    Food is mediocre at best. Interiors are the best part about the restaurant. Extremely overrated and overpriced.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Chez Fifi last night as part of our Valentine’s weekend celebrations.The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the blue cheese martini was one of the best I’ve had in the city!

    Chez Fifi did not disappoint! We had an exceptional experience from the French martini to the chocolate mousse, each dish was better than the next. The dining room has a certain je ne sais quoi and made for a lively dinner. The service was great too!

    Wonderful waiter. Tasty potatoes. Hospitable staff. Setting OK but not beautiful. Long narrow corridor. Lots of unappealing brown. And not worth the hype. Having tocwake up at midnight on the first day reservations opened in order to have a chance at getting a 5:30pm reservation.

    Our server was good and the only highlight of the evening. Food did not hit. Let’s start with the bread service , stale and felt like it been out since yesterday. Ordered the Tuna to start, which was said to be a highlight. From restaurant owners that are known for their sushi, I expected finesse, this Tuna was not that. It was incorrectly sliced and the chew was not what you want when you order a top grade tuna. Endive salad was okay, the crab rice was good but lacked salt, could use some sort of bread to put the crab on. For the main course, we ordered the bass and filet au pouirve. Nothing memorable about the bass, the filet was end cut piece and nothing like I ever seen before. Sauce had cumin in it which wasn’t really classic and I wasn’t rushing to dip my fries in it. Best dish was the potato’ fifi. Dessert 7/10 for the creme brûlée. Overall not worth the price we had 3 mocktails with dinner and our check was $430, you can definitely have better in NYC. The ambiance is a bit confusing as it feels it wants to be a secret Parisian neighborhood spot that’s been around for a while , yet it doesn’t feel cozy enough.

    Honestly Chez Fifi is the closest I've felt to being in Paris I've ever felt going to dine in New York. The service, ambiance, and food are excellent. The bar is stunning as well as the private dining room was such a treat. As for the food - I highly recommend the tuna with caviar, the endive salad, and the crab. The mushroom omelet rivals the best in the city and the potato dishes were sublime. Everyone agreed the chocolate mousse was exceptional and we were already planning a trip back at the end of the meal. From a to z, everything was incredible.
