Profile

A little less self-consciously French than the East Village's other bistros, Jules serves up classics like steak-frites and duck confit in a rollicking, music-filled underground space. The Francophones here are as likely to be shaking their terrycloth-hot-pants-clad derrieres as tucking in to whole roast fish ("le poisson est bon," one diner cooed). So what if the hanger steak is a bit bland, or if the allegedly chipotle-spiked steak tartare has no kick ("so you can taste the meat," says our waitress)? After a dozen oysters (East and West Coast) and a bottle of Sancerre, you’ll be lip-synching along to "Je t’aime, moi non plus" in no time. — Matt Gross

(continued) We were basically ignored by the waitress the entire time and whenever I tried to make eye contact to bring the calamari (and the missing pineapple juice) to her attention, she looked at our table quickly and ran away (or to the attention of our loud, annoying neighboring table. We skipped on dessert, as we didn't want to end up staying there for an hour waiting for her to bring it. It took us at least 15-20 minutes to get the check. And by then all we wanted to do was leave.

This was also after a neighboring table's beers were brought to them (this table arrived at least 15 minutes after us). It's apparent how larger tables are treated far better than tables of two. We ordered two appetizers, one was a special which was very good. It was a goat cheese pastry with thinly sliced potatoes on top next to a side of salad. The grilled calamari was absolutely awful. My boyfriend refused to touch it based on looks alone. I tried the calamari and it was as bad as it looked-- much too chewy as it was thicker than any calamari I have every seen. And it was sitting in a pot of garlic and oil- not the grilled calamari I expected. The main courses were decent/good. I had the sea scallops with risotto (not the best risotto I've had, but alright) and my boyfriend had the veal with gorgonzola gnocchi. He seemed to think the veal was alright (albeit a very small portion) but the gnocchi was drowned in an unpleasant sauce.
