Profile

The menu’s tried-and-true staples like steak tartare, trout amandine, and duck magret have been known to incite loyal fans but this French bistro formerly known as Le Taxi — a chic spot in the early nineties — could benefit from a little tune-up of late. The dining room, with its butcher-paper-covered tables, red vinyl booths, and walls hung with vintage French posters now relates a careworn if stylish imprint; and while the grilled filet mignon bordelaise is tender and the scallops St. Jacques are pleasingly pan-seared, the side dishes (like the asparagus spears flooded in hollandaise) can prove subpar as oft as not. — Sarah Gold

This is a charming bistro in the heart of New York. Shop till you drop on Madison or Fifth and then stop in to refuel. The food and service were both good and the prices were very reasonable for Manhattan.

The food is good, and fairly priced (for Manhattan) in a great location. The chocolate mousse for dessert is excellent; the grilled salmon for dinner is reliable, but not outstanding. Service was generally attentive and friendly, although at 10:35 p.m. the busboy abruptly cleared the candle and flower from my table prior to my finishing dessert (Bistro 60 is open until 11 p.m., so I don't think I was overstaying my welcome). Less-than-impressive dessert wine selection features non-vintage Fonseca port overpriced at $12, but main French table wine selections under $10 meet expectations and will compliment your meal.
