Copinette

We had the restaurant week dinner. $45 is more reasonable than many restaurants asking $60 for pretty much the same choices.
First the background. The interior design is warm and welcoming. Real roses on each table. Real candle, not led light want to b s.
Exceptional service. Impossible to get the water glass half empty.
Our meal began with arugula salads. With pears, walnuts, blue cheese and maple champagne vinaigrette, this was a next level salad.
She had the branzino. Perfectly cooked, topped with lemon, capers along with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Healthy and delish. I got chicken cordon blue. Stuffed with ham, Swiss, and apple. Asparagus side over carrot puree.
Dessert was a warm chocolate brownie, caramel sauce , and vanilla ice cream.
Since I once lived in Oregon, I went with the Erath vineyards pinot noir, which has never let me down.
I know it's NYC, but you'll have trouble finding a much better dinner.

I came here on a Thursday night. It wasn't that packed. My group and I were seated in the back and it felt like a private room. There were other tables in the alcove space we had but no one else was seated there.

We ordered:
- Tuna tartare - my favorite appetizer
- calamari - needed a little more flavor and was not that crispy
- bruschetta - didn't try this
- crab cake - only comes with one crab cake
- squid

- lobster linguine - I enjoyed this a lot!!
- steak frites

I had a pretty good experience here and service was good.

Excellent environment.... Friendly service... great menu choices !!! What a lovely restaurant Andrew the owner went above and beyond.

Restaurant week. Excellent service, nice place average food. Sit upstairs it's quieter.

Excellent food and service. We keep going back whenever we visit NYC. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

Quite a standard brunch place. Interiors are pretty though however nothing in the menu that stands out. But I must call out that their service is top notch and servers are courteous and do care abt the customers.
We ordered truffle omelette with house fries and smoked Salmon on toast. No complains from the food as such and the portions are generous. Just that I'm kinda tired of the similar brunch menu across majority of restaurants. If restaurants can start getting bit more creative with their menu, it will go far with the customers.

Copinette is a great restaurant starting with the ambiance all the way to the food. We started with the tuna tartare which was delicious and super light. We shared the lobster risotto and grilled Branzino. Both were amazing! The Branzino was cooked perfectly. The presentation of the food was like no other. Service was on point, making sure everything was to our liking. Will definitely go again!

Overall, the food was just okay and considering there are so many good brunch places around I was a bit disappointed. Came here for brunch on a Sunday with two others. We had a reservation for 11:30am and the place was pretty empty. By the time we left the place was fairly packed.

I ordered a Cafe Latte which was alright. We got an order of the French Toast to share, which was my favorite thing of the entire meal. Not because it was exceptionally good, it was just the best thing we ate. My boyfriend ordered the French Onion Soup, which was pretty disappointing. The broth was sour which is an interesting take on french onion soup. For myself, I ordered the Truffle Omelette, which was just okay. The truffle flavor was very faint, the salad that accompanied the omelette was not very appetizing either, and I felt like I got a half portion of the potatoes it came with.

Overall, everyone in my party agreed that the meal was subpar. Thank you, next!

This place is amazing. Went here for brunch and dinner and both were great. The location is a little unfortunate being on first Avenue but it's worth going out of your way.

Came here during restaurant week.

The place had an older-classy vibe to it, with a friendly and well dressed host.

We ordered a drink which came out incorrectly and was offered to us for free since it was already made, but we declined since the other person does not drink. Very well handled by the server.

We got the french onion soup, which I would put in top 5 I've ever had. Tuna tartar, which my friend loved. And the crispy tortellini - this will be insulting, but they looked and tasted like russian pelmeni which is concidered the chepest dish. I enjoyed them regardless, I just thought it was a funny coincidence.

The entre was chicken and mushroom polenta, which I found far more flavorful with different flavor combinations of sweetness and earthiness.

I don't remember what we had for dessert, because we were already full and I think we just took a spoon full each.

Overall a very nice classic restaurant.

P.S. They had live jazz! Made the ambience that much better!
