BRIGITTE

So Gustavo Linares had a great time @ Brigitte, it's quite disgusting to see you all enjoying the pleasure of destroying my so called family. Miss Leda is fighting a cancer that is born from all the pain your brother caused by bullying me 20 years ago, which he'd never regret or apologize. Caio brought it all back giving him a roof, shelter and the chance of his life. Congratulations to you all! 4,72 inches of Linares hipocrisy. Good luck!

Little hidden gem in LES, Brigitte is a nice surprise for anyone looking to dine where the Chef knows what he’s doing! The dishes are all super rich in flavors and got very distinctive ingredients, so be ready to flavor every little aspect of it. If you have a big party, considere ordering different items to be shared at the table, as every one brings a different experience all together! Highly recommended for anyone looking a unique dinner in NYC!! Being coming back everybweek so far! And don’t forget to get an extra cocktail on the downstairs environment, an almost speak easy so rich and different from upstairs that you almost forget where you came from!! A must in the city!! ;)

Love the ambiance and staff was both friendly and very proficient. I'm a long time local and had come several times before they did the recent remodel. As we walked in told my friend, i knew they were slightly pricey, but well worth it as I thought they had the best food in the lower east side and we liked the menu. But as we got in saw the menu had changed but I assumed whatever we ordered would be attractive and tasty...but of our three orders non matched our previous visits...the escargot and crispy eggplant looked appetizing but were quite bland. The salmon main course was not much either....quite disappointed. really liked the place...new chef? whatever the cause we won't be returning, i'm sorry about that.

We started off with some cocktails before ordering our food. We ordered the crispy eggplant to share as a first course and it was delicious! The accompaniments on the plate really gave the dish a wonderful balance and burst of flavors. For our mains we had the Salmon Mi Cuit, which was cooked to perfection, and the Duck, Duck, Goose. The duck had a wonderfully crisped outside layer and a perfect R/MR inside. The flavors were outstanding! Again, the plate accompaniments added depth and complexity of flavor which really balanced and rounded out the plate. We added the brussel sprouts to share, A MUST! If you dive a bit deeper into the ramekin, you'll find this creamy white sauce that adds a new flavor to the perfectly roasted sprouts. With our mains, we split the '16 sauv blanc from Willamette Valley and it was a great choice. Tons of great bottles listed on the wine list for anyones preference. The GM, Nathan, came to our table to welcome us and ensure we were having a great time- we did! The service and the food were amazing. Had a nightcap in the super-cool cocktail lounge in the basement, dont miss out on this experience, too!!!

Place is just ok. It was good to go when Otto was there, because Otto was there. Now it’s a somewhat lifeless place that doesn’t clean its grill enough so the steaks come out charred, even if rare.
