Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Midtown West

Perfect dinner at Barking Dog . Delicious Steak & Fries and warm indoor seating . Will definitely be back .

A truly authentic French dining experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The food was outstanding, from the escargots to the perfectly prepared Dover sole, duck, and casserole. The wine list is extensive, complemented by exceptionally knowledgeable sommeliers. But what truly sets Benoit apart is its staff. The professionalism, experience, and attention to detail of the entire service team are remarkable. They understand the art of French hospitality and make the evening feel special without being pretentious. Excellent cuisine, exceptional service, and a wonderful location. Highly recommended!

We go to Paris Bar before performances at Carnegie Hall and City Center. The food and service are excellent. A very interesting selection of wines by the glass. And they now offer a Prix Fixe pre theatre menu. The room is lovely, and conversation is possible. Try the Harvest Salad, Steak Frites, Onion Soup, Salad Niçoise. All terrific.

What a lovely experience! Our server, Janeth R, made excellent recommendations about the menu that enhanced our meal. Everything was delicious, especially the strawberry shortcake.

Phenomenal food. We ordered drinks and entrees and loved everything. The Arctic Char, Short Rib, brussel sprouts were equally enjoyable. The atmosphere had a good vibe and the restaurant looks amazing post-reno. We were delighted when the Executive Sous Chef, José, came out to the table and shared insight into the flavors and ingredients. This was a memorable dining experience and we will be back. While located within the Sofitel New York, Social 45 has its own individual identity and is a destination. Thank you for such a great time!
