An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

Great concept to mashup French and southern! The place was empty for lunch but that gave us a table at the window. Lovely space. Food selection was good. Salad for the Benedict was tasty but heavy on the dressing. The eggs Benedict was good but bacon was tough, not crispy. The price for food was reasonable. The service was pleasant enough. Ambiance was very fun and nice, kinda place you can have a quiet meal with a friend
