Chagall Bistro is great! Great because they are authentic. As a kosher restaurant it is difficult to bring the exact cuisine to fruition but Chagall does not fail. Being, that the owners are French brings everything to a whole new level.
I celebrated my birthday here! Pictures and descriptions posted below.
Absolute pleasure.
From start to finish, it was so much fun. Service was top notch – Food was out of this world phenomenal – and price is actually quite on point.
Would absolutely come back again!
Chagall, a new-ish Kosher French restaurant in Park Slope, isn't your typical French eatery or steakhouse. Chagall is as much about the experience as it is about the food. The couple who run this establishment have put an immense amount of effort to ensure you enjoy your food and have a pleasant time. Its ambiance — low light, slow music, candles on every table, and a mirrored-back bar, set an intimately unassuming tone. The decor is semi-rustic and romantic, but in a very benign way. The table staff were amiable, and their table manner was excellent. They were well versed in the menu, and explained it as if reciting the ABC's.
On my first visit, on a date my now wife, we each got the crispy sweetbread salad, which was delicious. The balsamic-ginger dressing and pine nuts transcended the taste — enough to make me want to recreate it at home. As I exited, the owner's wife asked me how everything was — similar to the way a mother would ask her son how a job interview went.
I found her question comforting. I like the idea of someone caring about how a meal went after you pay. It made me know that she not only cares how the meal went, but that she wants me to return, and values feedback. Apparently the owner and his wife switch off in overseeing the restaurant.
A month later, thinking about a possible place to propose to my wife, Chagall came to mind. My idea to propose in this restaurant seemed to flatter the owner, who put me in touch with his wife. She expressed the same enthusiasm, and told me she'd do anything she can to make it work.
We eventually settled on a flower arrangement centerpiece, extra candles for the table, and a bouquet and champagne for the actual proposal. I also requested that she inform my waiter that my asking for a dessert menu cued the time to bring out the flower bouquet and champagne. In other words, dessert menu meant it was time to propose!
Because I wanted the table set up when I got there, I was put in touch with the head chef, who let me in before the restaurant opened. I asked for the table by the window because I wanted to experience the charm of Park Slope too. He promised that the table would be set up with the candles and flowers by the time I arrived. He was true to his word.
When I arrived, the table was beautifully set up with candles and the flower centerpiece. We ordered the grilled prime rib ($43), which came with French fries, greens, and peppercorn sauce (tasted barbecue-y). I wish the sauce was served warm/hot so it doesn't cool the steak down. Still, the juicy steak bursted with flavor, and the fat enhanced the taste.
When it came time to order desert, the waiter brought out the bouquet, a bottle of champagne, and coffee-chocolate cake (which was on the house). Right on cue! The owner was nice enoigh to take pictures and send them. Oh, and I almost forgot, as you might of guessed, the wife said yes!
