Brasserie Cognac East: French Cuisine & Cocktails in NYC

Loved the food and vibe here! The Cheese Puff Gougeres were like a warm, light, flakey, cheese hug — highly recommend as a starter. The Cognac Waygu burger was incredible, with caramelized onions and a juicy, savory patty. I loved the crispy fries that came with it. The Spicy Vodka Rigatoni had a light flavor, could’ve been dialed up a few notches. The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, romantic French atmosphere, quality food and top notch service!

Came here for brunch, was seated quickly. My partner and I both had the eggs Benedict (classic and salmon) and we really enjoyed it! The sauce was amazing, flavors was on point. The guest I was with had the scrambled eggs and they said it was great!

A great place for a warm cozy meal! Service was outstanding. Well organized and fast a great crew! Food was very good. For me the goat cheese tart was my favorite. The steaks we had were ok but the knives were sooo dull that cutting them was a real chore. Beef bourbon was not as complex as it could be, Julia would be not happy. French onion soup very tasty and for desert the profiteroles were outstanding. The menu lacks the classic french flair but overall a good meal.

Great service and delicious food. My friend and I had the avocado toast, kale quinoa salad, and crème brûlée. Their Sauv Blanc is the perfect amount of sweet!

I was visiting a friend at a nearby hospital and after leaving wanted to treat myself to a wonderful steak dinner. A quick search brought me to Brasserie Cognac. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and brought to a seat. I felt welcomed from the first interaction. I was brought some water and bread with their delicious butter. I saw Escargot on the menu and couldn't remember if I had ever tried it so I ordered that as a starter. It paired well with the buttery garlic crostini and had a nice bite to it. For my main course, I ordered the filet mignon (cooked to perfection at medium rare) which came with mashed potatoes and gravy, and I substituted Brussels sprouts for the asparagus. I had a pleasant Malbec to go with my steak. The filet mignon was delicately seasoned, moist, tender and went well with the potatoes and gravy. The Brussels are standard and delish. I ended my meal with a tasty Crème Brulée that I enjoyed very much. I was grateful for my server offering suggestions from the menu and being attentive throughout my experience. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. #itsfoodovereverything

Enjoyed our night at Brasserie Cognac this evening. The food was good. I had the duck. It was good but not great. We also had the Salmon and that was out of this world. The cheese puffs were really good as well. The onion soups were good and just the right size. So often the soups are too large but this was the right size. I’ll be back.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Got promptly taken care of at host stand. Our waiter immediately paid attention to outperform table, service was personal & very professional. Shared a frisée salad, and each had an entree sized classic steak tartar. Both dishes were superb! The experience was truly delightful from beginning to end. Decor a bit tired. Highly recommended.

Small, but cute. The food is good. All we had a couple of drinks and appetizers at the bar. Calamari were good, but portions are small.
