    We had been told to visit this restaurant by family in the neighborhood and had missed the opportunity. Happily we made our way there early on a Friday night. After having been in NYC for a week and eating out every day at excellent restaurants, we both agreed that this was our favorite meal of the week. We both started with a signature cocktail, the Pink Sky, which is African tequila, aperitivo, rosé-chili syrup, citrus, soda. We shared the coq au vin wings, which were exceptional. I wish I had ordered my own fill serving they are that good. We then followed this with the roast chicken, perfectly cooled with a good quantity of sautéed mushrooms and creamy mashed potatoes. It is a very good sized portion, of which I could only eat half. We accompanied this with wines by the glass. There is a nice selection. For dessert we had creme brulee, which is ubiquitous in general but extraordinary here. We also received an ice cream dish on the house. Charlie, the head sommelier, and other staff are so helpful, knowledgeable and good spirited. Service is impeccable. It was really a perfect meal and we left very happy.
