" We adored our evening! The fresh oysters are always a must when we come, and they didn’t disappoint. My partner had the steak frites, which was cooked exactly to order. I enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine that paired perfectly with our meal. The service was friendly and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Will definitely return to AOC East again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Another delightful meal at AOC East! I’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The entire vibe of the place feels comforting, like home. The French onion soup is a must-try; it’s piping hot and delicious. I had the steak frites this time, and the steak was cooked to perfect medium-rare. They really know how to treat their customers right. Made for a perfect evening with friends! Can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" AOC is one of those rare finds that takes you straight to France. The ambiance transports you to a quaint French café from the moment you walk in. We were a group of friends, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share. The escargot was fabulous, and the mussels were fresh and delicious. We couldn't help but compliment the chef! Our waiter, Remy, provided exceptional service, accommodating our shared plates and making us feel welcome. I haven’t had this much fun dining in a while. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic French food in a laid-back environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had to drop in for a quick lunch between errands. The croque monsieur caught my eye, and I’m so glad I ordered it! Perfectly cheesy and crispy, paired with a delightful side salad. The staff were so accommodating, and the ambiance is cozy and fun. A great spot to unwind and enjoy a meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This bistro had some of the best escargot I've tasted in the area—cooked to perfection with just the right amount of butter and herbs. The rest of the meal was delightful, and I loved the atmosphere! It felt authentically French and everywhere you look, there's something charming. The service was great until it got really busy towards the evening. They didn’t have our dessert ready at first, but they swiftly corrected it. Definitely a place to return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" AOC East is a delightful little French bistro tucked away on the Upper East Side. I popped in for a quick lunch and was charmed by the cozy vibe. I ordered the croque monsieur, which was perfectly crispy and gooey with cheese. The side salad was fresh and tasty. The portion was just right for lunch. The service was attentive and friendly. A perfect spot for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This bistro encapsulates what it means to experience authentic French food! Their ratatouille was colorful, fresh, and simply delightful. I brought a friend visiting from Paris, and they raved about how true to flavor it was. The service was friendly and efficient. Perfect spot for casual dining or a celebration with friends. We had a great time! " (*Curated Review*)
