Le Rock

"You might head to Rockefeller Center only once a year to glance at a very tall tree that was sacrificed to wear an outfit of colored lights. This brasserie from the Frenchette team is another reason to go there. You’ll see plenty of raw bar items on the menu, in addition to classics like buttery and garlicky escargots. But the meat dishes are priority number one. The bison au poivre is ridiculously tender. Even though Le Rock is technically in Midtown, it feels a lot like a downtown bistro with a crowd that’s energetic and a vibe that’s sceney (in a good way)." - bryan kim, will hartman, hannah albertine, kenny yang

"An elegant, Art Deco marquee restaurant by the Frenchette team, known for its universally well-reviewed offerings." - Emma Orlow

"Le Rock, from chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson of Tribeca’s popular Frenchette, has become a Midtown classic. The menu lists tripe, sweetbreads, and escargot, but there’s also standard corporate-card fare like steak hache and shrimp cocktail. The busy, high-ceilinged dining room manages to feel fitting of both a celebratory dinner and after-work drinks." - Eater Staff

"On Wednesday, December 4th, Le Rock will host a golden age soirée. This exclusive holiday party takes inspiration from the glamorous energy of the 1950s and will give guests a front row seat to the tree lighting. Priced at $350 per ticket (not including tax), expect an open bar, amuse-bouches, and a lavish raw bar." - Kevin Chau

"Le Rock's $185 three-course prix fixe menu hasn’t been announced just yet, but here are two important things we do know. One: This brasserie inside Rockefeller Center is very good. Two: The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree will be up and decorated by Thanksgiving (though it won’t be lit). Start your holiday season off with a two-for-one bang." - neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
