This downtown restaurant serves French brasserie style food in an upscale cafeteria setting. The Odeon was the center of all that was cool in New York City during the high-rolling 1980s. Although its glory days are long gone, it remains a stylish bar and restaurant patronized by the now aging, upscale hipsters who live in and around its Tribeca neighborhood. Unfortunately, the staff remains...
Food is the best!! Definitely not the healthiest, but vegetarian and really good. Service is very slow though so don't plan on dinner here if you just want a quick bite. I love this place!!
"Historical hipness" clings to this "sexy-smart" TriBeCa bistro that's enjoying something of a rebirth with the renaissance of the Financial District; "solid" Franco-American fare, a "vibrant" mood and the addition of breakfast service are reasons why it "seems fresher" than ever to its perpetually "cool crowd."
This trendsetting hotspot, the first from bistro king Keith McNally, was the pioneer restaurant-bar that made the TriBeCa scene a scene. Dark, smoky and deliberately under-designed with vinyl banquettes, Formica tables and linoleum floors, Odeon still draws the super-cool, late-late-night fashion- and art-world crowd, along with some of the suburban set. Expect a cocktail party-like atmosphere...
In Short
A mecca during the hard-partying, decadent '80s, now the familiar burgundy and black banquettes and lazy ceiling fans create a comfortable, stylish neighborhood vibe. The... Pros + reliable food
It’s a wonderful, happy place with kind, professional service and terrific food.
We had a great time! The wait staff and managers were fantastic!
Best place!
Great for a business lunch. Downtown vibe with upscale feel. Smart diners. Attentive staff and team. Over the years of going to the Odeon, I am alswaus taken by how warm and inviting the restaurant feels. Maybe I really like Fench brasseries set in retro NY setting. You won’t find the Odeon in London or SF or Copenhagen. Only in NYC. Happily.
We had a great time at The Odeon. Our server, Adam, was very attentive, answered all our questions and tentatively follow our requests. Food was delicious. I order tuna burger and it was perfect. I highly recommended. We had brunch on a Sunday and never felt rushed to out of our table. I will come back.
The food was just average American food but priced way up because of its location in Tribeca. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. Also my husband ordered his steak rare and it came out medium. We had high expectations for this since it was his birthday and had been wanting to try it for a while, but walked away just like "Meh." Steak, fries, oysters, dumplings, salad.. it's all...
I had written it was a special occasion and I would have thought it would have been acknowledged. Food was good.
great vibe and hospitality, quick wholesome food. Loved that gooey chocolate pudding
odeon always delivers good food for decent, competitive price. while the staff are better than average and by and large friendly i did feel that we were being moved along, to vacate the table, which i didnt appreciate. that being said i will go back as i have been eating there for many, many years, including the aftermath of 9/11 when they were perhaps the only restaurant in lower manhattan...
A great place to meet with friends, reliable and delicious!
Special birthday and wanted a quintessential NY experience- perfect.
We were in a bit of a rush and they were very understanding and accommodating so that it was quick but did not feel hurried. Very well done!
Great food and a lovely ambience. A place you want tot come back to!
Very normal restaurant but excellent in this category. Atmosphere between Paris and NYC. What a pity! I didn'i meet Woody!
I have been going to the Odeon for many years and have never had a bad meal there. This was the worst service I have ever experienced in all the time I've been there. This was for my birthday, by the way. My husband's drink was very delayed because, they told us, the order hadn't been placed. My cousin is a vegan and she wanted to order the oatmeal. No one could confirm if the oatmeal was vegan...
A typical evening at Odeon for us: our go-to-restaurant: good food, efficient staff: always satisfying.
The Odeon is a great restaurant . We've been going here for many years and it's service and food is always consistent. It's a great place to take out-of-towners for an old-school NYC experience. I hope it's around for many more years to come.
The Odeon has been a fixture in the neighborhood since the 1980s and retains its place as a highly recommended restaurant for me due to the consistency of the food, its quality and presentation, usually expert and unobtrusive service, and seasonal offerings. It can get really noisy inside, but an early summer's dinner outside, watching the world go by, can't be beat.
Ode to Odeon: To stay a star, remain just as you are.
Delicious summer corn ravioli with fresh truffles shaved on top. Classic profiterole dessert (a compromise for sharing -- the sundae and chocolate pudding are non pareil). Lovely, accommodating service. Noise level quite daunting.
Best burger ever Great food and service. Others in our group of 5 had a variety of dishes. All A+
The waiters are very attentive
Had the avocado toast. Food was great but portions were small.
Delicious food - noise level was disagreable. We had 3 NY strip steak frites with sauce bearnaise. For dessert we had crème brûlée, profiteroles and warm doughnuts. The food was delicious but overpriced (just coming from Paris). Accommodating, attentive service. Noise level was unpleasantly loud. It was difficult to keep our conversation going.
One of my favorite places to bring friends and business associates. Good food and service is always on point!
Always great! A very lively friendly, neighborhoodly dining experience!
Fabulous food. Great service. Very friendly. Have been eating there since the early 1980’s so it must be very good if we keep returning.
The most reliable scene, food,quatlity for almost 40 years. A New York Classic!
I'm always amazed that the Odeon is not only still going, but still going strong. I went there a few months after it opened in 1980, and have been going ever since. It was the first really good downtown restaurant, and though it has gone through some ups and downs over the years, in recent years it's been outstanding and always a pleasure. The food is excellent, the service attentive, the...
Excellent service, tasty food and a perfect Bloody Mary. It was also ideal for my friends 5 year old.
I have been going to this restaurant for years but now it has become simply exorbitantly expensive
In town for our first anniversary, Odeon delivered exactly what we wanted: great food and a lively atmosphere.
Very friendly staff. Perfect spot for brunch and lunch.
A typical evening at Odeon: gracious hosts, efficient wait/bus staff, a full restaurant of diners enjoying themselves. The cocktails were only so-so this time and the wines by the glass list is tired and needs updating. The food is always consistently good.
Great as Usual ?
Food and menu needs a little update - v small portions of fries/ salad .. why ? It’s a bistro style - keep it as such and don’t serve us amuse-bouche.. other than that all good and consistent past 25 years ... yeah been going there that long
I went to the Odeon numerous times in the 80s when I lived in New York. Brought my husband for brunch for his first time, and it was just as wonderful as I remember.
Excellent in all ways. Loved it as did my friends. A classic.
A good staple for all occasions. Solid menu with decent options done well.
I had last been at the Odeon in the late 80s, when it was THE hip place to be. I thought it had closed decades ago. But looking for a place near the Chamber St. subway stop, the Odeon showed up on Yelp so I thought, why not? Well, for better or worse, nothing had really changed: that neon clock is still on the wall, the place is still loud, boisterous and a bit expensive, and it still has that...
I was having lunch with my son who was in town from California. This is one of our favorite restaurants in all of NY. The menu is seasonal and there are choices that are always on the menu and the food is excellent. Service is always first rate. The only complaint I had on this visit was that the noise level was extremely high and sometimes I had difficulty hearing my son. If you haven't been...
Outstanding, as usual. Great place to meet people.
Our waitress seemed to hate her job. Coldest service ever - it put a real damper on our mood.
Squash blossoms! If you like them, now is the time to get them here: they’re great! Mains good too as were drinks. Never disappoints.
a great place as it always was with a charming professional staff, terrific menu and well prepared food.
The Odeon is a typical French brasserie. Not the best pick on my part for an anniversary dinner. The food, ambiance, and service were all good but nothing special. Prices for that reason I'd say are on the higher side.
It's not on the menu, but the vegan version of one of Odeon's dishes was very good.
I've been going to The Odeon for years, but my most recent visit for a midweek, midday lunch was really special. Met a friend and although the place was packed, The Odeon gave us ample time to catch up after not seeing one another for over a year. I had a delicious cucumber and avocado chilled soup, and the best tuna burger with wasabi mayonnaise that I've had in a very long time. She had a...
Still a classic-- while none of the best aspects of it have changed, it seems to have a new energy these days. Chic but unpretentious, full of energy but still comfortable and friendly. So glad that Odeon's still going strong!
Took a friend for his birthday, as I found out Odeon was one of his favorite restaurants in NYC. It lived up to his memories and I was quite taken by the place all over again myself. There was a fresh fig and arugula salad special that was absolutely superb; beautifully and subtly dressed and will remain in my food memory. My entree of mussels had a cream accented brine that called out for...
Reminded me of Langhans in London.
Great food, service excellent and wonderful ambiance.
Bit pricey but unpretentious and worth every buck.
revisited since visiting last September and the staff are just as professional and the service and food just as good. We were overcharged on the bill but after informing the waiter it was removed.
Lovely little French Bistro. Crowded and a bit noisy since very popular. We ate lunch and everything was very good. We especially liked the French onion soup and the burger and fries. The salad Nicoise was beautiful and tasty and very large. A very pleasant...
Worth booking in advance, it's a busy Broadway brasserie. The menu as well as wine list is heavily France - inspired. Good steak tartare (a little too chilled for my taste). I later went for the trout but eventually followed our server's recommendation for cod...
Great service, really good food. I highly recommend reservations- they had a very good weeknight crowd.
Went during recent visit to NYC, made a last minute reservation (highly recommended to get a table), arrived a tad early, table was set-up and we were welcome with a big smile - if you have been in NY for a few days you understand...
Went here to meet up with a family member I had not seen in 30 years. As you can imagine, we were slow to look at the menu, slow to order drinks and dinner. The wait staff was so patient and understanding when we kept...
Great place, good and fresh food, brasserie type. Had great Oysters and a delicious burger. A good test for a French restaurant is to test the crème brûlée, their was perfect.
The Odeon is a good place for lunch. We were here for a business meeting.
Service was prompt and the food was good.
We arrived late for our reservation but the reception staff were very accommodating and so friendly. We had a small wait in the bar area which was vibrant. When we were showed to our table it was lovely. Really cosy restaurant which is candle lit....
Ok so this restaurant is nice and classy. When I was searching for a restaurant for dinner I picked this place based on the number of stars and failed to look at the $$$. It's pretty pricey. I think it's worth it for a date night, but definitely not a random Tuesday. Mixed drinks run your around $17 a piece and …
The old New York, old school restaurant.The food is always delicious, the menu is " classic" but tasty, tables big enough so you can actually breathe. Chic scenery. I m glad its still around.
The best brasserie in the city that can put the smackdown on Balthzar. All the food on the menu is terrific, the drinks are great and, best of all, you don't have to deal with pesky throngs of tourists and day trippers.
I've been here twice and had the omelette with fries both times. The food was good enough to be memorable (to be fair, I'm not sure how you could mess up eggs), but the portion size could have been bigger as I definitely didn't feel full when I left either times. The service was above average, which is …
Elliott *thank you* for ensuring my clients and I had a fabulous time there! you were very engaging and hospitable! also loved your Zinfandel Red suggestion! you must let me know when you make it to Cali finally! oysters + calamari + red zin can't go wrong! historic restaurant- must try!!!
After a rude attempt at Balthazar, I walked to the Odeon and had a wonderful lunch and great service. Vegetarian Nicoise and lentil soup Great flavor and wonderful dressing! 36th anniversary of...
Impeccable service. Excellent food (as always, been there many times.) Jacob was very attentive and friendly (server). Thanks again Odeon for a delightful dining experience !! Todd Miller, Minneapolis, MN
Had lunch there yesterday. Whilst service was fine the standard of the food served was not what we expected from past experience of this restaurant. Especially for the prices being charged.
Like Balthazar, The Odeon is a New York City institution, and deserves to be. Service is always low-key and friendly but attentive and competent, and the food is conceptually simple bistro stuff, executed flawlessly. It's always a safe bet, which goes a long way to explaining why it has been around for as long as it has. When we had an early lunch there Harvey Keitel was sitting at an outside...

The food is still consistently somewhat pricey and good here. While I prefer dinner, weekend brunch is delicious too. But if you do brunch, be prepared for kids everywhere. At least, that was my...
Girls weekend in NYC and we absolutely LOVED the Odeon. Excellent service and the food was worthy of a top restaurant in the city. This will always be on my must eat at list.
Was craving french food and found this place for dinner. French onion soup was delivered with confidence and did not disappoint!The croque monsieur was also well done. I was very pleased and...
I've been a fan of Odeon since it's early days. It's still a place I would recommend to anyone. So many of the places I've loved for many years havre slipped away, but it looks like the Odeon isn't going anywhere. Thank goodness
You guys, "steak frites" is really "steak with French fries". #frenchtrickery
The servers were very nice, but based on the food I can only give this place 3 stars. I was EXTREMELY disappointed with my tuna burger. From what others say, it seems to be a specialty, but there was nothing special about it. For everyone at the table who ordered it, it came out overlooked (I got it rare) and it had absolutely no taste!
They could have just had an off night or not be good at...
Brooklyn Gin NABE: Tribeca, Manhattan- The Odeon Restaurant has been a neighborhood staple for over 3 decades. Originally a haven for artists and independents, the vibe is cool, epitomizing the luxury and excitement that, for many, New York represents. When “Bright Lights, Big City,” by Jay McInerney, immortalized the restaurant through iconic scenes, not only did New Yorkers crave to sit in...
It's a night of old favorites. Perfection
Good spot to have brunch with the family. Very traditional dining room environment and classic brunch menu.
My favourite place to eat oysters and fries by myself at the bar! They make a mean dirty martini.
Beautiful night in Tribeca.
The Odeon in TriBeCa, New York, NY Located in TriBeCa, The Odeon is a French restaurant. I am not sure I would call it a brasserie, although the decor reminds me of one (besides the low light at dinner time), and the small brasserie menu they offer (I did not see the usual escargots or steak frites though, but they had the confit de canard or duck confit, as well as the soupe à l'oignon or...
A TriBeCa icon. Allegedly, this was one of the first nicer restaurants to enter the neighborhood before it gentrified. Classic French brasserie decor with a nice outdoor seating area. Menu is a mix of French and American fare. Portion sizes are a bit small but quality is good (but not particularly distinctive). Usually pretty easy to book ahead of time on OpenTable. Outdoor area is dog...
Awesome restaurant! Food was amazing. I went there for brunch the day of my wedding. It was my first time and the restaurant provided the champagne for free! steak was delicious and I had the best cheesecake of my life there. I also recommend the warm doughnuts!
Excellent Tribeca bistro.. a neighborhood/NYC stalwart!!
After walking through a street fair in Tribeca, we stopped in The Odeon Restaurant for a light alfresco nibble. I noticed the special Sriracha bloody Mary ($13) and ordered it, wanting a spicy drink. It didn’t disappoint. The mixed green salad ($10) was plebeian, but refreshing. Just greens tossed in a light vinaigrette. What truly satisfied was the special sandwich – with lots of thinly sliced...
The first thing that stood out to me about this place was the name. I spied it from across the street as me and Lucy from “On deck with Lucy” were walking in the rain trying to find somewhere to eat.

Keith McNally's first restaurant was the epitome of downtown cool in the 80s, and guess what? It's still pretty damn cool, in an old-school, effortless way. The food is wonderful too.
Long before Balthazar, and long before Minetta, Odeon defined the quality of Keith McNally cool. Bright, classy, urbane, and reliably good at all hours of the day and night, what began as a celebrity hangout has become a New York classic.
The Eden Brook Trout was served skin on and folded closed on the quinoa, not a presentation we had seen before and initially gave the appearance of a much smaller portion than it was. However the burst of flavor in this dish was more than the sum of it's visible parts.
The meal was really good – bistro food in a fun atmosphere and also celeb sightings – I saw Helena Christiansen eat at a table near the door while I was at the bar!
...
Place is still pretty good from last time i had gone there. I wish Tony Shek was still there and from what i understand left about a decade ago. It's been a long time since i last been in NY but what great memories.
I was visiting Tribeca, and a friend told us to go to Odeon for dinner. We got to the restaurant before their dinner hours at 5:30, but they let us order from the dinner menu anyway. I ordered a hand-rolled pasta with wood mushrooms. It was quite refined and delicious.
This is a great bistro that I have been going to for years! It is the perfect place to go for late night dining or for a great brunch. All the food is done right and there is a good wine selection. There is always a very cool scene and the service is friendly and helpful.
Dinner here was not so special. Staff did an okay job, but they weren't so friendly. I wasn't blown away by the wine selection. The tartare wasn't great either. Atmosphere is okay, but all in all, this place is probably not worth the fancy prices. I would go back for a drink at the bar, but not for another meal.

Started with frisse salad with egg. Possibly one of the best salads I've eaten-ever. Crisp Frisee, bacon and some truffle oil dressing. Steak frite au poivre was tastly and cooked to perfection. The chef does the au poivre sauce sans cream, but thats ok. Washed it down with a nice chimay.
It was a Friday nice and the crowd was one of the most ecclectic mix of people I've ever seen in a NYC restaurant. And lots of babies and young kids.

I went to The Odeon on Dec 31 for lunch. We were 6 and were seated promptly. Service was good. The manager Aaron was very nice. I had the special soup for the day which had a lot of flavor, chicken breast paillard and the molten chocolate cake with hazelnut ice cream. I will definitely go back there! we spent around 300 and something which i found fine including a bottle of champagne and cocktails.
Pros

I just moved to Tribeca and have tried to understand what is up with this joint for a few times now. It never delivered to my expectations - food portions are miniscule, prices ridiculously high and a service that is absent in every possible way.

The Odeon was a huge disappointment. My wife and I could not understand why people seem to like the place so much. The service was decent, but the most important component, the food, was lacking in every way. There was no color to our plates--everything was a pale yellow or greenish-gray My wife paid $14 for a soggy salad that would barely suffice as a first course. My eggs benedict were subpar in every way--the English muffin was burnt, the bearnaise sauce without any flavor and the potatoes which accompanied my dish were gooey, charred and again, flavorless. None of the ingredients...

Odeon is nothing special. I don't understand why this place is always over crowded with people are starving. Plus I have to wait for at least 30 min. whenever I go there. Their food is nothing special. But it is a sort of safe zone to provide an average food. But don't expect too much. I prefer Baltazar or Pastis rather than Odeon.

My experience couldn't be more different from the previous review! Everyone from the hostess to the bartender was extremely nice. The waitstaff was very attentive. Try the spinach salad with goat cheese and pine nuts - well seasoned and the spinach was fresh. I also had a delicious fig tart which was absolutely delicious. In fact, given the large volume of people who walk in and out, I didn't think that either service or food was compromised at all. Highly recommended.

What happened? – What happened to The Odeon? Lately, the odds of getting good service is 50/50. We were there about a month ago and the guy was on top of everything. But last week, another guy, forgot we were there. Still...the food is consistently good. The calamari is excellent, as is the lamb.

I have an ex who calls this place the Odious, but it's said with love. Once a scene-and-a-half in the eighties, it's now just another place, often frequented by those who have much more extreme memories of its early days. the food is stil...

To start off your meal, the bread basket filled with yummy cranberry scones, pumpkin bread and corn bread that is worth the trip alone even if you don't order another thing. Wash it down with their rich coffee and order the Eggs Benny- its to die for. Not overly buttery or lemony and they don't over-cook the eggs like some inconsiderate chefs like to maliciously do. The potatoes are seasoned to perfection and shaped into a wedge that is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. If it's a nice day sit outside- there is alot of foot traffic in front but not alot of cars on the weekend,...

Great French & Reasonable – I had lunch there 2 weeks ago with a friend. Since I'm a great fan of all French food, this place didn't disappoint. Food & service was delicious & attentive repectively.

Bread Basket to DIE FOR. – i would HIGHLY recommend this for brunch. Not for the main entree, the staff or the ambience...but for the bread basket. i have never ate something so yummy. This was no poor man's bread. This was heaven...scones as far as the eye could see, the best scones i've ever had! Corn bread that beats cheese cake...and a raison bread like you would not believe. Please go! But leave your low carb diet at home!

A mecca during the hard-partying, decadent '80s, now the familiar burgundy and black banquettes and lazy ceiling fans create a comfortable, stylish neighborhood vibe. The brasserie-style menu remains relatively unchanged, featuring classic ...
My Favorite Brunch Downtown – They have excellent brunch. If you get there around noon it's not too crowded - after that you might have to wait a few mins. Generous portions and their eggs benedict is always excellent. Good waitstaff.

Ooh! La La! My first Dinner experience at The Odeon was simply fabulous! Food was great. Ambience was casual yet stylish, and the service was superb. The wait staff were a sexy group of professional actor types...and don't miss the gorgeous Maitre'D, Sal! This restaurant comes very highly recommended! I loved it!

This restaurant was recommended to us ""out of towners"" by some local friends, and we weren't disappointed. Sure, the wait was a bit long for a table, but the service was good and the food was pretty good too. I had the grilled tuna, served medium rare, and it was cooked just right. The vinegarette-marinated onions and garlic it was served with provided an unusual (but very good) change of pace. The calimari was great, too. Dessert portions were a bit skimpy though. We had the flourless chocolate cake with pistacio ice cream - the cake looked about the size of the bottom half of a cupcake,...

I don't know what haricot vert might be, but I agree with the last poster. Anything but the spinach. My date and I suspected uneaten portions are secretly being recycled from plate to plate, which is commendable from an environmental point of view but makes for a perilous dining experience.
Too bad, because the Roquefort Burger is delicious. Next time, though, I'm sticking with the fries.
Pros
+ Roquefort Cheese
Cons
- spinach

the food is great, the service is always friendly and attentive, the ambience is classic. overall it is always a great experience except for one small detail. the spinach sucks. it is way overcooked and not flavorful. if spinach comes with your dish - ask to have it replaced with the much better haricot verts.

This downtown restaurant serves French brasserie style food in an upscale cafeteria setting. The Odeon was the center of all that was cool in New York City during the high-rolling 1980s. Although its glory days are long gone, it remains a stylish bar and restaurant patronized by the now aging, upscale hipsters who live in and around its Tribeca neighborhood. Unfortunately, the staff remains...
