    Very crowded and very noisey. Food was good. It’s a French restaurant and it was a Bastille Day celebration

    Lovely ambiance with enough space between tables which can be hard to find in NYC. Great lunch options and attentive service. We’ll be returning!

    Most of the food was very good, especially the Choucroute on the Bastille Day didWeekend special menu. The Sole Meuniere was very disappointing, not at all what we expected. This was far from the standard way of preparing this special dish, and was not very interesting at all. What did the chef have in mind? It was all wrong. Everything else was good and the service was fine.

    We thoroughly enjoyed an early dinner with the apero!  The cocktails were well balanced, and the food was delicious, especially the tuna tartare! Will certainly be returning. Our waiter Andre was wonderful.

    Have been coming here for years. Great Salade Niçoise, perhaps the best I’ve had stateside. Other dishes up to this standard as well. Ambience is reminiscent of a French bistro.
