Best kept secret in Midtown 8/12/2009

Everything from the wait staff to the cuisine and the wine are top notch. My husband and I love to go for pre-theatre dinner, and we have never been disappointed. Definately recommend it. Pros: Excellent Seasonal Menu Cons: Small space, but it is Manhattan after all more

great dinner 11/11/2008

It's pricey but worth it especialy if you can manage to make this a ""business"" dinner. The service is amazing, wines are amazing, and the food amazing. The portions are a bit small and everything is generally overpriced but the whole package makes it a great dinning experience more

Heavenly food, great service and ambience 10/18/2008

We have been here twice now and could not be happier. The food is absolutely heavenly: sophisticated without being over the top or too complicated. We were swooning particularly over the scallops, venison and lamb, but all our selections were wonderful. Wine offerings made beautiful pairings, dessert did not disappoint, and I appreciated the fine selection of loose-leaf teas. Service was exactly right: friendly but not intrusive, knowledgeable and available. We like to sit in the bar area, which does not feel cramped. Decor is also just right. This is an intimate environment for a date or a couple of good friends, a marked contrast to Boulud's bustling Bistro Moderne a few doors down which is all expense-account diners. Triomphe is now our first choice for dinner in the Theater District. more

Unexpectedly great restaurant 1/13/2007

Small space, but very friendly - both the atmosphere and the staff. Some nice French wines on the list - even some reasonably priced older vintages. Scallops were very nice but the perfectly cooked ribeye with a phenomenal spinach-based sauce stole the show - probably one of the best steaks I have had in my life and a lot of food. Desserts were also good (though not superb) and the overall experience was top notch. I would definitely recommend Triomphe to anyone - and reservations don't appear too hard to get (at least during the week) so that's even better. Pros: Great food, friendly service, pretty good value more

Theater-District Gem 1/3/2007

What a lovely little restaurant. Small, but charming ambiance. Excellent service. Very good food. I've been here 6 times and will keep coming back whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I would like to see a little more variety in the menu, though. It doesn't change much, and could get boring if you visit often. Pros: Food, service, ambiance Cons: Menu variety more

Such a nice staff. 11/13/2006

I arrived there, and from the second I walked in the door the host, server and GM were nothing short of amazing. Being a young girl, you sometimes can get bad service, but they treated me like I was walking in there with an AMEX black card. The wine list was great and the cheese sampler was INCREDIBLE. We were checked up on often and got anything we asked for quickly. I def. reccomend. Pros: staff, wine list, cheese sampler more

Good food, but too cramped 8/8/2006

We decided to try this place for our pre-theatre dinner because of the great reviews here and on other websites. The food was good, but we were disappointed at how small and cramped the space was. We were seated very close to other people, so the setting was not very romantic or intimate at all. If you're looking for romance, don't come here during peak times. Also, service was a bit slow, and we didn't have enough time to get dessert before having to leave for the 8pm show (we were seated at 6pm). Pros: Food, proximity to Theatre District Cons: Small, cramped space more

Great choice for French. 5/13/2006

Real value here. Several times to this stellar French venue in midtown. Signature dish scallops - silky mushroom deglaze, scallops themselves beautifully textured-pan-seared to crunchy perfection in beautiful contrast to the natural texture and juiciness of the scallop. Very artful. Muscovy duck-super ingredients and purity of flavor here. Attention to detail, integrity of natural flavors, and excellent service are the hallmarks here. Kudos to Zobel and staff! Not to mention the winelist - try a Nicholas Potel 2002 Burgundy for $36. Wow! Pros: Great value for price, wine list, intimate, attractive more

Tired Voyeur 5/10/2006

After a long day working in the city this out of towner loves to sit at the bar and graze off the Triomphe menu. The little bar bustles with activity as the theatre crowd and hotels guests come and go. Watch the city gear up and let the bartender select the wine and drinks for each course. First class dining in a first class town. more

Triomphe is a triumph 4/2/2006

An oasis with subdued lighting, accents of colors, and tiered, recessed ceiling are a wonderful backdrop for a sumptuous meal, elegantly and perfectly presented at every turn. The chef and staff are inviting and exemplify star-level service. Pros: Food, Ambience, Staff more

Excellent across the board 12/7/2005

I hosted a group of 11 adults last June. Every aspect of our wining and dining experience was superb. Youthful, exhuberant, friendly, attentive service. Magnificent food. Marvelous wine selection (correctly poured). Charming ambience. And excellent value, considering the mid-town location. As an aside, I find that reviewers' comments regarding value (too expensive, overpriced and so on) must be taken with a grain of seasalt, since that is so often a subjective appraisal based on one's position on the socio-economic scale (i.e., annual income). Pros: Everthing more

waitstaff quite knowledgeable, in my opinion 11/9/2005

Rebuttal to previous post: I frequent Triomphe and see waiters fielding ridiculous questions to provide service for guests. Last week, the poor waitress was asked about the reasoning behind the name of a wine bottle, nothing about the wine itself. Rather than shrug off the question, one of self-indulgent nonsense, she called the wine representative for the answer. The guest then chose another wine, butchering the name of the winemaker in the process, causing the waitress to have to ask the guest to point it out. For the previous poster's reference, I know for a fact that the Moulin de Lagnet is the ONLY red Bordeaux by the glass, so she could not have made that mistake you assume she made. More credit should be given to those that provide not only the transportation of your food, as you put it, but a large part of your overall dining experience. Pros: excellent food, decor, exceptional service more

A Winner 8/22/2005

Triomphe is a wonderful place to dine if you're going to the theatre or not. The food is extraordinary, the service is friendly and professional, and the ambience is wonderful. It's a small and intimate place where the wait staff know what is being served. All four of us had different entrees and we were all delighted. The lamb and guinea hen are fantastic choices. Pros: excellent food, great service, knowledgeable staff more

Just Average 8/13/2005

We tried Triomphe for dinner before seeing a show. The food wasn't particulary French, but on average was good. Nothing truly memorable about the meal and no standout dishes. The wine list is competent. I tend to be rather picky, as I dine out a lot, and my companion seemed to enjoy her dinner slightly more than me, although she was not wowed. If you want a solid meal before heading down the street to Broadway, Triomphe definitely is one of the many good choices in the neighborhood. Although next time, I will try a different restaurant in the hopes that I will be wowed. Pros: decent food Cons: just OK more
