    Bueno mi experiencia en el restaurante estuvo bueno tienen un servicio impecable des de que entras hasta que te vas. El lugar está muy lindo lo único que no vi bien es que el mesero terminó su turno y no nos avisó y estuvimos esperando por el mesero hasta que nos dejaron saber pero de lo contrario bueno el restaurante.

    We were looking for a French restaurant near our hotel and this was perfect. Without looking at any reviews, we picked this one to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. Le Rivage did not disappointment. The food, the service, the atmosphere was perfect. Our server Sunny was incredible - very attentive and took care of us for our 32nd wedding anniversary. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

    A classic French restaurant featuring everyone’s favorites: French onion soup, beef Bourguignon, coq au vin, even escargot (which may not be one of your favorites). Service was friendly and attentive. And they got us out in plenty of time to walk to the theater.

    Dining at Le Rivage is like Sunday dinner with your loved ones. From the warm greeting upon entering, attentive and personable service throughout the meal, and fun interactions with the staff result in a delightful experience. I love the menu offerings and the food is delicious. Been dining here for three decades and hope to continue for three more!

    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.
