"Stumbled upon this lively restaurant while walking to Union Square. We had a fabulous lunch served by Maritza and the whole experience was unforgettable. First the food- bread was excellent, water glass constantly refreshed……I had quiche of the day with salad, and hubby had the Spanish omelette. We both scraped our plates clean it was so freakin delicious. Both were loaded with veggies, and seasoned lightly to perfection. I opted for a glass of wine and when I asked our server about the grape of wine, she checked with the bartender and also went online to their website to give me the exact blend. Much more info than I expected for sure. It was also delicious… then panna cotta for dessert…. Heavenly! Truly I think this is the kind of place you can order anything and not be disappointed. Staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. This is the kind of place I love to support. Thank you Maritza for the excellent experience!"

"Absolutely incredible experience at L’Express! The food was outstanding — every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The drinks were just as impressive, beautifully balanced and delicious. The ambiance was exactly what you’d hope for: lively yet cozy, with that classic New York charm that makes you want to stay for hours. A special shoutout to our server, German, whose exceptional attention and warmth made the evening even better. He was attentive without being intrusive and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back — L’Express truly delivers on every level!"

"L’express has been my go-to for over a decade. Best late night steak tartare and French onion soup. Love this place forever. Our server, Moises, was wonderful, kind and attentive. Thank you!"

"Loved waitress Carmen almost as much as the croque monsieur. We had several tasty espresso martinis. Great location for a ladies gossip night under dim lighting, hard to identify faces which is good for this type of discussion with the tea we're dropping. Bathrooms very nice. Thank you Carmen!!!!"

"It’s the only place in NYC that you feel that you are in a fine dinning experience after midnight, the servers are really cool. German twice took care of me. Nice!
