    Our dinner at La Rivage was great. No problem getting a reservation, seated promptly, wait staff was pleasant and service was swift but not obnoxious. Our meals were well presented and very tasty, authentic bistro fare. The only “complaint” would be that the room temperature could have been a little warmer. This will be our “go to” in the Theater District from now on.

    The dinner was absolutely delicious, and not the usual restaurant fare. The warm rolls and butter and oil started us off beautifully. We were thrilled with the recommendation for the skate. It was cooked so perfectly with lentils and spinach. I had never had this before, but I will definitely be going back to Marseille to have it again. Additionally, the bouillabaisse was outstanding!
