   I’ve loved this restaurant forever! We always come for Thanksgiving because it’s legit the best deal in town.

   Food is delicious. Best onion soup in NY. We have been coming here since it opened more than 20 years ago, and it only improves.

   Food is amazing and stellar service. Loud, cramped, lots of tourists. Try to get a booth against a wall.

   We enjoy the food and the atmosphere of L'Express. The service is fine. This was brunch which is very good and reasonable for the quality. What annoyed me about this request is that I had to go through double authentication to give an opinion. I almost just closed it out with a review. If authentication is for something I want or is important to me, authentication is OK. If it's something for you, double authentication is a nuisance and will reduce your responses unless I have a complaint. Personally, while brunches are very good, it's harder to get an excellent than it is for dinner. Thank you. I have no otherchanges to suggest as far as brunch. We will definitely be back.

   Thank you, David, for the kind review. We're glad you had a great brunch with us and hope to have you back soon. I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty with OpenTable. To my understanding, that is an OpenTable function - not something that we can adjust. I'll look further into it, though. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! Thor Oren - General Manager

   Food is always consistently good. Service is spot on. Ask for Carmen section she is the best server!

   Bloody Mary was sooo watered down, definitely not worth it. Food was average for NYC brunch. Place is cute and maybe when slower, better service and food quality. Skip a busy brunch.

    The food was ok but the restaurant is so loud that it's just not a pleasant experience . I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
