    What a wonderful dining experience! We arrived slightly early for our 7pm reservation, and waited no time at all to be led to our table, tucked away in the corner of the main dining room. The space was bustling and energetic. Our servers were exceptionally attentive, and our meal was well-paced. We ordered the Wagyu Carpaccio as a starter. I'd travel to New York City again and again for that perfect melt-in-your mouth dish. I'll think about the horseradish sauce for months to come. My husband got the branzino, which was light and healthy, though he thought it could use an addition of a sauce or salsa to brighten it up. I had the Boeuf Borgugnon that was out-of-this world delicious—fork tender on a bed of roasted vegetables and creamy potato puree, with a sauce that had complex depth of flavor. We were celebrating birthdays, and when our server brought Basque cheesecake for dessert, it was topped with a candle and a chocolate candy happy birthday message. Looking forward to another visit soon!

    I love this restaurant. Just had another wonderful meal here. Very reasonable prices for high quality delicious food—every time. I’ve never had a bad meal here. The scallops I had last night were the best I’ve ever eaten. Service and meal presentation are spot on. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to this fav restaurant.

    This was a treat for Valentine’s Day ( we fly home on Valentine’s Day ) I prefer a big meal at lunchtime and this place did not disappoint, the service from the front door to everyone that brought our food / drinks and cleared up was excellent. The food and ambience were fabulous and add the great service and it makes it one of the most enjoyable meals of my life We started with the butter service garni ( I had read about it ) and a couple of cocktails, the drinks were lovely and the butter service was all and more than I expected. We had the steak frites and a spiced chicken Caesar salad but here’s also fantastic with a glass of the house Cabernet Sauvignon for he with my steak and a Provence rose for my wife very tasty I enquired about the opera cake ( it’s only fir dinner service ) but we turned our frowns upside down when the salted caramel gateau arrived and was a beautiful show at the table and was sublime along with a couple of lattes we had the most wonderful dining experience and by New York standards it was a bargain at $250 plus tip Honestly treat yourself to a great meal and experience and eat here
