A new wine bar and French restaurant has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Located at 491 Columbus Ave. on the Upper West Side, the newcomer is called Le Petit Rooster.
Led by chef Alex Tobar, a former sous chef to restaurateur Jose Andres, Le Petit Rooster offers contemporary takes on classic French dishes. On the menu, guests will find starters like ratatouille dip; escargots with black garlic and bone marrow butter; mocha foie gras served with whiskey French toast; and steak tartare with chili mustard, mango and pineapple.
For entrees, Le Petit Rooster specializes in rotisserie platters for two. Try the classic white wine-brined roast chicken, the Poulet Creole with chili rub or the dry-aged cote de boeuf. Other entrees include seafood options, and the restaurant's wine list features more than 50 French wines. Happy hour specials are available Monday-Saturday, and the kitchen serves sweet and savory brunch options on Sundays.
The new spot has proven popular thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 18 reviews on Yelp.
