Rn74

Excellent place for happy hour in the heart of the financial district. Their food is incredible and the service is quite charming. Heads up, they're doing an overhaul of the restaurant and opening up under another name but it's the same folks so I'll bet it'll be great. I think that's supposed to happen around Sept 2017 but don't quote me on that.

RN74 is a mix between a dining car on a train hurtling through the French countryside + NYC West Village wine bar. Classy and upscale but friendly, professional and welcoming (although depending on your server, they may be a little overzealously pushy in upselling you on an appetizer or small plate.) Named after the highway that runs through the Burgundy wine region of France, RN74 is a place to indulge in a pricey upscale meal or just sample flights of Burgundian wine in a fun and elegant setting, from the huge clapping train board displaying featured wines to the energetic buzz of the thriving bar lounge.

Had the Thanksgiving menu and it was absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and our waiter was a funny and engaging guy. It was busy, probably due to the holiday, but we had pre-booked and were seated after a short wait. The only fault was that the service was a bit hectic. They forgot one of our sides and the table next to us were forgotten altogether for about 30 mins. But the food is worth it!

Really good but really expensive. I had the best lamb burger (a special that day) that I've ever had. However, I do have to eat very healthy and was surprised that they did not have a wheat bread option instead of sourdough. Not that I don't love sourdough, it's just not healthy for me. Great service as well.

Great care is put into every dish and everyone on staff is very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to food and wine. If you're like me, you'll need that help when you see the staggering wine list. So many things to choose from; but, it was easy after getting a great pairing recommendation. As far as food goes, wow! It was pretty amazing and you could tell the chef takes great pride in creating wonderful dishes. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and tender with an superb sauce to go with it. We tried so many great things, I can't even remember all the names of the items. My favorite was between a noodle dish with egg we sampled or the chocolate macarone. The noodle dish was odd at first but the Chef was absolutely right that the combination was sublime once mixed with the egg. The macarone had a coffee creme of some sort inside and although we were so full by the end it was so worth it to experience. Do not leave without trying it! You won't go wrong here with any dish.

It's always a grand time here. I love the decor and who doesn't love that it is a Michael Minna restaurant! I've been here twice for a work lunch. I love their salmon tartare, its fresh and I love that dill sauce. I've had their burger and snapper entree. For dessert, I've order the milk chocolate tart, pistachio cake, and strawberry puff. Their food presentations are on point and I've always left satisfied. One thing I haven't tried are their wines and they have a LOT of wine. Be sure to notice the cool train letters on the board of their most expensive wine bottles!

The first thing that grabbed me when walking in the door is the intimate, bistro atmosphere. Once seated it becomes instantly apparent that the staff and cuisine are of another level. The entire staff was very helpful and attentive. All of our food was excellent and came to the table in a timely manner. Overall a great experience.

This is a great location for a happy hour or office party if you are looking for something a bit nicer than the average bar. They have an area by the windows they can cordon off for private groups that has served us well on a number of occasions. Prices are a bit steep but the cocktails and atmosphere are worth it.
