    The service is always outstanding—far above what you’d find in most fine restaurants Cocktails are balanced and delicious. Very nice wine list. Delicious food

    This is your first time at Bar Pigalle and the ambience was A+. Service was amazing. Price point was pretty comparable to other restaurants in the area. I would say that the food could’ve been better. Our New York trip was on the dry side, our baked brie a touch too salty side and the risotto not enough salt. The idea behind the flavor profiles of the foods listed are good. The menu is a lot smaller than I anticipated.   behind the flavor profiles of the foods listed are good.

    We shared the beet salad, the baked Brie and each ordered the steelhead trout. It was all very good and we are planning to return for brunch in the near future. The service was impeccable and we both enjoyed our time at Bar Pigalle.

    My first time here for Sunday brunch and I have to say I will be back! I can’t remember the name of our waiter, he was a older gentleman with white fox hair. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu We ordered the short rib hash and the burger. Both were very tasty and fresh!

    Adam is a phenomenal waiter! I initially planned to do the tasting menu, but my party preferred the regular menu option. Appetizers were not as good as I anticipated. We ordered the steak tartare and dozen oysters. I have had way better. Steak tartare was mediocre at best (I would definitely recommend adjusting the recipe). Oysters tasted “fishy” to me. And if you are a seafood fanatic you understand what I mean. The other two in my party didn’t mind them. It was very loud which is understandable for a small place, but it was difficult to hold conversations at our table. We were going to order dinner but I had to leave. So we didn’t get anything else. Lastly, I was told that their drinks and burgers are delicious and your best option. I would probably come back to try that and still ensure I request Adam as our waiter!

    We went family-style at Bar Pigalle, and it was the best way to experience what this place has to offer. The menu is packed with creative, French-inspired dishes perfect for sharing. We started with Caviar, Hamachi Crudo, and Steak Tartare—light and beautifully presented. The Mushroom Gratin was rich and satisfying. For mains, we had Mussels, Duck Confit, and Saffron Risotto—all thoughtfully crafted. Dessert was Crème Brûlée, Blood Orange Cheesecake, and Pumpkin Gâteau, with the Pumpkin Gâteau as the standout. It was fun trying a bit of everything, and the food was genuinely good. That said, it’s not somewhere I’d visit all the time. The portions are small, and while the experience was solid, it didn’t leave me craving a return visit. Still, it’s worth keeping in your rotation for special nights out or to mix things up occasionally.
