Consistently excellent food and great service. Classic French bistro food (like a great steak frittes and excellent duck breast), really good classic cocktails, and a nice wine selection. Were also super nice to our dog when we ate outside. Rapidly becoming my go to neighborhood spot.

Everything about this place was perfect. A little hidden gem, when our plans fell through on our anniversary dinner date, I found this place and booked the reservation online. Service and food were great. Perfect place for our little anniversary dinner, and they were so accommodating to food allergies ???? and the little pot for the potatos was so cute ❤️

Had our anniversary dinner at Chez Francis. The ambience is very sophisticated but relaxing. The service was impeccable and thoughtful (asked if we had any allergies before handing out menu) and we enjoyed our server’s energy! We got an unexpected anniversary greeting on our dessert plate as well. The food is also delicious and generously portioned. Really recommend everyone to try Chez Francis!

Great food and service, some of the better French onion soup I’ve had in a while!

Chez Francis is a lovely French restaurant in the heart of Murray Hill. They occupy the former Les Halles spot that I frequented for many years in the early 2000's. The service was excellent and friendly without being intrusive. We enjoy dining at a leisurely pace as the restaurant is still pretty new and had plenty of availability. I assume will change as more people find out about it.

For starters, we chose two cheeses (Comte and Camembart) with duck and fig terrine which was prob the best terrine I've had. My sister also ordered the escargot which had a delicious garlic sauce. For mains, I went with the canard with cherry sauce and her the Bouef Bourguignon.

The duck was prepared perfectly at medium and was not sinewy, which is usually the case at many places I've dined at. However, the star of the evening was the Bourguignon. It was so tender and flavourful, and I could drink the sauce without the accompanying mashed potatoes. We ended with the souffle which was on the house. I personally could have used a bit more sugar as it tasted a bit too eggy.

I can't wait to get back to Chez Francis to try their other dishes as this is such a lovely (and necessary) French restaurant in this part of the city.

We had a really good time and the food was amazing
Just a little request for the next time less salt on the Boeuf bourguignon it was too too salty
The ambiance the waiter the food everything was perfect
Try the Soufflé for you appetizer and dessert you won't regret it
Nous allons y retourner c'est une certitude

The food was, of course, fantastic, and the wine selection paired beautifully. The steak au poivre was served flambe, a wonderful presentation which caught the attention (and envy!) of everyone nearby.

This is my favorite French bistro in NYC. Delicious food, with extraordinary steak tartare, but many other great dishes too. Excellent cocktails.

French restaurant. Authentic style and great menu. We had several soufflé with our meal and it was special. This is a favorite for lunch or dinner

We loved the service, the atmosphere, the cocktails and the desserts.

Only the very smallest complaints!

Bread and butter: I was really hoping for a richly flavored French butter, perhaps something tangy and cultured even. Unfortunately we got just flat grocery store style butter.

Le Canard: Almost perfect! Needed a bit more salt.

Beouf Bourguignon: Salted a bit too much, in order to balance well with the not-salty pomme puree. Portion of puree was too small, so the remainder of the stew was very salty.

Das Essen war sehr gut, und Patrick hat uns an diesem Abend wirklich sehr gut betreut. Ich werde das Restaurant auf jeden Fall nochmal besuchen.

Great restaurant, awesome atmosphere and great service, we loved it all. Awesome appetizers. Tart with mushrooms and lardon, tuna tartar and foie gras were great. For the main dish we had beef bourguignon, the beef was good but the sauce was a little bit watery for my taste, I think it would be much better if it was reduced a little more before serving. Other than that everything was great, the manager was really nice and corrected the mistake on the spot, very professional.

Superb and classic. Every course was phenomenal. Will try to bring friends to this place. The atmosphere is amazing and I highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere and decor, with tables not on top of each other.
For a French bistrot style, the food is good.
I have been twice which is enough at present.
Looking for new places.

Classic French cuisine in Rose Hill. It's the complete package but the package doesn't come cheap. We've gone several times and are looking forward to returning.

Fabulous food and service. I felt like I was in Paris! Definitely will be coming back. Jason was beyond incredible with his service, treated us like family.

Had an early dinner here, so there weren’t a lot of people until an hour or so in. The food was fantastic. The service was great. I highly recommend getting the duck. The tuna tartare has avocado and should not be missed.

5* service but food was not special
We booked this restaurant because of the strong reviews on google. We are beginning to lose confidence with google as we did with yelp.
The staff was fabulous and attentive.
The food was just not special in any way with the exception of the escargot. The onion tart was overcooked and I could barely slice into it. The dark brown crust scattered over the plate. We both had the restaurant week menu. Neither the fish nor the meat dish offered wowed us.
We had an $80 cab/frank which is a $22 bottle of wine. The wine list is too expensive.

Incredibly disjointed service. We had so many different people at our table we were asked 4 times if we'd like dessert. On top of the service being poor, the food was subpar. The escargot for example were flavorless and lukewarm. I frequent many restaurants of high caliber and when you're charging 45+ for most entrees with so many other options out there you really must do better. Final note: The place was empty on a Saturday night so there was genuinely no excuse.

I booked a reservation to celebrate one milestone with my boyfriend and left as his fiancé. Everything about this experience was magical! As soon as we walked in, they informed us that they had their “most romantic table” ready for us. It was the absolute truth!

The ambience, the food, the music, and most importantly the service made for the dinner of my lifetime! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Visited Chez Francis with my wife and another couple this past Saturday evening. We had a great experience. We all shared a few hors d'oeuvres and each had our own entrée. Everyone was very happy with the quality and presentation of the food. Our server Jason was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

We had a fantastic dinner at Chez Francis, including the Raclette soufflé as a shared opener, all the way to the Grand Marnier soufflé to finish our meal. Beautiful space, great menu, friendly, attentive service and the food was superlative.
