Reviews of Felix (Restaurant)

Barbara andre

Nice restaurant, great staff but horrible food. I was highly disappointed with the quAlity of the food. I went there last night with a group of friends for dinner and we were all so shocked at the lack of flavor in the food. The tuna tartare had no taste, steak was dry so was the chicken, crab cake was below standard actually everything we had was below standard for French food. I’ve Never had magret de canard so dry and hard as a rock. Will not return

Dylan Gardner

I had a great time at this place! The servers are very entertaining and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Rémi Honoré

15$ for a Ricard. It deserves a negative rating.

Bryan Scovell

Staff aren't the friendliest and the menu is a bit misleading, we ordered the "boneless chicken" and it came bone in. Cash or Amex only here. Otherwise nice place.

One of my favourite restaurant. Excellent for lunch, especially during spring/summer with all windows open. Enjoy a glass of rose on the terrace while watching people walking down the streets of soho. Hip and trendy clientele, mostly European. Really busy Brunch on Sunday (make sure to have a reservation AND arrive early). After 4pm the brunch turns into something else (in the good way), be ready to make new friends and dance . For a quieter atmosphere, it is best to come for dinner during a week night. Insider tip: cash only or American express.

Alain Barbet

Excellent French food. Being from France, I can tell that it's often not the case with a lot of so called French restaurants in NYC and elsewhere.

Sandeep Singh

Great brunch spot but wayyy too overcrowded

Victor Bonora

They dont take cards but american express! Whattttt? In NYC IN 2019? .... awful.

Maria Paula Grima Laurenti

Incompetent and rude hostess. Mediocre food. Extremely loud music, impossible to chat. Very small space, poor decoration. Drunk people. Do NOT come here if you have some taste and actually want to enjoy a nice brunch with your friends where you can talk to each other.

Dave Fan

lively bistro with gorgeous windows and outdoor seating looking into the heart of soho

Faber Fedor

Pretty good food. A little on the expensive side but not too bad. Decent service.

Let’s sum up our experience: They only take cash so we asked why, no explanation, ok let’s go withdraw some cash. We come back to pay and they make us wait for 15 minutes before telling us a price twice as high as the one they asked to other customers for the same thing. They were obviously not pleased with us asking about what was going on with their business, and they just answered with a condescending « welcome to NY ». Quite ashamed of this behavior from fellow French people.

Daniel Lopez

As a restaurant I don’t recommend it but as a bar it’s such an amazing place. I went there on Sunday night and the restaurant becomes a bar. Great music and ambient. I recommend it to go grab a beer and dance.

sharif ford

Always love the vibe here...its like being home!!! Come for brunch and stay for the fun!!!

Nicole R

Food is fine. Drinks are fine.If you go for dinner beware of the french main waiter that will get notably drunker and drunker as the night goes by and will continue to forget your order. Also only accepts Amex or cash. ?!?!

Lazaro Fuentes

Felix is the most authentic restaurant in New York. It is the place that I go when I want to feel at home.

Nancy Kafadarow

Food is average for a French restaurant. You can only pay cash or AMEX so not convenient for payment options. Very loud and felt more like a night club then an intimate French dining experience

Reggie Parker

Hospitality sucks, the food was very tasteful!

David B

French ambiance, French food, French people, amazing in the weekend sometimes packed. Also it s AMEX or Cash...

Santiago Diz

Good atmosphere, a little bit expensive. Little dishes.

John Hintz

Felix has been around forever. Still has good food and atmosphere.

Henning KO

A little light on service, but damn that was a good burger.

Vincent Scarpati

Good vibes, great escargot, great branzino but very subpar duck breast. Was far to tough and chewy.

Michael Chock

Good atmosphere, average food.

dominick auricchio

Services were a bit slow but worth it to not be rushed food and drinks were great I am definatly going back

Natalia Baptista

Great food and staff!

Pablo Menendez

Great place to party on a Sunday evening!

P J S

I went there at 4pm on Sunday and the place was packed, buzzing with an amazing vibe. There was people queuing outside and the place was really busy. The poor people sitting down to eat were surely uncomfortable given how packed the place was. I only had rose and did not eat there. Highly recommended on an nice sunny day!

Lucia De Prado Gomez

WORST PLACE IN NEW YORK!!!! Please NEVER EVER come here!!!! Staff is so rude, food is not good at all, and everything is SO expensive!!! Wouldn’t recommend it... not even to my worst enemy

Victor

Ordered the duck breast and it was hard as rock, very hard to even chew....potato gratin was great though. Would not visit again.

Brian Eberle

Totally unbelievable food absolutely delicious coquilles saint-jacques perfect.. brings me back to the old days on the bridge over the River Kwai...

Hamish McCullough

Euro euro euro. Like buddah bar in '99

Javid Franco

Great place to have Latin Fun!!!

Jb Box

Thursday and Sunday night is a must

Adrian Arroyo

Great latin music!! Also oldies

David Peraza

Horrible and extremely rude hostess... They don't accept credit cards, so I went to the atm to get cash, and when I tried to get in again she shouted to my face that I needed to make the long line... I just was trying to pay.

rose Hourani

Waiter was extremely rude, we were there on Saturday and the Bloody Mary was terrible, the drinks were very expensive!!!!! Do not recommend this place

Pipsa Saarento

We were a party of five grabbing drinks at the bar. $15 a drink: typical NYC price, but they only accepted AMEX or cash... After the first rounds of drinks I ordered a seltzer and the waiter at the bar charged me $5 for it! Ridiculous! Everyone else was drinking cocktails, one seltzer should be on the house or $1-2, NOT FIVE BUCKS.

Ryan Nelson

Cute place with nice vibe. Food is good and french inspired, but nothing extra special. The ambiance is where the magic happens. Love sitting in the windows and people watching. Fun for small groups, too!

Mason Parker

Great place to watch world cup soccer and they have a delightful lunch menu.

Luisa B. Vargas

It is unfortunate that I have to write this review but this place deserves less than 1 star for their service. I made a reservation for a large group two weeks prior to the event, called a week before to confirm, everything seemed fine. The day of the reservation I got there a few minutes earlier to make sure everything was in order before my group arrived. The restaurant failed to mentioned that they were having a “la bastille day” celebration that included a large bocce set up in the middle of the restaurant and a very large crowd. Needless to say, there was no space for a large table. The manager, while trying to make up for their mess, placed a bunch of improvised chairs and tables in a corner where once seated, there would be no way out. What really bothered me was the total lack of consideration and respect for my time. Fortunately, one of my friends was able to get us to another place where we were treated like valuable customers.

Priyanka Sewhani

Sunday nights here are the best for a party. It’s super crowded but a great curated vibe of people

Herlen

Try the French onion soup!

Alexandra Dixon Heaton

Funky French bistro ideal for brunch

Ecaped From

Felix a great French restaurant for any type of party

Lethicia Matos

I had too much fun with my friends at this place. First we had dinner to celebrate my friend’s bday. And after dinner they started a party. great service and very lively.

ida sandberg

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, good people.

Casper de Bok

Great atmosphere on Sundays !

Luísa Bertoldi

the waiters wasn’t so pleasent but the food was awesome!!!

cristopher gunter

Very disappointed. My server informed me when I presented my credit card after dining that the restaurant only accepts American Express. He directed me to a discreetly placed ATM within the restaurant where I might withdraw cash . . .

Jose Guillen

I love this place, so great to party and enjoy!!!!

Juanita Venegas Carvajal

We had high expectations of the place for their comments, but it really was the worst service in the area. If you ever visit this place and your server is Mohamed K ask for URGENT change, the worst service and the worst experience with him. Disrespectful and very rude. Our order had salmon and the taste was not fresh and the fries were fried in a dirty old oil, we ordered a change of dish and the waiter was contemptuous and rude. The helpful and friendly manager tried to control the situation, but if you really want to live a quiet experience run away from Mohamed and change places, soho has incredible options with good service

Galyna Poczciwinski

Horrible service, super rude, and they don’t tell you that they take ONLY AmEx until they present you with a bill.

Ron Maxidus Chieng

Fun xrowd must visit for brunch. Good music

Juan Diego Sol

Food was good, prices are a bit high. Highly recommend getting escargot and dipping bread on the leftovers

Isabel de Santos Gómez

The food was good, but they only let us pay with american express or cash. You're not warned at the entry of this fact.

Ludwig van Bedolla

I visited the place for a private event and everything was great, the service was excellent, although the music could improve a little. I definitely recommend to pass by and try it.

Yvan Jacqueline

Extremely dissatisfied experience ! One long hair was in the cassoulet. Disgusting !They even did not apologize just said I will show to the chef and came back saying it's not possible. Having seen the kitchen after all, the chef is having long grey hair and no one was wearing an hair protection.

Olivia A.F.S.

The ultimate Parisian experience. The decor, the tables, the service, the food, the wine... I was in Paris for the night. The Magret was absolute perfection. The only reason why I am not giving Felix 5 starts is that they only accept cash and AmEx! Very inconvenient in this day and age. Time to update the payment system and I'll change my grade. Definitely going back. I strongly recommend!

Mid-Atlantic Marine LLC

Always a great experience to eat @...

German Ossa

Good food and wines, service was ok.

Joe Romano

NO CLASS, VERY RUDE. The service was of a redneck truck stop diner. After 2 bottles of rose and food we were forced out without us even finishing because they had other people waiting for tables. Absolutely no clue what's so great about this place because the food was luncheonette quality but no big deal, lesson learned

Maurizio Ricci

Well you need to like french food to like this place, personally i don't like french food to much ,but i notice that they have a good clientele should be good for those who like french food

Victor Pickens

Boiling hot overpriced food. Would not recommend.

Felix Pertl

Very authentic and easy going Restaurant with great quality food and drinks. A great Stop when in Soho.

Francesc Clar Ferrando

I understand that for good business you let women enter before men, but it is not OK that your staff mocks and treats bad the men who are trying to enter the premises.

Micaela Sol

We came here for the first time with friends. No one told us that they were NOT taking VISA or MasterCard. JUST CASH! They offer you to use an ATM that they have inside. (It cost you a fee of 3dls, plus the fee that your bank is going to charge you!) Never again we are going to come here. The food and waitresses attention is not that good either. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. I would never recommend this place, and for sure, never going to come back here.

Katrina Bishop

This place is the bomb! I pack my plate up and get almost every cost of meat and I'm still paying less than a regular Brazilian buffet. I just wish I had more stomachs to eat more.

Gaseline Marcelin

I had chicken fajita..not so much a fan of the sauce the chicken came in. The chicken and waffles were alright as well.

Victoria Richison

Wonderful French Bistro! Great food and service. Neighborly atmosphere!

Silvana Mero

The food of this place is very delicious, its amazing how a French restaurant becomes a Latin spot with good vibes on weekends, especially on Sundays. If you want to have lunch and after partying, Dj Cruz is the best, and there is a wonderful bartender, just one bartender lol

Brenda Wu

Fun wknd parties

Nawel M

French is always sexy lmao A french place with a french folks with an amazing music and atmosphere. What else. I love their cocktails yummi! The bartender is amazing and the owner is so friendly with all the customers. Will come back for sure!

Eric Bennet

One of the best French restaurants in Soho. Great ambiance, good food and excellent staff. A place to visit and enjoy.

Sophie Raven

Delicious and authentic French food. Nice airy decor. Will be back!

Mars Thirtyseconds

I had great memories from a few years ago, so decided to come for lunch with a friend. The food was good (but nothing outstanding), the service horrible and they ONLY accept Amex or cash- which they only let you know when you hand them your MasterCard... the attitude is just insufferable. Won’t be coming back.

Louise Kores

Ok food in ok environment. Bring cash or Amex

melissa Alvarado

Absolutely delicious food!! The steak tartare is amazing!

Ashish Chowdhry

The staff is the best!!! And they know how to make the evening amazing!!! Pretty crowded on Sundays and it’s a festival on Sunday !!

Tony Berkman

Fun bistro!

Shaya Klechevsky

Long running French cafe in SoHo. Beware, cash or American Express only. Frugal patrons be wary, this place is expensive. Worth the price? I guess that's up to personal taste - I think it's a tad overpriced for what it is, but you do get authentic French fare in a bistro-style location.

Jeff Baker

Great food AND service

Beatrice Montoya

When a full house of Euros ins't enough-- come here..

Vinay Kakwani

Service was not good. Food was blend but portions were good. Fries were too greasy and lamb was undercooked.

Francois C-M

Best bar restaurant in Soho. Fantastic vibe, delicious food.

Marisol Rojas

Over crowded. Nasty nasty ppl

S de Zárraga

awful service! asking us for how much tip are we going to give them so they consider serving us

Mark Jones

French restaurant, NYC. What could be wrong with that? Nothing. Is all good.

Andre Parker

Wonderful place and the service was great

Claire Sheldon

Terrible customer service. I had made a reservation for two for brunch a full week ago and they called me 12 hours before and said they could not honor it. They made no effort to rebook me at another time or day.

Mahamadou Sissoko

Nice environnement, especially on Sundays

Gary Sooch

Good food. Terrible service

Robin Johnson

Good french food that you might expect from a common parisian street restaurant. Not fancy, just the level of the average person.

Roberto Blanco

Very good brunch, good size meal. Moules were great.

Jonathan Daly

It's literally one of my favorite spots in NYC

Daniel Melo

The food is good, but service is AWFUL!!! The person who took care of us was rude and it was like he was doing us a favor. Additionally , TAKE CARE!! They only accept American Express card, otherwise PAY IN CASH!!! If you are with $500 in your wallet and you are not worried about the service, you can have tasty food. It’s up to you

John O'Hare

Superb Tartare was great Octopus is my new favorite seafood dish.

diana baggott

Love this lil spot in SOHO. Authentic French cuisine that's fabulous. Staff is very friendly. Always had fun here meeting people since 2004.

Luke E Sergott

Great French party and fun crowd - one of our favorite places for boozy brunch

Claudette Anderson

Crowded, but definitely the place to be. Yea, and this happened. Great place to hang with friends.

Grover Reed

One of the best French Bistros

Sam Babajide

You can never go wrong on a nice summer day, a meat and cheese board with a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc at Felix.

Sanjeev Verma

fun spot

Juan Pablo Baene

This place is a institution of the bars and restaurants in the city. Nice music, good food and a decent selection of wines. If you don't know where to go this could be a good place to end. Is also great to see Football soccer world cup!

Domingos Frascino

Great food and wine. A french brazilian assemblage.

David Pottharst

Mixed bag review here. Great food. Great atmosphere. But... My party ordered cokes to drink. We received them in small glasses with mostly ice. The nice waiter, without asking, took our glasses and refilled them when they were empty. We assumed that it was free refills when this happened. It was coke, after all. Nope. When we got the bill, we were charged $5 a glass. Literally half our bill was for cokes. Small glasses of coke. I know restaurants have to make money, but this is ridiculous. In short, go ahead and order a coke with your lunch, just watch out for the attentive waiters being nice with the refills.

Kathleen McKinsey

Soccer becomes futbol here.

Andrew Mathewes

Stopped in for a cocktail, had a French 75 with lavender, yummy

Zach Stelmack

Bomb food

Suresh Dixit

Good was ordinary, so was the wine. Overpriced for the quality. But lots of French expatriates, so good place to practice your French

James G

Underground and incredible. Get the roast chicken, its a 10+.

Kamal Gursahani

Nice bistro with good food

LIANNA SIMONYAN

Unfortunately I was able to catch an old man with white hair walk into the kitchen and stick his dirty hands into the pile of French fries that my kids where about to eat. Unsanitary.

Runhao Huang

Good food, slow service, only take American express card or cash

Lionel Tonini

The french touch in New-York. I love this place!

Ruby Chantelle

Way more fun before the whole #meetoo thing.

Jennifer S

Went here for the first time. We ordered a burger and were not asked how we wanted it cooked. Half the burger was well done and the other was raw. We sent the burger back half eaten. We are give our half burger back cooked more not a new burger. One additional bite and inside was raw still only the outside of the part we bite into was browned. We sent it back again. It was given back with a half a roll and the quarter of the meat we still didn’t finish. Was our eaten food out back on the grill again?Guess what. It was still pink inside of the browned outside. We didn’t bite it but cut it In have to see what they did with this silly little quarter of a sandwich we were charged $22 for...The check came and we had to insist with the waiter that the burger be taken off the bill. He told us he had to ask the supervisor with no sorry. It was taken off but no sorry from the waiter and the manager never came over to the table. Who reheats food you send back wrong and puts the eaten part back on the grill. What type of cook doesn’t understand how to cook the inside of a burger. Don’t waste your time here.

Dimple Peshwani

Lamb shank was dry and bland... could use more flavor... french fries were soggy... If you cant make good firm crispy french fries then God help... Ambience was good...

Catharine Brar

We had a fundraising event here and couldn't be more happy with the service we received. Geoff, the bartender, was attentive and ensured we were never without drink. Chef Pierre's Chicken Lolipops (a sophisticated version of a chicken wing) were absolutely delicious. The entire staff made the experience a great one. Thank you!!

Amy Patin

Only accept 2 forms of paynent

Gen

The vibe was really good in this restaurant. Food was so so.

hy haddad

Coolest place in Soho. The place to be. Great staff. Great vibe.

Jong Kim

I don't know about other menus but I liked my risotto

Isabelle Tran

Only takes Amex and cash! Food was pretty good - had the crab cake with tartare sauce entree, roast chicken main and steak. However, service could be better. Hard to flag down the waiter, and when you did, they didn’t even acknowledge you when taking down the order. Refill of water was slow and I had a couple of dirty plates.

Mike

It was my favorite restaurant for brunch, but the quality of service significantly declined since then. Today I had to ask for the check multiple times, they forgot to bring sugar so I had to ask two different waiters twice. They don’t pay much attention to details. The price tag is quite high and the service is quite low. The food is still very good though.

Nicholas Photopoulos

Horrible experience and very rude staff. The manager’s response: That’s how Félix is, if you don’t like it leave — after buying several bottles.

Irene Ortiz

Pretty good bilanguage attention. Food is excellent, and nice ambientce.

Lorenzo Casciscia

Average food, overcrowded and really expensive. Not my nicest experience
