Loved the goat cheese salad! Others loved the 1/2 chicken and the beef tartare. Service was very friendly, courteous and helpful with the menu! Would definitely return.

As usual, everything was great. Sunday brunch is very popular in NYC and L'Express is always at the top of the list. So it was busy, crowded, but service and food were still excellent.

L’Express everything was pretty good. French onion soup was great and the burger was good as well. Only problem was the steak my girlfriend ordered it could have been a bad one out the batch or something but it was very tough to cut. Being in the industry we know that happens definitely will go back again when she’s ready to try another experience.
