Le B. opens Its doors in the heart of the West Village.
It's a downtown restaurant where the atmosphere is laid-back, the lighting is low, and formalities like jackets are left at the door.

The name Le B. pays homage to The Beatrice Inn, a legendary establishment that would have celebrated its 100th birthday this year. Angie Mar describes Le B. as "fun, witty, and a little more grown-up."
It's a place designed for the loyal patrons of The Beatrice Inn, as well as her friends and neighbors, capturing the essence of the West Village in every bite. Le B. is not just about food; it's an immersive experience. The restaurant's design elements blend different eras, featuring an eye-catching crystal chandelier from the 1980s, pendant lights from the Waldorf Astoria circa 1931, and custom antique mirrors that add to the timeless ambiance.
Mikasa glassware returns triumphantly, adding texture and character to the serveware. The servers' uniforms, designed by Christian Siriano, exude sophistication, while bespoke woodwork, florals by Raul Avila, and other thoughtful touches complete the immersive dining experience.
