"The bar menu is great at this place, and the French wine by the glass stupendous, I wish other restaurants would follow suit. There is live jazz on some nights, with a lively bar scene, with quiet tables for romantic dinners near the back of the restaurant. My favorite thing is the wonderful appetizers you can combine in your own way."

"The restaruant looks very nice - French bistro in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The service was quite nice too - good waiter and very patient sommelier. The food, however, was a disappointment. Our large party (13 people) had a mix of items - most that had fish dishes said it was not bad but those that had steak were all pretty much disappointed including myself - the meat was, quite frankly, a bit funky. Additionally, we pretty much all had cocktails before wine with dinner. The bartender could use some additional training as most of the mixed drinks were either too strong or missing ingredients. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be in any hurry to try this spot again."
