"Consistently good food. Been around since the '80's. Not trendy...which can be a good thing! They have stability. Their BLT and homemade ice cream are outta this world! They also deliver all around The Downtown Area, which is great. Wait staff is friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend."

Review 11 for The Odeon

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Classic, technically skillful, French cooking. Unpretentious service, casual around the edges for what otherwise could be tolerated (by patrons) in an upscale Tribeca location (this is a good thing). Odeon is always reliable for dinner dates and was a great choice for Valentine's day. Can get very crowded but noise level is slightly below expectations."

"The Odeon has been outstnading for years! It's worth the trip downtown. This was our first brunch experience and it lived up to their reputation. We were surprised at how "kid friendly" they were -- great for the families -- not so for just a couple! Bur, mevertheless, we'd return!"

"This is a solid performer very conveniently located to downtown business.

One of the best burgers and frite in town. Somewhat kid-friendly."

"Kind of disappointing this time. I love the staff, they are very warm, but I ordered badly. The steak tartare looked like a ground beef hockey puck and the roast chicken is this odd boneless thing that seemed collapsed on the plate.

I still love the Odeon for its sophisticated ambience and the fact that you can actually talk over dinner. But I would stick to the steak."

"I have eaten here various times.

Great food and good service. The woman, who I assume is the General Manager, after seeing her on a couple of occassions, seems to run a very tight ship. She's very professional and seems to ensure the quality atmosphere and service. She's constantly observing and has stopped by the table to check on everything. I did ding them on Ambiance and Noise as the place has too many tables for my taste. They could lose a few tables and provide folks with more space around them. If you like hearing other table's private conversations, this place is for you.

The food is excellent though, so I keep going back for more, and my in-town visitors always seem to know the name and want to eat there.

Neighborhood Gem."

"Great steak and fish specials. Desserts were pricey at $9.00, but after tasting the brioche pudding, I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Dining room was quiet at 6:30pm on a Monday, but by 8:00pm, it was full and energetic."

Review 39 for The Odeon

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"This is a neighborhood standby but the food is fair at best and service could use some improvement. The onion soup tasted canned, and in a neighborhood with 5 other places serving it nearby, I'd say pick one of the others. The standout for the entire meal was a side dish brussel sprouts with bacon - but then again how can you go wrong with anything that has bacon as an ingredient?"

"This was our first time at Odean. The food, especially the lamb, was spectacular. The service was also exceptional. The ambiance is great, but the tables are close together which impedes conversation a bit, but fortunately the people around us were great so we didnt mind. We will DEFINITELY go back."

"I had hoped that the Odeon was still a lovely classic brasserie, as I have known for the past 20 years but I was disappointed in everything. Service was clueless, I asked if there was a Gamay by the glass and was served a Beaujolais Nouveau, which is fine if you're in the mood for that but the waiter should have pointed out that it was BN instead of Beaujolais. Croque Monsieur was made hours and hours earlier in the day, it should be a la minute, salad was not tossed, brussel sprouts weren't carmelized, they were mushy and under seasoned. Profiteroles were classic and we enjoyed them. The wine glasses should be replaced, they might have been accepted in the 80s but we've moved beyond those cheap glasses. I will not return."

"I have been to the Odeon many times for many occasions from birthdays to New Year's brunch and have never been disappointed. There is definitely an old time bistro feel to the place but since it's been around for so many years it carries its own feeling of permanence. There is a sense of hustle and bustle when it is (as so often it is) crowded, but the wait staff is always attentive and charming. The food is good. The menu contains some standard bistro fare but daily specials and other items venture into more creative cuisine. I had hot chicken dumplings with blue cheese dressing as an appetizer-a unique and delicious twist on the typical Buffalo wings. Over so many years I consider it to be a reliable oasis for comfort and good food."

"Had an early reservation (6:30 PM), and the hostess was gracious enough to seat my date at the table even though I was running 15 minutes late. The service was prompt without feeling like they were rushing you, and though our server was professional, she was far from warm and personable. The food itself was tasty and portions were ample, although I would rate the whole experience as a smidge above "average.""
