Went to Lucien’s for a night cap with friends. It was busy and a fun atmosphere we even saw Sebastian Bear-McClard there with his friends. Although it was packed at 1130 pm, the food and drinks still came out very quickly. The food was delicious and the drinks here are strong. Although a bit pricey, the menu here is worth it and the vibes are great.

Charming little french restaurant. The space is quite narrow inside, so be prepared to share some space with other people while you dine. Our servers were really friendly. Highlights were the grilled sardines, duck confit, and tart tatin for dessert. The arugula salad was ok, if you wanted some greens, but nothing that special at that price point. Price point is a bit high.

Lucien is a charming French restaurant located in the heart of New York City. From the moment you walk in, you are transported to a cozy and romantic atmosphere, with dim lighting and elegant decor.

Came for brunch on a Saturday for two people. As many reviewers have said, expect a line.

We were so overwhelmed with how good the food here was. Traditional french food in a small cozy restaurant with lots of locals and french customers. Highly recommend this place and I would go back here everytime I get to NYC

This is everything I love about France and Paris tucked into a cozy space with a few street-side tables and a first come first serve bar. Drinks are classically done along with stellar dishes. I come here for dinner every time I visit NYC.

Great vibe – it’s a cute little restaurant with trendy music and crowd. Awesome food – we loved the duck liver pate and duck confit cassoulet.

4.5. Great vibe, bustling bar, great service, good food. Really fun, old-school space with a large menu. All of the French classics are on here- many fish and meat options. Highlight of the meal was the appetizer shrimp!

The food is great. But the service is bad. I understand it’s Friday night and it’s busy, but the staff here are way too pushy. When we just sat down, the waitress came over directly asking what we would like to drink. When we were still waiting for our entrees, another waitress came over asking what we would like for dessert. When I was still having the last bite of my food, the guy came over wanting to take away my plate. And then the waitress came over immediately again asking me whether I needed desserts. Horrible service experience that actually ruined the great food here.
