We had an absolutely amazing experience at Mr. Purple in New York. The rooftop views were unlike anything else, truly breathtaking. I also want to give a hugh shoutout to our wonderful server Courtnee. Thank you, Courtnee, for making our first visit so special and for recommending The Formula for our meal. The steak was cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. Incredible food, outstanding service, and all delivered with a warm, genuine smile. I'm so happy we had such an unforgettable dining experience-thank you, Courtnee!

came in today for a drink with a girlfriend and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Wasn’t too busy or loud around 6pm. Drinks were good, and the views from the rooftop are beautiful! We enjoyed a special where you get a steak, fries and martini for $35 that our server Alma recommended and it was great. Will come again

I had the absolute best experience at Mr. Purple the other night! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was perfect. What really made my night, though, was the incredible service. My server, Elma, was beyond amazing. She knew the menu inside out and gave spot-on recommendations for drinks. Between the great vibes, top-tier drinks, and exceptional service, it will become my new go-to spot. If you go (and you should!), definitely ask for Elma, you’ll be in great hands!

I’ve been coming to Mr. Purple for months, and honestly, the place wouldn’t feel the same without Ricky. She’s not just an incredible bartender, she’s the reason the night hits differently. Ricky has this rare way of making you feel instantly welcome, remembered, and taken care of. Your drink is always perfect, the service never feels forced, and the energy she brings behind the bar is unmatched. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that kind of service is rare. The views are stunning, the vibe is iconic, but Ricky is the magic. She turns a great night into an unforgettable one. Once you’ve been served by her, you get it.Thank you Mr. Purple for having someone like Ricky behind the bar. She is truly one of a kind and the reason this place feels so special. Her energy, care, and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Places are made great by people like her, and you’re lucky to have her.

Came here on a weekday while visiting NYC was a bit quiet but Elma was my server and made my experience so amazing. Not only was she super personable but recommended some amazing drinks, she even invited me back for the summer when the rooftop is open. I ended up staying longer than expected ! Will definitely be back and bring some friends. Views were beautiful as well.

Horrible. DONT come here. Just kidding... I love it but it is so busy. You guys should go to other places and leave this one for me. I will sit me, my wine, owner Pear, and Beef TarTar! There is a waiter called Carl and he is so weird, but everyone and everything else - good vibes.

Tom Hiel

Came in and was told to put my number down. Had a drink across the street. They called! I came back and had the seared cabbage which was wonderful! Then I had the Hanger steak in a red wine sauce with gratin dauphinois: Outstanding!!! The marriage of the steak, the sauce, and the cheesy buttery potatoes was exquisite! Couldn't get enough! To finish I got the Cherries in cream: salted cherries in a beautiful creamy base! All with a lovely Bordeaux by the glass! Forget Balthazar and come here!

This place completely changed my opinion during one meal. The place works with modest dimensions while staying neat and inviting with city character. The plates come out looking picture-perfect. The team demonstrates adequate friendliness and clear helpfulness. I enjoy this place genuinely.

Le French Diner is one of those rare hidden gems that captures everything you love about dining in New York — cozy atmosphere, impeccable food, and genuine charm. This tiny bistro brings Paris to Manhattan with every dish. The menu is concise but perfectly executed. The staff are warm and unpretentious, and the intimate space (barely more than a handful of tables and bar seats) makes every meal feel special and personal. Whether you’re stopping in for a glass of wine and a bite or a full dinner, Le French Diner never disappoints. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A true NYC treasure for lovers of great French food and authentic hospitality.

Sam Marrell

Perfect French food in an unpretentious atmosphere. Line up by 5 to get the first seating. Don’t skip the octopus or the duck.

Hsueh Yu

This is a tiny restaurant with a tiny kitchen that serves amazing food. The menu is selective and everything is well executed and tastes great. The service is friendly and attentive. Once you get in, you’re not rushed, just a great cozy dining experience. We had a few glasses of wine. And the staff always pour a little first for us to try and make sure we like it before he did the full pour. For food, we ordered octopus, buckwheat crepes, scallops, skirt steak. Everything was delicious. We especially love our steak. It was very flavorful and perfectly cooked and came with potato au gratin. Over all a very fun and pleasant dinner.

Ashton Crawley

Amazing wine selection! Everything we ate was so simple yet gourmet. Get the soft boiled egg and the steak tartare for sure.

By far one of the best place I had. This assumption comes from me staying here for a year and exploring. The music in the resto is also amazing. Attentive chef and crews. Worth all the wait times!

It was an amazing experience. We had the best seats in the house, got to watch the show and enjoy a delicious dinner.

I've been wanting to try a french restaurant for a long time. I just loved the vibe. It's like experiencing a little piece of Paris in Manhattan New York. It's not a big space at all, but I didn't mind, it's part of the experience. I had the grilled Octopus and my husband had the steak. It's was all very delicious. Next time I will definitely be trying a new dish. I totally recommend coming to this little cozy french restaurant. It was a great experience.

Very interesting vibe. Get online at least 1 hour before they open or you won't get in. Maybe 18 seats. But well worth the wait and the very cramped atmosphere. The food was phenomenal. Delicious takes on French standards. Casual dress, be foodie. Surprisingly well organized for such a tiny location. And very charming staff. It's like going to your Friend's studio apartment for dinner with a small bunch of people you meet while waiting for him to get home, but your friend is an absolutely excellent chef so you are all excited with anticipation

Khoi Pham

Tiny and intimate space for delicious French cuisine. The hanger steak was absolutely delicious and the grilled octopus was memorable too. Friendly staff. If you wanna secure a spot for the first seating of the evening, I'd recommend arriving 20-30 minutes before opening.

Nicholas Russo

Awesome service and meal. Octopus was so simple - as close to perfect as I’ve had in a long time. I could eat the ouef mayo everyday. The escargot was well prepared but more salty than I have usually experienced. I’m still thinking about the chilled Grenache by the glass - sipping that alone at the bar on a rainy Sunday evening almost made it feel like I was in a Parisian hole in the wall. Go for the vibes. Go alone - it’s verrrry small.

Do not let the exterior fool you. Yes they could clean and wash their sign and make the entry more inviting-but this is part of their appeal. Very small restaurant-bar seating plus 4 tables. I choose to sit at the bar. The barkeep was friendly and knowledgeable of all menus. Started with the cheese board. Very very delicious. The chickpea crepe was delicious as was the octopus. I had ordered the steak and it was very good (loved the mushrooms) but the star of the night for me was the pork chop. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and the side of spicy mustard was the best I have had and worked well with the chop. Seriously-do yourself a favor and order the pork chop.

One thing I love is a great environment and delicious food This place was both of those and then more! I went to celebrate a new beginning and treated two friends. Between three of us we had about 5/6 items and we felt great. I loved this place. I look forward to going again

It's a big bar with dancing space on the 15th floor. I was there to dance and see the rooftop, it was some free special that night. But that night it was raining so the rooftop was closed. I just saw vague skyline through the glass walls. Overall it was nice to dance, not crowded.

Mr. Purple was a lot of fun! The rooftop view of the city was immaculate, and they had a great selection of music as well. The drinks were solid, and I enjoyed the overall vibe of Mr. Purple as a whole. Would recommend!

The food was good! But I was not a fan of the drinks. The pornstar martini was more so a passionfruit mimosa, pure prosecco! It was so bubbly rather than smooth. Any good bar serves the prosecco on the side. Our waitress and all the staff were amazing though and the view is worth the $25 drinks. Great music as well. Just really bummed by the drink.

Vivian Chang

Their mayo egg and steak are both excellent! The panna cotta didn’t taste like a panna cotta, tasted and texture felt like a vanilla yogurt

This was our second visit to this property, both times at sunset, this time as hotel guests. The view is breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for sunset cocktails. However, regarding the food and cocktails, both are of low quality and do not meet our expectations. We had the worst Aperol Spritz we have had. Bartenders had no clue. Additionally, the bartender was arguing with a client over a card and tried to involve me in the discussion, which was very rude and inappropriate. We had one drink, enjoyed the fantastic view, and left. Many rooftop options, avoid this one.

Renee Xie

I really wanted to love this place but was very disappointed with the food. The vibe was great and server was warm and friendly, but the food did not live up to all the hype and the price. We started with the escargot with anchovy butter. Did not taste the anchovy at all, and was not salted enough so it didn’t bring out the flavor of the escargots. And the escargots were tiny. Then we got the grilled octopus. It was extremely charred. To the point that it masked the flavor of the octopus. And sauce was light and nice though. For main we shared the hanger steak. This was the highlight of the meal. The potato was to die for and steak was well cooked and juicy. Though, one side of the steak was better than the other. And for dessert we got their only dessert, panna cotta with sour cherries. All I can say is skip dessert please. It tasted like Trader Joe’s yogurt with sour cherries. Not worth it at all, just walk a couple blocks and get ice cream around the area if you are craving sweets. Not sure if they had a bad night but the food was just ok. Not too good, not too bad. Would not wait in line for this. If it really was just a bad night, work on your consistency. Part of being a good restaurant is being consistent.

I came here to meet a friend for dinner on a Monday evening. We were greeted by a bartender who seemed to have a “too cool for school” attitude. My friend and I sat at the bar and shared the escargots (which were okay) and the steak (which was good). The options for wine by the glass were slim… too slim for a “wine bar” in my opinion. Not an amazing place that I would make it a point to go back to, but wasn’t horrible. The place itself is cozy and cute as others have noted.

Only good thing about this place is the bathroom attendant Ibrahim. Came in knowing it’s a club and drinks would be more expensive, but the tequila soda I paid over $20 for was extraordinarily weak. Having learned my lesson about ordering liquor from the place, I went back for a second round and asked if they had White Claw. Bartender hands me a Surfside (a little more than $11 for the can), and then PROCEEDS TO SIGN FOR ME, TIP FOR ME, AND TAKE THE HANDHELD AWAY before I can even touch it. This was an extremely quick movement, like he is very well practiced at signing and tipping for customers while they’re putting their cards away the moment they tap. I tipped 20% on my first round. I don’t know what the average tip at this business is or if a noticeable number of customers don’t tip, but frankly, that’s not my problem. You CANNOT sign and tip on a bill on a customer’s behalf. That is outrageously disrespectful, and probably illegal. Maybe he felt overwhelmed by his ~7 customers at his nightclub bar, but that does not excuse this. Truly appalling. I wonder how much money he steals from unknowing customers per month with this kind of behavior. Dude needs to be fired

ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN…Just told we were TOO BROKE to eat at his restaurant after waiting for 2 and a half hours in the cold. As two graduate students, my gf and I were patiently waiting for our annual celebration dinner here where we have ALWAYS ordered the grilled octopus $28 and the Hangar Steak $45. We settled in and ordered with giddy anticipation. After a few minutes we saw the crew whispering with each other, after which the owner approached us and told us to get out of his restaurant, telling us “this is a restaurant where people order dinner. You can’t even feed one person with this, are you joking?” After which we laughed thinking he was joking. Nope. He said we were not worth his time. My girlfriend is in tears, back out in the cold. We were humiliated, our annual tradition was ruined, and I will be getting back on my train back to Boston, from which I traveled to enjoy our dinner. Have fun paying your rent.

KICKED OUT FOR NOT ORDERING ENOUGH. My boyfriend and I (both graduate students who earn less than minimum wage) have been coming here for 3 years for our anniversary. Today we came 10 minutes before opening and put our names down, and waited 2 hours to be seated. The food has always been worth it. When we arrive we ordered the octopus ($29) and hangar steak ($45) for our dinner. This is a lot of us to spend on dinner and that’s why we save it for special occasions. The manager/owner came up to us and said that wasn’t okay and that he couldn’t afford for us to spend that little on a Saturday night. We said we couldn’t spend more. They said if we couldn’t order more then we would have to leave. We were heartbroken. I have ordered that exact combination for 2 people maybe 5 times before at this resultant with no problems. If you have a minimum for me to order tell me that at the door when you take our names down! And definitely don’t make us feel like shit for being poor. How are we supposed to enjoy our dinner when we’ve been told that if we don’t order more we’re not allowed to stay? Disappointed and heartbroken to be treated this way.
