This establishment has never, ever failed to impress me. I've been coming here with my boyfriend for a couple years and have never had a single negative thing to say. Last night, we went to dinner to celebrate my birthday and I received the best food and the best service I've ever experienced in my entire life. Everyone who works there is so kind and genuinely seem like they want to be there and serve you. They make you feel comfortable and welcome and like family. The food is exquisite. We get the escargot, the cheese and charcuterie plate, and the grilled octopus every time and are always beyond satisfied. Last night, we also ordered the steak-frites medium rare and it was heavenly. It melted in your mouth and the gravy was delicious and the shoestring fries were even incredible.
They knew it was my birthday and came out with one little candle on a plate after they brought out dessert (to-die-for creme brûlée with banana on top) and I cried because of how amazing everyone and everything is.
If you're questioning whether or not you should come here, stop and make a reservation. You won't regret a single thing.
Thank you, Amelie and all of the staff for always making us feel at home. You are officially our favorite restaurant on the planet of earth.
We loved this place. The service was top notch and the ambiance was young and chic yet cozy and comfortable. We loved the charcuterie plate and the goat cheese ball; both mouth watering and well done. The trout and the coq au vin were fabulous too. Great experience beginning to end.

Excellent food, great place to eat or just sit back and relax with a glass of wine or few, lol. Service is always friendly, we come from New Jersey and always make it a point to stop here first, when we arrive...Love it, can't think of a better place!

You had me at $12 wine flight! But the steak tartare also did not disappoint. I also got a little bowl of olives that I swear each one had its own flavor. Amazing.
Perfect little place for a nice birthday dinner. The noise factor is not too loud but enough to give a good energy to the place.
Awesome place - being able to choose a tasting of any three wines (any three that are available by the glass) for a very reasonable price is great. They have some great choices and the place has great energy.
I love this place! Great wine flights and delicious food. Atmosphere is relaxed. Been here with my daughter many times and never disappointed!
An amazing restaurant! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves great wine, great food and a great wait service!

The wine, food, and service were fantastic! Just found my new favorite spot.
We had a great experience! Got there about 5:30 on a Wed night and was able to sit right down. The room was booked at 7 but we needed to leave by then anyway. Service and was great as well as the food and our wine flight.

We have been here so many times because it is always such an enormous pleasure to dine here. The staff is happy, attentive and friendly. The food is just outstanding. The wine is superb. The ambience is superb. Somehow, we keep shooseing to come back to Amelie time and again rather than try another place. And we are NEVER disappointed.

Super food. Fun staff. Approachable and charming chef and owner.
Such a great French restaurant! We dined here for lunch and every dish was delicious. Coq au vin was really good and 2/3 the price compared to other restaurants that offer the same dish with the same portion. We also enjoyed the pistachio crusted goat cheese ball - the taste was great and the sauce was just amazing. Octopus was also really good. Definitely recommend this place.
My wife and sister-in-law have made a yearly tradition of a New York trip and I finally was invited. This was the first stop and man, its worth it.
First off, service. It was SUPER packed and they still found a way to seat us. Super chill crew.
Second, they have a great list of wines. You really can't go wrong.
Third, and probably most importantly, the Pistachio Goat Cheese thing OMG I want it right now.
Go, now!
Went here for my birthday, the steak tartare is amazing. Our server is very welcoming and had very good recommendations. Jojo wine flight is great. Duck breast is outstanding. We'll be back again.
Cute little wine bar with excellent food. The pistachio goat cheese ball was to DIE for, along with the raviolis. Highly recommend getting the Amelie Spritz, it’s so refreshing and delicious. This place is a staple, always love dining here.
This is the place where I and my wife’s first date.
Food are amazing and they have ton of wine list.
Very good atmosphere and staffs are very noticeable.
My wife don’t like meat but she loves Chicken Liver.
Muscles are good but I like a little more strong flavor.
Theirs are savory and I don’t criticize it.
Onion soup is my favorite.
Only con is table are tiny and too close.
Sorry for the blurry photos it’s very dark inside and I don’t want bother others with flash.
Great folks here. And really good food and wine. The oysters are top notch and a great deal. Perfect onion soup. Yummy bread. Why they think they need “music” is dumb. All you hear is a vague thumping bass and it doesn’t help conversation or the overall vibe.
Absolutely gorgeous French food for the given price, worth for the shot. Nice service with prompt attention in details. Will try next time for wine list. Love it.

The happier hour!
Good vibe, exquisite cuisine, velvety or bubbly wines, pleasant place to escape the winter cold wind.
They offer a happy hour with wine of the day OR wine flight options. It’s an oasis of excellent cheeses and French dining icons. Escargots, beef steak tartare, coq au vin, if it’s French they cook it! Upscale dining means upscale price so be ready to pay top dollar.
If you like wines and cheese then this place is like a mecca for you. When in NY, do yourself a favour and visit Amelie.
We had escargots gratine, steak tartare, a few wine flights, sparkling Oksana, red Naim and red Eric, and the nicest Spanish Garnacha.
Cheese-wise we tried:
- camembert normandie
- brillat savarin (our favourite)
- tete de moine
- taleggio
- three sisters (goat, sheep and cow)
Surprinsingly relaxing afternoon all in all!
C’est fantastique!
I was in New York for a brief two day stay and tried 4 French restaurants, this one takes the CAKE! Partial waitstaff was authentic French which was a VIBE, but it was really the food that gets the gold star. Small and quaint, stopped by at lunch- there wasn’t a wait and we get the same great menu. And sat indoors at this chic hidden gem. Everything we ate was spectacular, and the baguettes were top notch!
Highly recommend.
To note: service feels European so make sure you take your time and enjoy at a leisure pace.
Amelie is a great place! The food is phenomenal, and the happy hour with the wine flights is fun! The service can be a little slow, especially during happy hour hours, and if you’re sitting inside, it can get really loud there! One of my favorites is the goat cheese ball with pistachio and caramelized onions.

Go for the food !Get the grilled octopus appetizer, a cheese plate and a side of fries with your main course ! Went here for my friend Richard's Birthday Saturday and there's a reason why they get 5 star reviews . The food is really above average. There's Happy Hour drink and food specials before 6 even on weekends. Try the wine flights ! You get 3 glasses for $13 and you can try some nice things. I tried the orange flight and it really was a different tasting on each one ! Pretty nice. There's $10 escargot on the HH menu too. Very earthy. The octopus with ratatouille appetizer is special, get it . Delicious and tender. The cheese plate is great quality with some jam and honey and dried fruit and nuts on the platter . Ask for extra bread ( they'll bring butter if you ask for it ) Our mains were both fish and they're delicious. The green beans on the branzino plate were no afterthought ! Everything tasted good. Side of fries comes with ketchup and mayo so you don't need to ask for any . Outside tables are nice on 8th street too. Crispy and good. Dessert was ok , mousse is very dense .Get the Russian Hill gin cocktail. So refreshing. This place is recommended, good for occasion too though it's not huge inside. Service was nice as well.
Great spot for girlfriends' dinner/drinks time! For the Happy hour, they give small wine tasting 13$ three options of wine. The most delicious duck leg confit I've ever tried! Will definitely come back. Friendly spot with great vibes!
Cute French inspired neighbor place with a good wine list. Food menu is vast - I've only tried the oysters which were fresh and well shucked and the escargot with puffed pastry which wasn't special. Will go back.
Thomas and the rest of the staff were amazing.
We got 2 glasses of wine, goat cheese appetizer, and the roasted chicken and Arctic char (char was on special). All soooo good! Would highly recommend.
Such a fun spot for date night! The food was incredible - lots of rich flavors and a fun menu. The wine flights are such a fun treat and so yummy. We will definitely be returning.
Great food, environment and wine. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Make sure to make a reservation as it's very difficult to get a table without one. There is a wide variety of French food such as cheese, escargot and other French dishes. The wine list is simple superb, they also have a great happy hour offering of wine flutes for 12$. This is a great place to hangout with friends, have an after work drink or celebrate a special occasion. I'll definitely be coming back here!
Had a great brunch here. The charcuterie was great. I wish my steak would've been seasoned a little better. It was a tad bland. Everything else was very good. My cocktail was very good. The servers are very attentive and personable. They were chatting with regulars and were making an effort to get to know new customers.

My food friend was eyeing this place and I'm so glad we stopped by. At first I was thinking how does a French restaurant with wine have so many reviews in NY, but Amelie did not disappoint. We ordered the lobster risotto, duck leg confit, octopus and escargot. Plenty of food for 4 people. The risotto was great in texture and had a fair amount of labor. The duck was cooked perfectly. Crispy skin on the outside and fall off the bone meat on the inside. The grilled octopus and escargot are a must order as well. We also had some wine flights which were priced very nicely during happy hour even on a Sunday.
Love how they have happy hour even on the weekends. The drink menu is extensive here. Highly recommend making reservations prior to dining here as the seats filled up very quickly. The restaurant ambience is great with all of the wine bottles along the wall. Amelie takes Covid seriously as the entire staff is wearing gloves and masks. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want great food, wine and a place to people watch as well
Excellent first experience at Amelie. Wines by the glass were all interesting and good in their own way. Food and service were outstanding. We had goat cheese salad, mussels, and coq au vin. On the quiet and more intimate side in terms of ambience, which is hard to find in NYC. Combine all of this with very reasonable prices and this is a true find.
