Great food,, service and ambience.Love it. Usually our first dinner in New York. Close to the theater district. The mussels are great. I would hate to discredit any dish because I have probably enjoyed them all multiple times. Must try

We came here for a special event due to the French holiday of "La Chandeleur" or "Candlemas".This holiday is celebrated by eating a lot of crêpes! This restaurant is a hidden gem, it felt like you were transported to France the second you walked in. We were quite literally the only people in the place speaking English, all the workers and all of the customers were speaking French. And I absolutely loved it.As I am currently learning French, I broke through my nervousness and ordered completely in French, and ask and paid for the bill in French as well. The servers were very kind and let me practice and it all went well! The service in general was impeccable!Due to the special event there was a special menu for the crêpes but I believe they sell some of them on their normal brunch menu as well.The buckwheat crêpes we got opened up a new world for me. I've admittedly never been a huge fan of crêpes but these buckwheat ones changed my mind. They were crispy and all the ingredients feel fresh and just paired really well together. I couldn't decide which one I liked more.The Caramel and brown butter one was more similar to what I had in my head and it was also great with the caramel being the highlight!The americano and cappuccino were also drawn out very well and were satisfied with both!This place has a special place in my heart because I am attempting to learn French and this just made it a very special afternoon for me!

We came here yesterday after our matinee - and it was honestly great! The three of us ordered appetizers, drinks, entrees, and dessert. French onion soup was perfect. My mussels and fries - were perfection. They were perfectly cooked, and not even one grain of sand in the entire pot. The duck and the lamb entrees were both great - I was told. Creme brulee and chocolate mousse were both very good.The service, for the most part, was good. I am not giving them 5 stars because no one checked on us after any of our courses were served. The food was put down in front of us, and no one looked at us again until it was time to clear our plates. We'll come back if we're in the area again.

Amazing place! This is a French authentic restaurant with all French cuisine dishes you're used to. We got the duck and beef, both of which were amazing, it was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. For apps we got some snails and break to dip in the oil, so it was really filling. Snails come without a shell. At the end we also got a round of champagne on the house which was really sweet of them.

Just had the best night at Le Tout Vabien--a cozy French bistro right in the theater district! Super romantic vibes with warm lighting and friendly staff who make you feel at home. We kicked things off with their French onion soup (so good!) and the filet mignon was on another level. The Crepe Suzette? It literally came out flaming! If you're planning a night out, definitely book a spot because this place gets packed!

This place was full of Frenchy's which was a good sign! All the patrons I could hear were "Parle Francais.". Super quaint off the path ambience on 51st and 8th, close to the stuff but far enough away from the tourists. Great selection of French wines. Staff is french as far as I could tell .Beet salad was delicious, it actually looked like a beef tartare on presentation.Moules frites tasted like the ocean. The broth was so good!Dessert was the Tarte aux pommesAll good, give a try!

My friend and I came here for French Restaurant Week. This restaurant was opened since 1948 and was recently reopened under new management. The ambiance was a small and cozy restaurant. We started off with Muscarat and Moscow mule. Then, we followed up with escargots and mussels for appetizers. The escargots were really good. They were comparable to La Grande Boucherie and Bistro Eloise. We loved how the mussels were served and the portion was generous. The mussels were served with opened shells, which cut the work in half for the diner. For the entrees, we ordered the Filet Mignon and Halibut. Portions were generous, and somehow, I started feeling sick after consuming the Halibut. I ate the dish and took the rest home. After heating the leftovers the next day, I was fine. The dessert was personally the highlight of the evening. The crepe suzette is a must order. The presentation was awesome, but I was too full and not 100% to enjoy it, so I took that home where my husband devoured it. The dessert was literally soaked in Grand Marnier. My friend enjoyed her Profitteroles. The restaurant is offering the same prix fixe for restaurant week.

Although the cooking was good, I don't think we'd return. Our visit wasn't very pleasant or relaxing. The server didn't come by to ask if we wanted drinks, and when she finally did come in about fifteen minutes to take dinner orders, we had to ask if there were specials, which then she rattled off. We ordered, barely got in one person's wine glass order in when she walked away without getting the other person's. Wines by the glass were pricey ($17-19-ish) and came in smallish thick 99c store glasses with no room for aeration. Butter served with the bread was ice cold and hard. That kind of echoes our impression of the restaurant. Oh, also, the suggested % tips on the bill are calculated on top of tax.

French for everything is good. And it certainly is. Feels like you stepped into a bistro in Paris. Pictured here are shrimp with parsley and garlic butter, the TVB burger, and fries, and just about the best steak frites that I ever had.

Long overdue review for the one and only Tout Va Bien! It was a lovely chilly evening and we decided to dine here for my birthday. We had never been before and we were pleased by our experience. Very warm staff, excellent selection of classic French dishes. Our food was fabulous, hot and flavorful. There wasn't a single weak link, everything was on point. The waiters brought out a huge punch bowl of sangria since it was my birthday, that was a very lovely touch. Glad I got to experience this gem. Thanks to all the fellow Yelp reviews that helped us find our way here!
