What Rachel’s World likes about Aoc East:
Celebrated my birthday at AOC last night and had a great time! The bartender brought over complimentary shots for us. The food and ambiance was great. It's one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. Thanks AOC! View all feedback. What Matt I doesn't like about Aoc East:
This enchanting, unusual and intimate classic French bistro has a lively atmosphere with live music and a rustic urban neighborhood feel. The food is exceptional. More budget-friendly wine options would be appreciated. The service was good, though relaxed at a European pace, so be prepared to spend some time there. View all feedback.

The classic French bistro offers an enchanting atmosphere with live music and exceptional food. Some reviewers noted the relaxed service pace and lack of budget-friendly wine options. Outdoor seating provided a sunburn for one, while another encountered a costly and lengthy dining experience. However, many praised the delicious dishes, strong drinks, and extensive wine list. The cozy decor and French-inspired menu garnered positive feedback, along with complimentary birthday shots. With creamy risotto, flavorful tartare, and tender veal, AOC is celebrated as a great French spot with a pleasant vibe, despite some service issues.

Excellent meal with great service. My only complaint is that it’s much too noisy. Very hard to have a conversation.
