" Although I found the food decent, the service didn't quite elevate the experience as I had hoped. The staff was polite but felt slightly rushed. I appreciated the classic French decor—it sets a lovely atmosphere. I tried the seafood dishes which were good, but I wouldn't say they were mind-blowing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience at Le Coucou! This place has become my favorite fine dining restaurant in NYC. The decor is sophisticated, and the food is executed flawlessly. The highlight for me was the lobster dish—it was heavenly! Great wine choices too. The service was attentive without being overbearing. I truly look forward to every visit here. Highly recommend for anyone wishing to treat themselves! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at Le Coucou was delightful and worth the Michelin star hype! We tried the sweetbreads and duck, and both were crafted to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive which made the experience more enjoyable. One small downside was that the portions felt slightly smaller than we expected. Overall, it was a fantastic evening that I would recommend for anyone looking for authentic French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Le Coucou was a truly unforgettable experience! We came in without reservations and were greeted warmly, which set the tone for the evening. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was a testament to French culinary art. I particularly enjoyed the veal sweetbreads. They were cooked perfectly and so incredibly tender. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say that I was overly impressed with my visit. While Le Coucou has a lovely ambiance, the food, unfortunately, did not meet my expectations considering its Michelin star. The lamb was a bit on the gamey side and not well-seasoned. On top of that, my waiter didn't seem very knowledgeable and was quite abrupt in his demeanor. I might give it another shot due to the rave reviews but my first experience was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing dining experience last week! The atmosphere was intimate and romantic—a perfect setting for date night. My husband ordered the tuna, which was delightful, while I went for the rabbit served in three distinct preparations. It was a very unique and satisfying meal. The service was friendly but a bit slow during the peak hours. Nonetheless, I would come back for those beautiful flavors and lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a restaurant to remember! The food at Le Coucou was simply exquisite. My girlfriend and I were in awe of the flavors presented in each dish. We had the leeg pièce, and duck which were cooked to perfection. The setting is also stunningly beautiful—perfect for a romantic night out. This is going on my list of favorite spots!
