Whoever said New Yorker's were not friendly has never been to Match 65. This lively upper east side bistro is bound to make anyone feel welcome. The french doors open onto the street allowing passerby's to take in the merriment as it spills out. Once inside Match 65, you wil be greeted either by the warm Maitre d, the beautiful... More

Nice French restaurant and reasonably priced for NYC. Less touristy then the theatre district and attracts a local croud. Service was great and unpretentious. The food was excellent and reminded me of a Paris cafe - except, for the fact that you can get a cheeseburger in Match 65. But, I am not sure why you would want to pay... More

We visited during the week for lunch. I had the steak frites and my mother had the mussels. Both were wonderful...and the Bernie's sauce was as promised! The restaurant was small and very busy...reminiscent of a bistro in France! The service was fantastic! I highly recommend. More

Great food and great service equal great experience! We were visiting New York for a long week end, and Match 65 turned out to be one of our favorite part of the trip. After a late night out on Friday, Saturday brunch was the way to go. I'd definitely recommend the brioche french toast or the steak frites with Bearnaise... More

A great place to set you up for an afternoon of shopping on Madison Avenue and a great escape from New York when you enter this truly authentic French Bistro. Beautiful and warm decor, great atmosphere, excellent food and knowledgeable staff. More

We were in NYC at the Affinia Garden hotel to celebrate my mother's 88 th Birthday, our experience at Match 65 was superb, which we found on TripAdvisor, a highlight of our weekend, besides going to the Frick Collection, what a location, what amazing service . Looking forward to returning to Match65 for their Sunday Brunch, a classic classy Brassiere,... More
