| "Unlimited patience" is a must for those who brave "looong lines" and "seriously cramped seating" at this West Village provider of "outstanding French bistro fare at terrific prices"; a BYO policy that "keeps the cost down" and "fun" weekend brunch are other reasons its "popular." |

| "Laid-back, easy bistro grub" dished up with "friendly" "bohemian attitude" makes these "cheap", "cute", "cozy" crêperies a welcome "diversion from the citys harried pace"; just plan on a "leisurely" experience because the service is "slow." |

| A "proprietor who loves his job" sets the tone at this "longtime" Village bistro that has stood the test of time thanks to its "consistent country-style" cooking, "low-key" "French farmhouse" vibe and "lovely staff"; "bargain prices" are another reason it would be an "asset" in any neighborhood. |

| Keeping its knack for "solid", "not-too-expensive" "French bistro fare", this "casual" Village "favorite" remains "worth the visit" to its "spruced-up" second home; "lines are still long" for the "amazing" brunch, even if service "can be touch and go." |
