Just the right size. Decorated perfectly. Menu had an asian influence. Food was superb. Staff worked well together. Would definitely return. One strange occurance, the waiter would not let me take my leftover mussels home AND there were MANY! I so wanted them (they were delicious.) He insisted it was policy. Is this a normal NYC restaurant policy? signed, Still hungry.

Great food and ambiance! A little piece of Paris in NYC!

Met friends for a last-minute Sunday brunch. We were impressed with the breadth of choices. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the wait-staff could not have been nicer. The food was excellent. A bit of Paris on the UES. I will go again, for lunch or dinner. Will be alert for service gaffs pointed out by prior reviewers, but experienced no such problems at this excellent brunch.

I agree with the comments on the service at Le Charlot - it is beyond belief bad. I think they probably employ people who are doing temporary work as waiters, and most of them are not pleasant or helpful (or even good looking, as someone wrote here) and know nothing about working in a restaurant.
But if you can forget about that and ignore their rudeness, which I do because frankly those people don't matter at all to me, you will find a nice little French bistro with good food in an excelent location. Price is about right, and the crowd mostly European, so they look a little different than your regular NYC crowd. I find it refreshing, and go there sometimes just for the change of pace. French or Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese are heard regularly, and I find that interesting.
Oh, and I also don't feel I have to tip, if the service is bad. And I don't feel guilty not doing so.

The scenario: decided to get after dinner drinks and dessert at this charming French bistro to cap off a wonderful evening with a dear friend who recently moved to the neighborhood. We told our intentions to the older gentleman at the door and we were seated inside where the music was louder than ideal but didn't request it to be lowered as we were only going to be there a short while. A waitress promptly came to our table and brusquely asked us what we wanted to drink. We said we would like to see the wine menu to which she replied they only have one white and three reds from which to choose. As she was serving our wine selections, I asked her for the dessert menu. She brought it to us muttering that she thought we wanted cocktails and that was why she didn't provide the wine list (which was conspicuously located at the bottom of the dessert menu). Although it would have been nice to choose from the fourteen or so white and red wine options, we let it go for what we had ordered was adequate. A different waiter returned and took our dessert order for a slice of chocolate cake. Twenty minutes passed and we joked that they must be baking the cake for us. More time passed and still no cake. So we asked for the check and not only we were billed for the cake but we were also overcharged for the wine. My friend asked for the cake to be removed but didn't mention the price discrepancy for the wine as we wanted to keep the interaction simple. While we were waiting for the adjusted bill, a third waiter brought the long awaited piece of chocolate cake which we declined as we were ready to quit this disappointing place. We were handed the revised bill along with some flan as a makegood. We courteously accepted and ate it. We agreed that their flan was mediocre (and I love flan). We paid the bill and reluctantly tipped the inept wait staff as my friend lives around the corner and wanted to keep things on the positive side...
