Rue 57

New York, New York, United States

Rue 57

Rue 57 is a French restaurant located on the corner of 57th street and 6th ave. They have a large indoor dining room, and an outdoor patio. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outdoors, and quite enjoyed our meals, even though the traffic was quite noisy. The restaurant offers both traditional french cuisine, and, oddly enough, sushi. The food we ordered was all very good.

Dress

Cost

Reservations

It was full when we visited (8pm on a saturday) - reservations are recommended.

Items Ordered

Beet Salad

Beet Salad

The beet salad had a small number of sliced beets, goat cheese that was breaded and baked, and a number of less desirable greens. The goat cheese appeared to be somewhat flavored, and went very well with the beets.

Mediterranean Lamb & Goat Cheese Sliders

Mediterranean Lamb & Goat Cheese Sliders

The sliders had a surprising amount of hummus served on the side. The hummus was good, and I wished they had served a few more pita chips with it. The lamb tasted like ground beef - it was a pretty tasty burger, with a delicious feta cheese on top.

Beef Bourguignon

Beef Bourguignon

The beef bourguignon was the best item we ordered. The beef was very tender, although also very fatty. It was served on a bed of mashed potatoes, topped with mushrooms, and some carrots/peas/pearl onions.

The sauce was fantastic, and went very well with the delicious beef and mashed potatoes.

Trio of Chocolate

Trio of Chocolate

The trio of desserts was just perfect for our group of three. We were all quite full, and just wanted a taste of dessert. Our waiter tried to upsell us on other desserts, but this one was just perfect. The lava cake was pretty typical (but good), as was the mint ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. The ginger-chocolate creme brulee was unusual, but quite tasty.
