Mussels were very small and a little overdone. Broth was delicious!!! Bread and wine were great.

A place that has maintained its high standards of food and service for decades. Reasonable prices and generous cocktails too. You don't go wrong there.

We were party of 5 & 3 out of the 5 entrees we’re very good, steak, filet mignon & ravioli. The pate was delicious.The moules entrees were disappointing, the sauce was tasteless. Expensive.

Exactly what you expect from a corner bistro

The glass of Cotes-du-Rhone wine was from a bottle that had been open too long. It was not drinkable. The tournedos ordered as medium rare came to the table raw in the middle. It was sent back and the new piece that came was even more raw, if possible. When the plate was brought for the third time, it was still a bit underdone, but I accepted it. By that time my partner was finished with his dinner. We asked for the meat in a doggie bag. The one good thing is that they did not charge for the tournedos.

Bistro du Coin was so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation. The food was mediocre. Not a good experience and I won't go back.

The frowsy, casual, no-big-deal ambience of this place a) belies the truly amazing food. Oh my god. I had the navarin d'agneau (lamb stew), my wife had the poulet pí´ti au four (half chicken & fries), we thought we'd died and gone to heaven; b) if anything, makes the place feel even more Parisian. Our waiter managed to cater to us perfectly while giving off the casual air that he really didn't care whether we ate or not. It brought back memories of our time in Paris years ago and we adored it. We'll be back.

Great food, really nice atmosphere feels away from the city

Salad was great. Steak tartare was fine, but was ordered after first steak, foresters, was sent back because God had turned into a pillar of salt. Noisy, short ontstaff, not as nice as I remember

Very good food and above-average house wine. A great neighborhood spot.
