't taste like lamb. Same for the escargot. I had them for the first time and they were sooooo good. Our server was the best, so friendly and knowledgeable about every item on the menu. Best experience ever!
The food was so amazing. Drinks were also excellent, amazing lychee martini. We also splurged and got dessert and it was excellent. Loved the ambiance too on Thursday night with the live music.
