Very quiet lunchtime that day. Bread was stale and soggy - very unusual and surprising. It’s usually very good. Waiter was fine - seemed distracted. Prices have gone up - a lot. Over $30 for a Niçoise salad - for lunch? Still they have nice room and working AC.

As usual food was good but our steaks were not MEDIUM as we ordered but WELL DONE. Waiter was pushy and edgy. Some waiters are better than some whenever we dine there. We like it there but find the service can be very mixed. Oh well. Blame it all on Covid

We've eaten here before & enjoyed it but not as much this evening. A burger ordered well done was at best medium. The gazpacho was nicely chilled with just the right garlic note. Oysters were small & oddly tasteless. Still, the service is impeccable, the wine list nicely varied and the desserts elegantly done.

Dinner was delicious - simply delicious - but the waitress was very oddly hostile. As soon as we sat down we asked for french fries and while she took the order, she advised us that was not how ordering goes. Service went downhill from there but the other servers stepped in cheerfully to take our meal order, bring us more drinks and dessert.

This restaurant felt old and worn out. The service was great -- attentive and kind. However, the ratio between the price of the food and my enjoyment of it was very low. The menu seems outdated for contemporary tastes. I was disappointed and embarrassed that I had booked here thinking it would be a nice place for out-of-town visitors after a visit to the MET. Not so.

Great New York upper east side French bistro. Excellent food. I had the roasted chicken which was divine as was the watermelon salad, the tomato and burrata salad and the desserts. It’s not cheap but it is good value. Whether a business lunch or casual dinner—the 5 star food and service makes it very versatile and a top pick.. I’ll be back…

Local restaurant with French charm which we love. It was early evening so we had the restaurant to ourselves. Our waitress was warm and friendly. We had our usually hamburger with blue cheese and apple, Worth the trip. Reservations are essential after. 6 PM.

The soft shells crabs in a lemon caper sauce were exquisite although the $9 serving of run of the mill, lukewarm pommes frites was sadly disappointing. But the salmon was expertly prepared so an overall enjoyable outdoor dining experience.

Dusty vibed French Brasserie serving fair to okay food with little to no invention or flair. Good outside seating area expands interior seating, though inside might have charm. The staff was quick and responsive but the food was only okay. Probably reasonable price for the neighborhood but not for the quality. The fresh tuna on my Salad Nicoise was tough and lacking in flavor - huge slabs. Less but fresher fish would have been far better. Husband had Mussel and Fries, a menu mainstay that seemed much better. Would not go again. Chose as a place within walking distance of The Met, wish I'd returned to my Brooklyn hood where the spots are plentiful and the food far tastier.

A little bit of Paris on the Upper East Side. Pleasant outdoor seating and good people watching. We come for the escargot, which we think is the best in the city -- bubbly hot and perfectly seasoned. The onion soup is rich and delicious. There is a wide variety of food on the menu. Good for lunch or dinner.
