Jules Bistro, Manhattan

Great jazz. Friendly, intimate atmosphere in a trendy area of town. Warning: they only accept Amex but have cashpoint at back of restaurant.

This place has a great atmosphere, good food, and a variety of live entertainment. The host and staff are warm and attentive. The place is intimate, but what a nice evening for a romantic date (not quiet) or a fun dinner amoungst friends! As a life-long New Yorker, I have to say this place has it together...

This was the second time I have been at Jules Bistro. The food was deliscious, the location is very nice. This restaurant seemed to me like a little piece of Paris in Manhattan! It sounds wonderful but, unfortunately my experience was terribly unpleasant. We gave them over 10 % of the tip and we were attacked by 2 waiters. They came back to us, insulting and embarrasing us in front of all other customers, in front of the whole restaurant. And why? Because there seams to be an unwritten law at this place to pay a 15 % tip. If only they had communicated this in a friendly an professional way. Maybe writing it on the menu could be helpful. We gave them a 12 dollar tip, and they demanded 5 dollars more. We gave them the extra 5 dollars, even though they did not deserve it, and they shouted at us to never come back again. This may sound like a bad movie, but it is reality. I don't know what is wrong with these waiters. Maybe they just wanted to ruin some people's nice evening. One thing is for sure, we will never come back, but we hope that things like this will never happen to you. It is not a good feeling to be treated like dirty thieves after paying 125 dollars including more then 10% tip for a delicious meal and get chased from the restaurant. My boyfriend is French and he felt very sad to see waiters of a french restaurant be that unfriendly and unprofessional - But never mind, there are more then 40 other French restaurants in New York City with well behaved, civilized, and welcoming waiters.
