most of these reviews are way off. total tourist trap, not even close in terms of food quality.

you must have the frites. great staff.

We didn't make a reservation in advance so it took as 1h15m to get a table. It was worth the wait; during the wait we walked around the meat packing district and then had a couple glasses of champange and people watched.

It is loud and full of people, there seemed to be quite a few first or second dates. Great tradition french food; the ...

big, loud, fun and the food is good. My steak was perfect and the fries we better.

Pastis is great especially for lunch, but also for dinner. The always seem to have a good crowd. If your into celebrities, you can occasionally find them at Pastis.

food is below average and ambiance is above average on good nights, pretty good value.

A bit pricey, but the food is worth it!

They don't have a lot of outdoor seating, but what they do have is prime real estate. Good food, right in the heart of the meat packing district.

Weekend brunch in NYC is always one of the two day that people look forward to. Where to gooooooooooo?? Then there is Pastis, It is a place where yo can meet similar people and get a chance to eat with local and domestic celebrities. I love the eggs there and the warm goat cheese salad.
Make a reservation. Always packed to the brim. Lots of people have the same idea as you to go. so get there early if you want to eat.
