"A lovely little French brasserie that's been here for decades. The food, wines, and service have always been and still are exceptional. This place has been one of my favorites for years. It's cuisine is consistently excellent and it's one of the few places I know to find fois grois, one of my favorites. I just love this place!"

"This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in NYC. The food was amazing; some of the best I've had. The atmosphere is not only warm and inviting and intimate, but it resembled that of an actual Parisian restaurant, and the prices were very fair. And the servers and the bar tender were the absolute best; our waiter, Alberto, was one of the kindest and purest person I have ever met. Definitely one of the main highlights of the trip to NYC!"

"Such a great French Bistro. We had the beet appetizer and French onion soup, delicious. Then we moved on to the duck, the chicken and the steak with Roquefort sauce. All of us were thrilled! Staff very attentive and friendly."

"Excellent casual French dining. Pate was amazing as was the schnitzel and the monk fish and shrimp platter. They offer a three course dinner option - recommend that, as well!"
