Pastis

Pastis is a French bistro located in Manhattan's meatpacking district opened by Keith McNally. Executive Chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson and Chef de Cuisine Pascal Le Seac'h prepare a menu that combines hearty Provençal dishes with moderately-priced bistro fare. The bar serves a range of house cocktails, wines by the glass, carafe or bottle, and several varieties of pastis, an anise-flavored aperitif from the south of France.

"Pricey French bistro but generous portions of favorite dishes are superbly turned out. Like Balthazar, the staff operate like a machine making the above average prices worth-while all round.
Some outside tables if you catch a day where the wind isn't too strong on 9th ave. Cafe-style at the front (same menu) near the bar. Spacious dining room at back.

"On arrival, the host let us know the table was going to be ready in less then 5 minutes and invited us to wait in the bar. The bartender asked what we would like to drink, and after talking it over, we opted to wait until we got to the table since it was only going to be a few minutes. The bartender then began pushing a drink order from us that I again politely said we were going to wait. He then asked if we were going to order something to drink at the table and proceeded to be "upset" that we would not have anything at the bar. His behavior was inappropriate with facial expressions and eye rolling.
The dinner was good. Wait staff was very attentive and nice. Food was good. Pastis seems to be relying on past notoriety.

"This was my third visit, the second with fellow "out of town" guests. I like to take people to Pastis for the atmosphere, and because I know the food is always excellent. Our most recent dinner did not disappoint.
We had a great table by the window near the bread counter, which provided a perfect vantage point for people watching. Everything was delicious (for me: bread, saumon fumé platter, the veal, the mousse au chocolat); my tremblement de terre cocktail was too much for my fellow diners(!); the wine was good; and the service was very attentive, thoughtful and smooth.
I look forward to going back.

"Lovely choice in a fun and vibrant neighborhood. The menu was perfect. The food (I had chicken and my dining partner had steak frites...) was to die for. And with a reservation, we were seated the moment we walked into this very busy, absolutely adorable restaurant. We loved the vibe and the wine menu. Our server seemed very distracted and wasnt quite as attentive as he should have been... but it was a busy Tuesday night. I will def be back on my next trip to NYC... may even plan a customer event there."

"I loved the Parisian cafe feel of this restaurant. It's a little piece of France tucked away in New York City. Reservations are strongly recommended. For this visit, I went during brunch. The restaurant was already bustling at 11 am. I would definitely return for lunch or dinner. I ordered the Eggs Hussard which were savory. My friend had the Eggs Norwegian. In addition, we both had La Fraise Cocktails, which delicious and simply refreshing especially during the hot weather. Our server recommended the Ile Flottante for dessert. Simply light and sweet but not overpowering. Service was on point and friendly."

"This was recommended so we travelled quite a way to try it - it would appeal more to the younger set as it has a trendy feel. The menu is not adventurous, but simple .
Our meals were simple too - steak and frites and the steak was perfect, and seared salmon , cooked just right but arrived almost cold.
We didnt take this up with the waiter as he had a slight attitude !
We had better meals and better service in a French bistro in 44 th street, but would try Pastis again when in the area .

"Pastis has such great buzz, and it lived up to it when we visited a few years ago. This time, food was average, waiter was surly (perhaps because we only ordered a glass of wine, not a full bottle). Ambiance was good, but overall, this was a disappointing experience at a well regarded place."

"Visiting from the UK & had been to Balthazar & loved it so wanted to try Pastis this time.
It was fabulous, both restaurants are great.
Pastis has a fab atmosphere in bar & dining room. Staff were lovely, the scallops are amazing & so is the steak!
Thanks for a great night.

"The food was good, however the tables are far too small and you are seated very close to the table next to you. Every time someone walked past my chair I got bumped as space was at a premium.
The bread basket, starters and entrees all arrived at the same time and there simply wasn't enough room on the table for all the food so some of it had to be sent back to the kitchen.
Overall it was not a great experience and I doubt I would return."

"My husband and I have been eating at Pastis for years. We have always loved the ambience. You feel like you are in Paris. The hostesses are always accommodating when given our seating preferences. The service is always good. The food has always been delicious. We have always enjoyed such dishes as the chicken liver mousse, the steak frites and the creme brulee. This visit
my steak was overdone and my husband's Dover sole, after being served, was whisked away to the kitchen for what seemed a very long time for deboning. We were disappointed.

"Large place, good seating inside and outside, open and simple decor, good food, good service, lots of people, decent prices, lively noise level but not distracting to your own conversation. Open very late."

"The best swordfish I've ever eaten, vibrant crowd. Love this place, but there is a problem with the rest room for female. Long line and VERY smelly when entering the bathroom area. Needs to be solved. Will definitely be back, great place for lunch or dinner. Always crowded, but in a good way."

"The scallops were perfect.
The mussels - moules et frites - were overcooked and not very tasty.
Our waiter gave us a special reason to come back to Pastis: his joy during our stay gave us a warm and cosy feeling.
I guess his name was Aaron. "It's a great restaurant, it's a great city, why not love being here?", answered him when I told him that we were very delighted for his cheerfull working mood.
Thanks again Aaron for the pleasant dinner. And I sorry if my poor brazilian ears dindn't get your name right..."

"Went there for breakfast last week and had the worst coffee ever. The server even refilledy cup without asking so I had no chance to politely bring this up. Ok breakfast but overall a lot exaggerated rate for the quality on food and service.
This place doesn't deserve it's reputation.
Go elsewhere. N.Y is full of amazing places where you better spend your money.

"Travelled all the way from London, told to go to Pastis by a friend. Average food, poor service (40 mins for our food to arrive). Waiter said the kitchen had 'lost our ticket'. When we complained nothing taken off the bill. Had to speak to the manager who removed our coffees. Wouldn't go back."

"Its quantity over quality. A brunch factory with no soul. Orders come quick and they get ya outa there as fast as they can. We came early and were relegated to a yet empty dining room next to the washrooms to watch staff eat their meal and get a team briefing. Next guests squeezed next to us when all tables were free. Eggs Benedict were fine. Service formulaic. This place caters to one time visitors and doesn't care if people return...."
