Dominique Bistro

The décor was BEAUTIFUL, the food was AMAZING, and the service was EXCEPTIONAL. Absolutely loved everything about the restaurant.

Great place! Delicious foon, super friendly and helpful staff. Went here on a dinner date and had a great time.

Awesome place. Great food and vibe! Good for a Friday or Saturday’s night. Came here w some friends and we really had a great time! Not too loud

Yaz the waiter was well mannered, and food was flawless. However, the receptionist was pretty unorganized, so we had to wait while group of people who came after us took a seat before us. I would definitey come again for food though.

Walking around w. vil looking for a spot to have good glass of wine and a light bite — happened upon Dominique bistro and so happy we gave it a try without knowing anything about it! Cute neighborhood joint on the quaintest corner! Great bartender, good wine list and perfectly cooked salmon! I’ll be back.

Yaz was so great at making sure we were doing great. He was very charismatic and super passionate about the restaurant and the food and wine. I loved his energy and it just made the whole dining experience much more amazing.

Great atmosphere — came with my girlfriend during a busy week and it was a wonderful reprieve. Yaz, our server, was a joy and the food was extremely well done. We had the octopus, the pappardelle, and the scallops. All excellent.

Amazing meal and the service is extraordinary. It a place where you can really be happy to have the West Village charm and the freshness of a crisp clean bistro.

This spot — aka Whynot Bistro on Eat24 — had the excellent Frisee Salad $ 12.00 (Frisee greens, smoked bacon lardon, pickled red onion and poached egg.) ready when I arrived, so they clearly ignored my order note, but like I said, it was excellent.

Excellent food and great service from our friendly waiter, Yaz! Recommended appetizers include pear arugula salad, foie gras and octopus. The grilled salmon was perfectly cooked. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. The pianist was awesome. We enjoyed the music and the atmosphere here.

Great food and especially great service. Yaz really took care of us. It just makes our dining experience just that much more enjoyable!
Did I mention the food was fantastic?

Best French bistro ever definitely try the baked camembert !
Staff is so friendly and helpful.
The place is just AMAZING! My go to place in the village :)

We stopped in for dinner at Dominique based off my sister’s recommendation. After an entire day of eating and enjoying the culinary delights that NYC has to offer, we decided to try a variety of plates at Dominique and share it tapas style.
Everything was delicious, but here’s the breakdown of what we ordered:
— Salmon: perfectly seared on the outside with a lovely, crunchy crust but with a buttery and melt-​in-​your-​mouth texture in the inside. My personal favorite of the night.
— Truffle Risotto: truffles + Risotto? Uh, yes please! Buttery, rich, and delicious — would absolutely recommend.
— Baked Camembert: this wheel of cheese was served with crusty bread and some nuts and raisins, charcuterie style. The gooey cheese was perfect and everyone at the table loved it.
— Scallops: served over a bed of potatoes and bacon chunks. I only had a little so can’t really comment on it, but others at the table loved it.
— Truffle pasta: I can’t remember what it was called on the menu but it was absolutely delicious and served in a rich, decadent sauce.
The food was extremely impressive and definitely a ⁵⁄₅. Our waiter was nice and friendly but also seemed very distracted that night and took a long time to get our orders and check in on us, which is the only thing stopping me from giving this place a full 5 star rating.
OVERALL: ⁴⁄₅. The food is absolutely delicious and the ambience is great — an excellent spot to hang out for casual dinner with friends or bring a date. Would definitely recommend!

Food was here just amazing! It’s not easy to find great French in New York City. Spend three people around $ 140 including dessert. I gave them less one star because of service, but not bad. I will definitely come back again.

Came here on a Friday night with my father for a nice French dinner and left disappointed. I’ve seen many good reviews for this place and I was really excited to try but the food was sub par and the cost didn’t match the quality of the food.
For apéritif we had escargots which was very bland, we also had mussels that were super tiny and lacked flavoring as well. We also had to request for bread several times and didn’t get it until our apéritif came out.
For the entrée we had Coq Au Vin, which tasted like soy sauce chicken from Chinatown. It lacked the aroma of thyme and rosemary and the chicken was super dry and salty, surprisingly because everything else we ate was bland. We also had the Squid Ink Linguine which tasted like regular pasta with Alfredo sauce with sprinkles of crabmeat.
For dessert we had the crème brûlée, the custard’s texture wasn’t smooth as it should be, it was more like choppy tofu. I also didn’t taste a slight hint of vanilla or see any vanilla bean in the custard. I’ve had many crème brûlée and this by far is the worst one I’ve ever tasted!
We’ve had a lot of French food before but this didn’t taste authentic to us.
Overall, the service wasn’t great but the atmosphere was decent, the pianist did a wonderful job setting the mood, but just wished the food was better for the price we paid for. Not a returning customer.

We his had a great meal here. Our server, Yaz, gave great recommendations for wine and appetizer (the molten cheese is liquid heaven!) It’s a great atmosphere, nice ambience, nice jazz played at a volume that allows actual conversation.
I’ll come back for sure.

The atmosphere is pleasant. The food is fine ;) Yaz the waiter is friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back with my boyfriend.

Lovedddd the vibe at this place… From a block away the place look cozy and beautiful. Wine recommendation by Bartender Antony was Great! Service was great overall! Delicious food, we had the Octopus salad and spinach croquets! A must!!!

Pros: croque madame was delicious (bread was crunchy and cheesy, side salad was light and refreshing), berry waffles were sublime (that chocolate mousse is not kidding around), décor is cute
Cons: hot chocolate only offered in winter time :(

The cutest, quaintest little French bistro in the West Village. There is an upstairs and downstairs dining room. Our large party of 14 was sitting in the downstairs dining room. The food was fresh and tasty, everyone in our party seemed pleased with their entrees. I ordered the «Basic» breakfast entrée, which came with three soft scrambled eggs and prosciutto di parma. Just the right portion and perfectly scrambled eggs. The coffee was strong and good, though getting a refill or second cup seemed a bit difficult. I had to ask a few times.
The staff including our server Yaz were very accommodating. Our brunch was surprisingly affordable too. Definitely check out Dominique Bistro if you’re in the area.

Ambiente agradable. Un buen sitio donde tomar un café. A veces hay música en directo pero no suben precio. A veces la música es jazz en vinilo.
