Le Pescadeux, the only restaurant in New York that focuses on French Canadian Culinary migration experience, from the Maritimes through Quebec and down to Louisiana.
"The food is outstanding -- French with Quebec/Maritimes influences. This would have been a perfect meal if it weren't for the service. We had a reservation for 8 and when we arrived at 8:04, our table had already been given away. We waited at the bar for an hour until we were seated (though the owner was very nice and apologetic, giving us wine and an appetizer). But then we were stuck with a ridiculously surly waiter. We had to ask him twice to refill our wine, and whenever our food arrived he just plopped it down with no explanation. I asked him what spice was in one of the dishes and he responded, "Didn't you read the menu?" Not cool, especially since the waiter at the table next to us seemed awesome. That said, the food made up for it."

"This is a wonderful restaurant. The seafood and ingredients are fresh. The menu has a Quebec flavor. It's all done very well and the half portions are a great idea. We continue to go back, it is one of our favorite places to eat. They have live music on certain nights but it's not really intrusive, just background music."

"I have walked past this place many times, but this is the first time I have ever eaten there. My fiance and I went for his birthday, as we were looking for a nicer place, but not too expensive (ie $25 dollar entrees). I made a reservation on-line and the manager called us back to confirm almost immediately. When we arrived at the restaurant, he was there to introduce himself, personally checking in on guests all evening. He seemed to know a lot of his customers personally. The seafood was fresh and deliciously prepared. We had wine, appetizers, entrees and desert, and every bit of it was wonderful. It was also one of the first warm days of the year, so the front windows were opening, pulled back, so it felt as if we were outdoors."

"This was a restaurant I was happy to find that asserted a menu based on the historic French settlement areas of North American, from the Maritime provinces to Louisiana. I imagine the menu changes from time to time, and while it was a solidly good fish heavy restaurant, it's nods to Quebec or any of French North America were limited. They were delicious, but limited (on our night there were five dishes: Oysters from Canada, Bouillabaise Quebecois, poutine, smoked meat, and sugar pie.) The big disappointment is that they did not carry any beers from Quebec which is a shame. While wines are not in abundance from Canada, Quebec has a thriving micro-brew culture (and some not so micro eg, Unibroue.)"

"The dining there just keeps getting better and better. They keep their specials unique and exciting; the wine is exceptional; the customer service remains impeccable and incomparable. I have to keep going back for more."

"Really enjoyed the Quebecois twist on seafood. They offer two half-portions of different fish as one entree, which is a great way to be able to sample the different offerings. We were there on a Wed. night for dinner, and there was live jazz, an added bonus. Will definitely go back."

"Here was my only problem with this restaurant..they had a jazz band playing throughout Brunch and while they were not loud and they were good....the place is just too small...I would say maybe jazz piano or perhaps a small trio with no singer....that was the only problem...we wanted to talk and we did..but with someone singing you cam't help feel your being rude....but it was a lovely place and we will definetly go back!"

"We had brunch early, right when the restaurant opened, so it was pretty empty and quiet, which was great. The servers are great. The owner even checked up on us. The food is quite good. They give complimentary banana bread on the weekends, but the portion is tiny. The location is conveniently in Soho, but still feels like it's tucked away so the ambiance was great."

"A very nice restaurant. Very busy on weekends reservations are recommended. If you have a reservation you do not wait for a table. Live music Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. The food is really quite good and they won't chase you out. We keep going back..."

"The first thing I will say is the owner of this restuarant could not be more welcoming. This is a very cool French-Canadian Bistro specializing in fish. Our food was very good overall and we would come back again. The only two comments I would have is at the outset the service was incredibly rushed. We almost felt harried and then after the entree things calmed down. Our waitress forgot to bring both our sides (we were done with our entrees by the time we could get her attention). We were nice about it and our dessert was on the house. We will be back to try the many other interesting items on the menu."

"Le Pescadeux is one of our favorite neighborhood spots. The food is amazing, the service excellent, and the maitre d hilarious. The menu is mostly about well-prepared fish and french-canadian specialties. Several nights a week there is live music but it does not drown out the table conversation. The waiters are very helpful in choosing your meal. Give it a try; you will not be disappointed. Be sure to get the maitre d talking about Canada!"

"We went to the Le Pescadeux restaurant on the Valentine's Day and this restaurant made this evening perfect! Starting from the very friendly and kind host, the delicious food (specially the steak-highly recommended) the playing band and the very intimate and romantic environment.
Everything was on time with a great kindness from the entire staff - thank you!"

"Had a table reservation but ended up sitting at the bar instead because we loved our bartender Jeannie and spent hours talking. Also, the owner/manager was very sweet and made us feel really welcomed."

"Excellent food (octopus and smoked brisket are to die for), warm & friendly service and an interesting & reasonably priced wine list make this a can't miss. The owner makes you feel welcome and the atmosphere is incredibly pleasant. I can't believe it took me so long to try Le Pescadeux. We'll be back."

"The food was amazing. My boyfriend and I went went for Valentine's Day, so they had a fixed menu with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Every course was amazing. The quality of the food was great. I had the tuna tar tar for my appetizer. I had never had it before that night so I have nothing to compare it to, but I liked the flavors. My boyfriend had a crab cake, which was actually two pretty big pieces of nothing but crab meat. It was tangy, delicious, and pretty big for an appetizer. I had the shrimp risotto for my entree, which was the best I've ever had anywhere. It was just creamy enough and the flavor was amazing. My boyfriend had the steak, which he very much enjoyed. The food was great! I will definitely return."

"Great Quebec fish place with a most gracious owner and staff. Being able to order two kinds of fish keeps the last bite of fish from being boring. One of our favorite places in Soho."

"Had brunch on a Sunday. There was nobody else in the restaurant and my friend and I were very confused since Opentable has good reviews. Brunch was OK, nothing impressive and probably on the expensive end as compared to other much better brunch places with better value. I had a french toast and it was really just 2 slices of french toasts with no sides or anything else for 20 bucks. Drinks were not included (no prix fix). At other much better places, you could get bottomless brunch for maybe 30 bucks with everything included.
It wasn't terrible experience but would probably not return. Better options out there"
