Lucien New York Reviews from The Last Year
Authentic French Bistro
Been there many years ago. Third time dining there. Deliciously consistent French cuisine. As if the chef never left! Filet mignon au Poivre, muscles with butter base sauce, French fries (of course) salads, and above all, extremely well priced for the food and wines in an authentic French bistro experience table to table packed restaurant. Friendly service. Happy to see an establishment maintaining the standard for so many years for us to enjoy. Full of young people as restaurant stays open quite late. Loved it!
We have been going to Lucien for 20+ years and it is always
We have been going to Lucien for 20+ years and it is always a favorite spot in NYC. The food is always amazing, although the prices have doubled in that time. It can be loud, but the servers are always friendly, attentive, and make sure you have a great time. There are a few tables on the sidewalk for small groups. Highly recommend the Lapin á la Moutarde or the Filet Mignon au Poivre
We called ahead of time to make sure that we could be
We called ahead of time to make sure that we could be seated if we walked in, and they told us that they could accommodate us. We notified them that we would be arriving in 5 minutes and we put our name down on the waitlist. When we arrived they told us that we had to further wait around 20-30 mins. We didn't mind waiting since we were walk ins, but what was worst than the wait was other parties that were also a couple walk ins were able to be sat before us. We informed our waitress that we won't be taking long and ordering a lot since we had reservations elsewhere after dinner. So our dinner consisted of the tartare and the Lapin. She didn't seem satisfied with the order trying to persuade us into ordering more. After the food was brought out, no further service was provided to us. For the food, the lapin was extremely salty compared to other rabbit dishes I had at other French restaurants. The price is fair compared to other restaurants. The space inside the restaurant is extremely small. We sat along the wall with couches, and there were two other parties next to us, extremely close to the point that we can eavesdrop into their conversation.
Excellent but not economical
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Both the food and rinks were good. My only issue was the cost; I thought everything was a tad overpriced. The next night four of us went to Marseille (on 9th - excellent) and had almost the same meal and it was $100 less?
As a long time patron of Lucien I'm extremely upset at how
As a long time patron of Lucien I'm extremely upset at how last night's experience went. I booked a large party reservation for my birthday well over a month ago only to find out on my way there that they had incorrectly written the wrong date down. I get it, my family is in the industry so I know mistakes like this can happen. I let it slide in the hopes that they'd be able to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I had. My party was reassured we'd be getting a table in "the next few minutes" repeatedly for two hours while we sat at the bar waiting. The icing on the apparent cake from hell was when the bartender carrying a glass rack to the bar slammed me in the back of the head with the rack and gave me a shoddy apology while laughing. I was offered a glass of champagne as if that would solve the laundry list of never ending issues and a whole one round of drinks were eventually taken off the bill. If this ever happened in my family's restaurants, the entire bill would have been comped no question. I am aware restaurants of a certain repertoire like Lucien rarely care about single party experiences from people unless they carry at least a sliver of notoriety, but as a longstanding customer, I'm genuinely sad that my love for what once was my favorite restaurant in Manhattan completely ruined what was supposed to be a day of celebration in a place that I adored with my closest friends.
Wish I could give this restaurant 0/5 stars.
Made a birthday reservation 3 months in advance and upon arrival we were told that they had "made a mistake" and booked us for the day after. Upon arrival we were greeted with nothing close to hospitality but they assured us that if we waited by the bar we would be sat within 10-15 minutes. We were not sat for 2 hours. I asked for a manager several times and was assured he would "be out shortly" but unfortunately he never showed up. It wasn't until I asked an entirely different staff member that I was told "we have no manager". At this point I asked for an owner and/ or any sort or managerial staff member but once again I was given the run around. On top of our 2+ hour wait at the bar (for a table booked months ago) and by bar I mean I service hallway.)) my friend whom also happened to be the birthday girl, who made the initial reservation, was struck in the head by a passing servers tray. Once I called for the manager and owner a final time, staff told me I could call between the hours of 10am-12pm. One round of drinks were comped which is appreciated however I will never return to this establishment for any reason. I was embarrassed and I was a guest.
I love this place, i've been coming here often on and off
I love this place, i've been coming here often on and off for many years. It's always crazy, so you have to deal with it but once she gets sit down, it's big time fun featuring good wine and good food, and great service. It's a very authentic French bistro so get the oysters and get the steak frites and you'll be happy and smart. They have bouillabaisse and other great French dishes too, and they are done quite well.
Wonderful dinner, count on waiting for your table but the
Wonderful dinner, count on waiting for your table but the food is worth waiting for, attentive service, everyone is very welcoming. Lively crowd! The braised short ribs were perfect for a cool spring evening!
Lucien is one of my favorite restaurants in New York but I
Lucien is one of my favorite restaurants in New York but I still give it a 4/5. I come here almost every time I'm in the city because I love the small cafe atmosphere. The look and vibe of the space with its small bar, tight tables, yellow walls with crowded artwork and photos feels like you're in France. They take reservations by phone only and I recommend you make one as this is a popular place. The service has always been great and comes with bread service once you order food. They have some classic French cocktails and a satisfactory wine selection. The food is good but not amazing. I often get a steak while there and they do a good job cooking it but it's not the best steak I've ever had. They probably could use a more indulgent butter to give it that French finish. The steak comes with au poivre, which is a cream and black pepper sauce. If the steak were a bit tastier or a bit more affordable, I could see giving Lucien a 5/5. Still, Lucien makes a great date night spot or dinner with a small group. Prices are a bit higher than I'd like but you're paying for the atmosphere.
Very small sceny restaurant in east village.
Really good cocktails and a good bar scene. Again, it's tiny with not a lot of room to stand so a bar seat is ideal. The French onion soup is also really good. I suggest coming here to see for yourself!
Beware of this deceiving restaurant that charges you one
Beware of this deceiving restaurant that charges you one amount when they swipe your card in front of you and another charge after you leave without your authorization. It seems like this is how this crooked restaurant operates based on someone else's review with a similar complaint last year in July. Be careful! When you contact management which happens to be the owner, they don't return your call. The waitresses and management are a bunch of delinquents who have no knowledge about the concept of customer service, honesty or hospitality. So many other worthwhile places to go to vs. being robbed! Spare yourself a horrible experience. Go somewhere else!

Fun fun fun
Fun, crowded, loud, delicious. Excellent service. We saw a celebrity there! It's not cheap but worth every dollar. No one roasts a chicken like the French.
This place used to be the absolute best.
Then Lucien retired and left his incompetent son in charge to destroy the place, and destroyed it is. The food and the vibe were the best in the city if you wanted excellent French food with a cool downtown vibe. Now, you get horrible and horribly overpriced food with the overcrowded ambiance of a Gen Z pickup joint, as the son's friends crowd in for free drinks. I guess it's fun if you're them but it's a shame that the food quality and ambiance for anyone over 22 had to go straight to Hell because of it. I guess nepo babies ruin restaurants too. If you used to go to this place for the 15 or so years where it was as good as downtown had to offer then you know exactly why what it has devolved into is so heartbreaking. Lucien, we miss you!!! Oh well, there's still the vestiges of Raoul's, if you can block out the investment bros blathering, for a bit of a reminder of what downtown used to be about.
Four thinly-measly sliced tuna slices for a Nicoise Salad
Four thinly-measly sliced tuna slices for a Nicoise Salad ($38). Usually, the raw tuna-slices are thicker cut like steak. The salad itself barely had any dressing. I had to ask a waitress for a side of dressing. This French bistro is extremely overpriced. At best, this Nicoise salad as presented should have costed $20. Maybe their overhead is too high? Anyway, I won't be returning. A glass of wine French wine ($17). $38 + $17 = $55 * 8.875 NYC sales tax = $59.81 Total: $60 + $10 tip equals to $70 for one person, and you're still hungry. If you're hungry, I do not recommend. You'll go broke here, and the Niçoise salad didn't taste amazing, and the temperature of the salad was quite cold. Shouldn't the salad be room temperature? I'd rather dine at Balthazar in SoHo. I would come here for the vibe and a few drinks. The waitresses are cute but who cares.
I want to be a regular here.
Fresh off my RAF's lunch I came to Lucien. I haven't dined here in decades but like Balthazar it serves food so reliably good in a magical room. Bread is fresh and plentiful & the most expensive red wine by the glass was $16. I felt immediately unrushed and welcome so I ordered a wine. $16 which was very good. Ate: Mesculin salad $11 Qual $28 The salad was generous and tasty. And my qual was a home run- wow. Cooked in a cherry sauce if was delectable. Old school is the best school.
Beautiful beautiful restaurant great ambience, however,
Beautiful beautiful restaurant great ambience, however, very "whatever food" We started with the sardines which were nice, and the escargot that lacked a little bit of flavor. I had the steak frites which was nice, large portion and my partner had the duck confit which he said it's the worst duck confit to ever come out of the kitchen. The skin was soggy, and it was completely under seasoned, and the sauce was underwhelming. Sorry martini were OK espresso martinis were OK service was good. Would come back for drinks and the ambience and maybe a few fries. Or potentially try other items off the menu.
*This review is for my experience with the owner's
*This review is for my experience with the owner's mother* I've been going to Lucien ever for many years, and I never in my life have been treated so disgustingly by a human being. I was having drinks with a friend at the bar tonight, and this older woman (the owner Zach's mom) comes up to us, screaming about my dog, and how we need to leave. She keeps accusing me that my dog is not a service dog and tells me that he's not trained and I as the owner I'm not trained either. She is screaming at me telling me that he's not a service dog and he can't be here which is ILLEGAL. This woman got in my face, was Violent and nasty and causing a scene in her own restaurant. I, as a patron was extremely calm. I did not deserve to be treated this way. I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with race either. I will never be coming back to this establishment again, and I am traumatized by this woman's behavior.
Not good
My recent visit to Lucien was nothing short of a disappointment. My friends and I were given a table in the farthest corner of the restaurant and felt coerced into ordering expensive items. The waitress displayed extreme rudeness, and to add insult to injury, we were hurried to vacate our table for another party while we were still eating. This experience was nothing short of horrible. Lucien's service and treatment of its customers were far from satisfactory.
The ambience is very lovely, but oh too crowded.
We were sat at a table close to the entry way and when people were coming in for their reservations their coats were brushing our table. It was also a bit rainy that night and my date had mentioned rain was getting on his back as the door opened. Very tight and not very organized, we waited about 35 min for our table and not much room to stand and have a drink while waiting. Tuna tartare was ok, bread service was below average. However the cod and steak au poivre was very enjoyable.
Lucien is a vibe.
If you come here you know you are coming for the ambiance more than the food. The food is good, but its not as good as you would expect for the price point. Its a restaurant filled with the posh Soho-ish (although its in the east village) scene of NYC, including models, attractive stylish people, a celeb or two, and people in the industry. If you are there for drinks at the bar then you are in the perfect place. The bar is small, and is usually full, but if you can grab a seat and just hangout then you won't be disappointed you did. Its a cozy spot, and cozy in NYC means very small, so you will be on top of others whether its at the bar, or dining in the restaurant, but in a weird way it is the right amount of people. There is a high price point on most drinks and food, so if you are looking for a really great french restaurant then I would come here for the drinks, and dine somewhere else.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
