Love This Spot

This restaurant is one of my faves and is always consistent for steak frites and escargots. I like the room, the food, the decor and the wine list and if you had a hard time here then you probably don't belong in the first place! To be honest, this is one of the very few places I go back to on a regular basis.

Great place for date or group

This place is gigantic and has a warm and cozy ambiance. I went her with my date. The bartender took great care of us, checking in constantly to make sure everything was fine. We ordered dessert, wine and a cocktail. The wine list is impressive and a good price point for the quality. The Tart Tartine is one of the best that I have ever had. The apple was fresh and soaked in an incredible tasty sauce. I plan to go back for dinner next time.

Not for the hoi polloi

I will count myself lucky that the two times I have been to Casimir I have been more than pleased given my fellow reviewers' comments. The first visit was on an excruciatingly hot and humid day mid summer. Sitting right by the door, mid-afternoon, my date and I sipped chilled white wine from heavily condensated glasses under the breeze of a ceiling fan listening to Eric Satie. Went back the following spring for dinner fully prepared to be let down from my heat-induced, lethargic state of euphoria from previous encounter and was not disappointed. Yes, the bartender with his alluring eyes and dark curled locks could not have been more self important as I am sure he fancies himself a rock star in his spare time. However, after having enjoyed sketching him in all his glory, our server was suffice, the food was delicious and the maitre de' played Eric Satie for me as I cracked into my creme brulee. Window seat a pleasure, and I hope for more fodder for the sketch book and savory dishes for the palette on my return.

If you're lucky enough to walk in on a night when the uruguayan and the czech waitresses are working, you'll be the luckiest person on Earth!!! The service is the best we've ever had and believe us, the food is really great, but what a difference it makes to be served by a professional staff who cares! We'll be back for sure but, wow, it will be great to have those girls around again!!!!

Awful

A few of us went to Casimir for dinnner, 2 hours before one of us had to play in a show. It took 15 mins to get our waitress's attention. She took our drink order, but didn't tell us the specials. We had to ask her. WeÂ’d decided on our orders when she returned with drinks, but she immediately walked away and took guests' order who arrived after us. We had to get her attention to take our order. Our single appetizer arrived about 15 mins later, and long after it was finished, we still hadnÂ’t been served dinner. People around us who arrived later were eating. With about 20 mins to showtime, a member of our party complained to the manager, and the food arrived shortly after. Only, theyÂ’d switched one of our dishes with someone at another table. We had no time to get the meal redone, so we ate what they gave us. We thought they would comp that dish, but they refused, offering instead to comp the appetizer. We thought this was unfair, especially considering such poor service. We paid the bill without a tip.

Service?

Food is good - if you have to go, I would opt for the Pork Fillet. Service is terrible. We ate a Casimir last night for a dear friend's birthday and WOW! I couldn't believe how we were treated. We ran out of wine and water before our main course came and when the food arrived to the table, my entrée was missing. It made it's appearance 30 minutes later with the waitress ignoring us for 25 of those minutes. I talked to the manager to diplomatically voice my displeasure (haven't we all been servers at some point?) but that ended poorly. He shrugged and didn't really try to make amends - Mr. Blase. They halfheartedly comped us an order of $6 chewy Profiteroles and remained unapologetic. Luckily, I had great company who I will dine with again, but not at Casimir.

RUDE

Completely rude and pretentious, pompous and arrogant staff. As soon as we walk in to meet up with our friend, the host, I assume, came over and asked us what we were doing there. We responded that we're meeting a friend and he replied, "either order something or get the f--k out!" We came straight from work wearing business casual, so I don't think he was appalled by our appearance. (we work in an ibank!!!) It's a wonder they stay in business. We went to the bar next door and started complaining about it. The manager came by and asked us if we were talking about his neighbor. It appears he has heard similiar stories like ours countless times before. Do yourself a favor, and skip this one.

Been searching for the perfect omelette in NYC ( Pastis's is so bad I sent it back) Had brunch at Casimir, where I had an absolutely perfect omelette: an inch or so high, golden, slightly tanned around the sides, obviously cooked in a frying pan, wet in the middle and tasting of fresh eggs. Finally, a French restaurant that didn't ram its Frenchness down your throat and actually had someone in the kitchen who could cook. Result. Service charming, excellent bread. all good in fact.

Food was ok. Wine was ehh. MAnager was a complete and utter idiot who refused to accept my hundred dollar bill that the deli across the street happily accepted. If you want to be insulted this is the place to go.
