Excellent. Loved Jolie on a recent late summer night. The Garden is beautiful, service impeccable and all of our food was delicious from appetizer to dessert. Very romantic and well-appointed. I can't wait to go back!

French Beauty in Bklyn's Backyard. I'm a Brooklyn Girl all the way, and it's nice to visit such a classy, tasteful scene Downtown. The food was excellent (especially the hanger steak with sauteed onions---and the Apple Tart - sinfully delicious) and the service was incredibly friendly and accomodating. The ambiance had me sold from the minute I walked into the backyard for dining alfresco on a beautiful summer evening. Even the ladies room is cute - candlelit and clean! I'm definitely adding this to my fav list of spots to visit.

A neighborhood keeper!. I've had the pleasure of eating at Jolie a couple of times now and each time I've had a great experience. The ambience is sophisticated, yet soothing creating a great environment to take a date. The food is very tasty, especially the skate and the hangar steak and the wine list is well thought out and provides really good value. The service has always been terrific and professional. If the weather ever warms up, I can't wait to dine in their outdoor garden!

Atlantic Avenue bistro with standard French fare and lots of heart..
The Scene
From the enthusiastic greeting of "Bonjour!" at the door to the playful prints of French ladies dotting the walls, there's nothing shy about this bistro. Behind the curved marble bar lies the small dining room with striking red banquette seating. Service is friendly, if sometimes overeager.
The Food
Heed this advice: the more French the dish, the better the experience. Forego the less-impressive crab cake pyramid in favor of snails in mushroom caps, generously bathed in garlic and parsley, or the savory oxtail terrine, which seduces with complex texture and flavors. Among entrees, the tender hanger steak--heavy with the taste of shallots--is even more pleasing when paired with a side of sauteed spinach. The seafood-heavy bouillabaisse puts most to shame, though the lamb shank is bland. Do not miss the crepes suzette, which end the meal on a high note.

Tres Jolie!!!. From the moment I walked in I felt as if everything about this restaurant was "pretty"; from the bartenders and waitstaff to the red velvet banquette, old school french posters on the wall, and gold marble bar. As I sat to eat with a large group of friends I had high hopes for evening and Jolie delivered! The presentation of all the dishes were "c'est magnifique". The Herring appetizer was amazing and the crab cake with its sauce were my favorite. By the end of the meal I was absolutely in love with the Hanger Steak (which i have been back for several times). The portions are a lot larger than I expected making me feel like it was worth every penny. And the wine list was unbelievably inexpensive for the quality. I recommend the Spanish Rioja. This spot is hot!
