    Terrible, Terrible, Terrible! I wouldn't feed what they are serving to my dog!! Soups are watered down and taste-less...steaks dry and rubbery, rude staff (I think I heard someone call her by the name of Danielle) staff shouldn't be eating while serving!! Long waits, disapointing food, never again.

    Small but Quaint: We love to go to this restaurant. It's very tiny but the food is very good. Our favorites are the french onion soup, escargot and fondues. If you go...order the cheese fondue with baguette and the chocolate fondue for dessert!!!

    A Marvelous French Choice: As you may guess by the name, La Bonne Soupe's specialty is soup. The prie-fixe menu is a steal for the area, only costing $14, including a glass of beer or wine, and good liquor at that, not the dregs or leftovers. The soups are excellent all around (especially the French Onion), and even the non-soup choices, like the filet mignon, are just as well-done. The interior is earthy and tries to transport you to a sleepy village in Normandy. The three upstairs outdoor tables are perfect in the summer and are good date choices, since they are somewhat secluded and private. Of all the restaurants in Manhattan, this is the one I frequent the most.
