I hidden gem absolutely fantastic. I’m hesitant to write this review because I don’t want this place to get too popular that I can’t get a table.

This place is an incredible French bar! ?? Excuse My French offers a fantastic selection of cocktails ? and alcoholic drinks ? alongside cheeses ?, meat ?, classic French dishes ?️, and delicious ? small plates! Definitely get their charcuterie board with Fromager d'Affinois and Gruyere cheese, sausages ?, cornichon pickles ? , and sliced baguette! ? They also have nice selection of international beers! ?The staff ?‍? is super friendly and professional, service is quick ⏲️, ambience ? is amazing, and the place is beautifully decorated! ?️ This spot is pretty small and has limited seating so make a reservation ?️ (even though we we're able to just walk ?‍♂️ in and grab seats). I wish I knew about this place earlier!

Inside feels like another time period with beautiful decor. It’s very small and it felt crowded easily. The host was in a rush although not many people were there. I was seated at the bar which was okay for a solo eater. They had their winter menu for Restaurant week. I ordered a Moulin Rouge (not included in restaurant week), escargot, duck confit and chocolate coulant. The drink was well mixed and the bartender was pleasant. The escargot seasoning was okay. The duck confit had a cold part near the middle. Overall If you’ve never had French food this place would be nice but if you’ve had it before chances are you wouldn’t come back. I spent around $95 that evening.

The bar is very cute! The vibe is good, and the bartender was nice, though understandably too busy to engage beyond our order. The drinks were expensive, but mediocre. I had a "It's the Great Pumpkin Daquiri, Charlie Brown" and my partner had the "Moulin Rouge," both rum cocktails with alluring promise from the words on the menu. Both drinks ultimately fell flat. They seemed thin or diluted in general, though specifically the Pumpkin Daquiri was much sweeter than expected (nothing indicating syrup or sugar on the menu) and the Moulin Rouge was lacking flavor and felt uninspired. We decided not to stay for another drink. The 3-star rating for food is really for drinks, as we did not have any food (just came for after-dinner drinks).

Absolutely love this bar, it’s so cozy and the drinks are fantastic. During the holidays they also have some of the most beautiful decor which adds such a nice feel.

Nice find in the East Village. Tucked down a few stairs is a long narrowish, cozy, French stylish spot. Good craft cocktails and tasty tapas. Was quaint but the space was filled with good
