This restaurant is good in two fronts simultaneously: The bar and the dinning room. The bar serves some of the best cocktails in NYC. Their classic martini is crafted perfectly and you have a choice of rare, extraordinary gins not available in many bars anywhere else in Manhattan, The menu is straight french. Not fancy but always prepared to perfection.... More

as a non meat & non fish eater I wasn't too thrilled that a mandatory attendance business dinner was at a French steakhouse, & the on-line menu gave the impression I'd be lucky to get a salad that suited. however, the friendly English waiter said he'd met my type before, and discreetly confirmed the mushroom pasta could be made without...

Their menu is a little pricey, but it's New York. Average cost of an dinner with salad would be $35-$40. Some wines ran $16/glass. The atmosphere was dark and it was bit loud, as we sat near the bar. If you are a steak lover, give it a try! More

Poor service - I asked the waiter for a glass of wine; I asked again; I asked for the manager; I asked again. 40 minutes later, I had stale bread and no wine. The waiter had spasms of coughing, showering the food and drink of adjacent tables with virus-infected sputum. The manager did not care: informed me that it was... More

Took the family including grandkids for a late lunch on a Saturday - Great food- burgers were fabulous. Still enough variety for those trying to diet. Brunch (till 4 ) is $25 per person but the food was worth it. Convenient via subway to midtown . More

There is no doubt our ticket was lost in the bustle of a crowded lunch. Eventually, and I mean after a long time, the manager intervened and produced our meal which included a decent, if tiny, duck confit and a horrible filet. To his credit, the manager did not charge us for this debacle and for that we give them... More

This is a nice (and quiet) restaurant in the Union Square area. My Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked (medium-rare), like the French would do. The service was excellent (I waited a little bit too long for my latté, got it on the house), quick and prompt. There is no reason why you should not stop there to have a steak.... More

Back in its original location, the quality is back to the high level of the early days. New decor and staff, but most of the bistro dishes are back, plus new ones. We had lunch here, and it was delightful. Great salads, soups, sandwiches and mains. My Grilled Vegetable Panini was so large, I took half of it home. If... More
