Pascalou

Pascalou is a "neighborhood gem" in Carnegie Hill that has survived Covid and the wear and tear of time in NYC. The restaurant has been here for years and was a favorite of my late mother's. Three of us had dinner here last night -we arrived at 6:30 pm and we closed the place, which should tell you something. The menus is eclectic; lots if great choices and options. The fine food and wine, the service and the intimate ambience made for a memorable evening. Pascalou is small, very popular and crowded, yet somehow not noisy. I really look forward to dining here again.

Food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is romantic yet homely, and the staff is incredibly kind. I highly recommend trying the beef tips here they are so delicious and we can’t wait to return in the future. My girlfriend tired the scallops and said they were also very delicious. Desert was also so good.

Very interesting small restaurant. Space is quite unusual and feels old world. Space is also quite small, so take note of that. We came on a Saturday at around 5pm and didn't have a reservation and were able to get a table. When we left at around 6pm it was much more busy. We were asked if we had a reservation and got the sense we should have had one. Food was very good. Both of us had the ravioli. Mine was with shrimp and a very creamy and flavorful sauce. The salad was also particularly delicious. I do overall recomend it, just keep in mind that a) its better to have a reservation and b) the space can feel quite small and cramped.

The chocolate souffle is to die for!! I didn't have anything else because I was in the mood for something sweet and boy did this hit the spot! The staff was very friendly and the ambiance of this French restaurant is so cute. I also had an espresso that tasted wonderful and perfectly complemented my dessert.
