    Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food—went with French comfort food on a bitter cold night: cassoulet and salmon, both very good. Wait staff was wonderful and it was my birthday so they did what I wish all restaurants would do: give you a little celebration without drawing everyone's attention to you! Will definitely go back.

    Food was delicious but drinks, bread, appetizer and main course for the four of us were all served within a brisk 65 minutes. Seemed unnecessary, considering the open tables; and frankly not very French. We mentioned twice that we had a birthday at our table but while the next table -- also celebrating a birthday -- received a candle atop their dessert we received nothing. Good wine selection but overall sadly not a lot to set this rushed experience apart from many other choices in NYC.

    My first visit for dinner tonight with my friend. Food was super delicious...we had onion soup, escargos, duck meal, lava cake n raw oysters and wine and cocktails! Our server Michael (Mike) was amazing. The GM. Jonathan was outstanding definitely a great leader of men and women...he was checking on every table for the 3 hours we were there. He was serving customers. Pulling the slack with his team! I highly recommend this restaurant to friends, family, everyone.

    The general manager, Johnathan, was nice and kept checking on everyone. Our waitor Michael was attentive to all tables around us and us. We never felt neglected. This place is amazing! I'm definitely going back. The food and dessert were delicious. The blueberry drink I had loved it!

    Disappointing dining experience. While the food itself was decent, the service was severely lacking. Pros: Food quality was good. Cons: Seating: Despite requesting a quiet table away from the bar on OpenTable, we were seated directly next to it, making for a noisy and less-than-ideal dining environment.

    Dear Esther, Thank you for sharing your experience. We regret that your seating preference was not met according to your OpenTable reservation. You specifically requested a quiet table away from the bar for your 65th birthday celebration, and we apologize for seating you next to the bar, which negatively impacted your dining experience. We will review our reservation handling to ensure guest requests are honored in the future. We invite you to return to our restaurant so we can provide you with the exceptional dining experience we strive for. Best regards, Jonathan Torres General Manager

    An amazing surprise to find again in an unusual location. My surprise was swayed by the welcoming smile of the hostess , Izzy the bartender and staff were phenomenal!! We chose to dine at the bar with Izzy and it was a treat. We are going back tomorrow, 3 days later
