Copinette - New York

Went here for lunch on Thursday and I really enjoyed my meal. The service was good and water was constantly refilled. The food was tasty and came relatively quickly. The portions are a reasonable size. Definitely coming back. Five stars.

Went here for lunch on a random Tuesday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet. The four of us and our little one on his comfortable high chair were seated right away. We started off with Cucumber Cooler $15), Spicy Margarita $15), and Gene Hackman $15) as our cocktails all of which were absolutely excellent. Good taste, good amount of punch and took us all to that happy place after our drink! For Appetizers, we got the Truffle Burrata $16) and Super Lump Crab Cake $19) both of which were excellent and very flavorful. For mains we got the Smoked Salmon Frittata $18), Four Cheese Ravioli $20), Truffle Risotto $19), and Fettuccine Bolognese $22). The vegetarian options were excellent and my Four Cheese Ravioli was very delicious. Our table enjoyed their meal and food overall was really delicious and for a change, really well priced too! Service was excellent, friendly staff, and food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering. Noise levels were low and seating was very comfortable. We will definitely visit again!

I know a lot of NYC restaurant snobs who say there are no good restaurants in that part of town it's just the UN and embassy row and all that but I really need to disagree. I had a lovely lunch with friends at this restaurant and it was quite good, as was the service. The prices were in line with other comparable restaurants both in that area in another sections of Manhattan so give it a try! The only downside was that the outside seating was quite extended into the road and the traffic was quite physically close albeit at very low speed... I did find that a little disconcerting at first but I never felt really unsafe. I would definitely go again when I'm in that area of town but would probably choose to sit inside next time.

Copinette is a cozy restaurant with friendly and professional staff. We ate family style, so everyone can have a bit of everything. For the most part, we enjoyed our meals. Arturo and Marius were great. Apps: Bacon Mac N Cheese (a little underwhelming for us), Potato Leak Soup (everyone liked this, but many liked the French Mushroom Soup more), Calamari (tasted basic), Tuna Tatare, Grilled Octopus. We finished all the apps! Entrees: Rack of Lamb (well liked), Steak Frites, Chilean Sea Bass, and Stuffed Salmon (Entree of the day was popular with us), Shrimp Scampi (mom didn’t like it), Truffle Risotto (my sister raved about this). Drinks: We ordered a lot of strawberry mojitos Desserts: I loved the Sorbet- raspberry, mango, coconut flavors, coconut cake (yummy too), chocolate mousse (most liked it), and cheesecake (I didn’t like it)

The perfect brunch experience. I had the croque monsieur and crab Benedict with truffle fries. All so good. Cocktails wine rounded out the menu. The waitstaff was so lovely and pleasant I would def return.
