    My second visit to this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the staff attentive and the atmosphere perfect for a Friday lunch. The only blot was an exceedingly expensive glass of chardonnay. We should have asked the price, so our mistake, but it blotted an otherwise exceptional visit.

    Dear Laurence, It was especially nice to see you back at La Marchande, and I’m very pleased your second visit delivered on the food, service, and atmosphere we had hoped for. Your note about the Chardonnay is well taken. Pricing should never come as an unpleasant surprise, and we can certainly be more proactive in communicating that when presenting options. Thank you for giving us another visit after our earlier conversation. We look forward to welcoming you back for lunch again soon. Sincerely, Abraham Perez Manager

    Excellent bistro/steakhouse in Fidi. Service was great, especially the sommelier, Anna. Found us a great bottle from the Samur that went perfectly with our ribeye.

    Dear Gordon, Thank you for such a strong review of La Marchande! It’s great to hear the ribeye and wine pairing made such an impression, and I’m especially pleased Anna helped guide you to a bottle from Saumur that complemented the meal so well. Her knowledge and instinct for pairings are a real asset to the experience, and I’ll be sure to share your recognition with her. We’re grateful you joined us and hope to welcome you back again soon.

    Service was slow, the room wasn't filled and yet I had to wait approximately 30 minutes to get a coffee, and same for refills. I received my food before my first coffee...It's not a major issue, but service can improve, especially when you welcome guests. Aside from this, excellent food and great ambiance, will likely come back.
    La MarchandeResponded on September 28, 2026
    Dear Angelo, Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Receiving your food before your first coffee, particularly in a quiet dining room, is certainly not the pace we want for breakfast service. Your point about attentiveness from the moment a guest arrives is well taken, and we’ll be addressing that with the team. I’m very happy the food and atmosphere still made such a strong impression and that you’re considering a return visit. We’d love the opportunity to make the service feel just as polished next time. Sincerely, Abraham Perez Manager

    La Marchande is a lovely restaurant in downtown NYC, beautifully decorated; the food choices are eclectic and made deliciously and served up like works of art, my compliments to the chef. Although the portions are small, I did feel satisfied. The cocktails are delicious as well. I will be returning. Our waiter named Jackson, was newly hired, but you would not have known; he was trained so well.
    La MarchandeResponded on September 25, 2026
    Dear Maria, Thank you for such a thoughtful review of La Marchande. Your description of the food as works of art is a wonderful compliment to our culinary team, and I’m so pleased the cocktails and overall atmosphere stood out as well. It was especially great to read your comments about Jackson. He may be new to the team, but he has already made a strong impression, and I’ll be sure your recognition is shared with him. We also value your note on portion size. We’re very happy to hear you’ll be returning and look forward to welcoming you back. Sincerely, Abraham Perez Manager

    We went to a late brunch on a Sunday. Most of the time, we were the only diners. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Just right. The space was beautiful, peaceful on a rainy Fall day on Wall Street. Food was thrilling — disproving the advice never to eat in a hotel restaurant.
    La MarchandeResponded on September 25, 2026
    Dear David, Thank you for such a memorable review of La Marchande. Your description of a peaceful Sunday brunch on a rainy Wall Street afternoon paints exactly the kind of experience we hope to create. I’m especially happy Dayanna struck the right balance with attentive, thoughtful service, and that the food managed to challenge the old rule about hotel restaurants! I’ll be sure she sees your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back for another brunch soon. Sincerely, Abraham Perez Manager

    La Marchande has a great vibe and ambiance, and we were really looking forward to our first dining experience here. We had an 8:00 PM reservation for two. Unfortunately, they had already run out of the ribeye by the time we ordered, which was disappointing, especially since it seems to be one of their popular dishes. The biggest concern, however, was the service timing. After we were seated, it took about 10 minutes before someone came over to offer us still or sparkling water. There was another wait before our order was taken. Thankfully, we decided to order everything at once, from appetizers and pasta to our mains, because it was roughly another 45 minutes before our food started arriving. There appeared to be only two or three servers covering the dining room during peak hours. Diana and Erika were both very pleasant and accommodating, and you could clearly see how hard they were working, constantly moving from table to table taking orders and attending to guests. Kudos to both of them for doing their best under the circumstances. The guests seated next to us seemed to experience similar delays and actually waited longer than we did, which suggests that the issue was less about the individual servers and more about staffing or the overall flow of service. Unfortunately, the long waits did not make for the best first impression as first-time guests. The ambiance is wonderful, and the staff we interacted with were lovely, so I hope the service and staffing can be improved to better match the overall dining experience. Sharing this feedback genuinely in the spirit of improvement, as La Marchande has a lot of potential to provide a much better experience.
    La MarchandeResponded on September 25, 2026
    Dear Giancarla, Thank you for such thoughtful and constructive feedback. I’m sorry your first visit started with long waits, from the initial water service through the arrival of your food, and that the ribeye was unavailable by the time you ordered. That pace simply wasn’t where it should have been. I’m especially grateful that you recognized Dayanna and Erika despite those challenges. Your comments make it clear how hard they worked to care for the room, and I’ll make sure both receive your thanks and recognition. I’d also welcome the chance to speak with you directly about the evening at aperez@jfrestaurants. com. Sincerely, Abraham Perez Manager
