About this business

Editorial fromThe East Village is home to scads of bistros, and one of the standouts is Casimir, a hangout for young French expats. The waiters will be unimpressed with your high school francais, so don't even bother trying. Just ask for your…

delicious food, good specials – Casimir is almost always packed, but I've never had to wait more than 15/20 minutes for a table. Though you will undoubtedly be seated at a table with what seems like barely enough room (no matter what the size of your party), the warm atomosphere is worth the cramped quarters- you'll have fun and forgot about the tight spot you're in. The waitstaff are all very busy, it's not outstanding service, but I've never been dealt with rudely. Of course the reason its so packed is because the food is ... read more

Don't be misled by other reviews – This is a nice restaurant with good food. The service is poor during peak hours, but overall it is a place that I will visit again. I recommend any of the duck dishes, but stay away from the escargo.

don't be misled by idiots – this restaurant serves consistently yummy food, the wines are very good, the ambiance is mellow and sexy, and the service is just fine. the only problem i see is the neighborhood it's in - it's definitely a more upscale place than every other dump on avenue b. perhaps that's why the boors who rated it poorly disliked it - they're expected to behave like civilized humans instead of the vulgar animals spilling out of the dives down the block...

No excuse for that type of behavior – I made a reservation for this place in the afternoon specifically for an outdoor table. When we arrived, the guy near the garden(who later said that he was the manager) was horribly rude. First, he didnt even look me in the eye when I asked about our reservation. Then he insisted that they didnt take reservations for the garden. I can understand that type of policy but he was thoroughly unapologetic. He basically insinuated that I was lying about the reservation and shooed us to the bar.... read more

deeelish – this is an amazing place- i've been going for three years now, and have yet to have a negative experience. i've gone with dates, for birthdays or just to hang out. the ambiance is amazing, the french waiters are extremely cute and charming, the food is great and the prices are to match-plus in the summer the courtyard is wonderful. definitely check it out.

Rude, Boring, Expensive – One of first things you learn in the restaurant business is not to make fools of your clientle. I went for dinner with group of friends. Had a very nice Vaqueras. Ordered a second bottle of the same wine which turned out to be completely corked. Four astute wine drinking friends confirmed this. However the manager, who refused to come to our table to discuss it, said we were wrong (through the poor waitress) and would not replace our bottle. Not only did he ruin our dinner, but we'll never go back. ... read more

Upscale Neighborhoody – Pretty good food for a neighborhood place. I wouldn't expect it to be as good as it is. Recently I had the salmon while my friend had the halibut and both were really good. Desserts- also good. Nothing groundbreaking but I had no real complaints The atmosphere is pleasant enough, just don't sit near the window if it's very cold outside. You'll freeze. Service is very pleasant, but a little careless. The backup service (runners, bussers, etc.) was great though.

What a lovely, little place! – Stopped by for an early dinner on Sunday and this place is just about the coziest neighborhood joint around. Everyone seemed to know each other, and added to the warm ambiance. Our order was taken immediately; the food was excellent and served quickly. Most of us ordered their specials and they were definitely special (fresh, yummy, straightforward). Their mixed drinks weren't so good, but they have nice selection of wines. The prices are very reasonable and if you're looking for a place to bec... read more
