One of my favorite memories of NYC. Was sublime. Had the rack of lamb and peach Melba for dessert. I hope they re-open. The romance of the place was intense!!

Wonderful food. Server was very kind. People seem to dress up (men w/ ties, women in nice blouses or dresses), but no one commented on our more casual dress. Seemed to be frequented by a number of regulars, but the server attended to us as well. Just make sure to catch her attention when you want to order or get the check.

This place is like a time capsule. It is a throwback to the days when a fancy meal meant French food. That said, I have had mostly positive experiences at this place. I have seen the owner be a bit temperamental, but I have never personally experienced this (but I speak French so that may be why). Please do yourself a favor and look at the menu online and do a bit of research on exactly what is what. i think the misunderstandings between owner and patron are due to people not knowing what they are ordering. for example, I saw a couple get quite upset when they ordered steak tartare and realized it was chopped raw steak (its very tasty by the way) a little bit of research would have gone a long way in this case. That being said, I would recommend this place. Just do your homework.

My boyfriend and I have had many lunches here and love the old school ambiance of the decor, and the classic menu. Bistro standards. We enjoy chatting with Cathy when she has the time. One night we walked over from Lincoln Center hoping to make it in time for a late dinner, but we knew before we arrived that they would be closed. Enjoying the walk, we continued on, and when we arrived Cathy noticed us on the sidewalk and came out to say hello. I’ve talked to longtime regulars at the bar, and they tell me that they feel like family.

This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant in New York, and something of both a treat and refuge for the sensibilities of those who remember a more gracious era of hospitality and cuisine. The food is absolutely marvelous as the classic French menu goes, really quite scrumptious and I could dine here nightly; but with it the proprietess Cathy Treboux, comely and erudite, who presides over the dining room like only the most impeccable hostesses know how, and who adds a fragrance of tradition and romance to the art of dining that is simply nonpareil. Nothing else in New York comes close to the evocation of everything I value as the Veau d’Or.

The owner Catherine Treboux is incredibly rude. I will never go back to this place again. She physically pushed me out of her restaurant when I politely inquired about a dog chained up for hours in freezing rain and snow outside her restaurant. Apparently, it must be hers because of the way she acted. I work for a prominent company in the area and frequently hold events at local restaurants, but will ensure that no one from our company ever goes here.

This place is very old school French. This might put some people off, but I find it very charming. They have all of the old school classics: rognons, isles flotante, etc so if you’re not into things like that, you will be dissapointed. Tables are small and the restaurant can get crowded so go early or late if you value your personal space.

I waited many years to visit, only to be snubbed by the host/owner. Very small personal space and my wife and I were ignored by the hostess, the original owner’s daughter. It’s no wonder the heyday of Le Veau d’Or has passed when new customers are treated rudely. Food was prepared well, servers did their jobs but the experience was greatly diminished by such behavior.

Our favorite restaurant in NYC by far! The menu never disappoints & the atmosphere truly French. The escargots & chocolate mousse are outstanding as is every course in between!!

Had booked a reservation there for lunch tomorrow. Tried to call today and ask if we cold increase our reservation to 5 from 4. the woman who answered the phone proceeded to yell at my employees and tell them this could not happen. She then hung up the phone on all 3 of us each time we call. In working for a prominent magazine in NYC and having the publisher hosting several influential people for a lunch meeting – I have NEVER been spoken to this way before. I will make sure that everyone I know knows not to come to this restaurant, and I highly suggest that you get someone to answer the phones who is not as unstable as this woman. i wish that I could have tried the food, but since I couldn’t even get past the front door, I guess I will never know.
