Opening 7 Days for Dinner and Sunday Brunch - Starting September 24th

Chef Aless had been cooking French food in NYC at Mon Petit Cafe, her NYC family owned business until 2017. She then opened a successful catering company that's still going strong. She joined forces with her husband Justin a successful NYC restauranteur to create Brasserie.
Signature dishes are "Parisian" specialties such as Steak au Poivre, coq au vin and seafood towers. The couple also serves "American" fare with a French twist like the bistro burger and other amazing treats like mussels and fries.

Chef Aless was featured on Food Networks Chopped!! Google the "snails episode"

The restaurant vibe and decor is a replica of both Parisian and NYC French brasseries. The hospitality is both inviting and professional.

The food is simply perfection as Chef grew up on her grandparents vineyard in France and French food comes naturally.

The food was authentic and perfectly done, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy yet lively. Chef (and owner) Aless added greatly to our experience and she is perfectly suited as a restaurateur. A fine French restaurant was sorely needed in the area. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Delicious French food with offerings for everyone’s tastes. Loved the escargot, tender and swimming in butter and garlic. The filet mignon topped with frois Gras was delicious. The Brasserie shouldn’t be missed!

This was our first time at a French restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. It was on Valentine’s Day so they offered a great four course prix fixe menu. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We will definitely be back again.

I love the ambiance/service/food here (fourth time). Cocktails are generous and well made. Food is great to excellent always. I had a burger this time and it was so delicious, was not one of those enormous sloppy burgers you get other places - and moreover, cooked and dressed perfectly. I am only surprised this place is not busier because it’s a great value and quality. Chef Aless and her staff do a great job with authentic French style dishes.

go to this restaurant quite often unfortunately the last couple of times they’ve been out of a lot of things that we wanted to order and I’ve taken other people with me so I find that a little embarrassing and annoying

Took my niece for a wonderful brunch . The menu had many choices and speciality drinks . We had mussels and had asked for more bread because the sauce was delicious.

Good food but absolutely stellar staff. Greeted by the owner with a handshake and sat immediately. Attentive waiters. Got the rosemary marinated flank steak cooked to a perfect medium. Extremely flavorful. Creme brulee was amazing. My singular complaint is that their espresso is Nesspresso pods and not an actual espresso machine. Small gripe for what was otherwise an amazing meal.
