The Scene – Fifth Avenue is newly flooded with lunchtime options, and peckish Slopers won't find a more charming option than this. Parisian bistro chic meets countryside kitsch in the buttery-walled bar and dining room, decked with signature ceramic mustard and spice jars. As sunbeams pouring through the large windows give way to soft sconce lights, the laid-back afternoon crowd yields to a sexier scene. – – The Food – The restaurant's menu features artfully rethought bistro classics. Namesake mustard adds textured zest to the perfect gruyere-smothered croque monsieur…

Tres Horrible

The got the firtes right but the steak was the opposite of fresh. How can you serve an old piece of spoiled steak? It so obviously past its date that only a completely dysfunctional kitchen could put out food like that. Never going back.

Credit Card Fraud Abounds

by bouncingsoul66

We went to Moutarde one night for dinner on a week night. The place was dead, but the food was phenomenal. We decided to go back on a Saturday night, and the place was packed. The food was significantly different from what we had the previous night?apparently, Moutarde is not capable of juggling many orders at once, and the food suffers for it. Regardless, the food was still pretty decent. My big problem was the service. It took us 10 minutes to get drinks, and 30 minutes to get our appetizers. Our waitress didn't check on us once, and after waiting nearly an hour for our entrees (an hour after we waited a half hour for our appetizers, if you're keeping track) I flagged her down and asked her what the deal was. She was surprised to hear that we hadn't gotten our meals, which further demonstrates her lack of attention to us.

Because the service was so bad, we left a 10% tip, only to find in our credit card statement that the inept staff at Moutarde is also keen to dabble in a little credit card fraud. They had added money to the check, bringing the tip up to 20% rather than the 10% we left that the waitress, quite frankly, didn't deserve.

Even with the good food and atmosphere, the terrible service and CRIMINAL activity will prevent me from ever going back.

Dine at your own risk?and pay with cash.

  • Pros: food, atmosphere
  • Cons: terrible service, credit card fraud

incredible food and service

by marly41

I come here often with my husband and am always pleased by the extraordinary service, not to mention the delicious food. The burgers at brunch are to die for and I strongly recommend the pan served salmon and goat cheese pillows with the gratin potatoes as a side for dinner. The wines by the glass are not bad but I suggest ordering a french martini or even a bloody mary (very chunky and spicy!) The service is always attentive, but not aggressive. The waitress that we usually have is so warm and genuinely seems to care about our dining experience. Mustard is now my new favorite condiment!!!!!
