Designed by partner Jean Denoyer, Orsay strikes that difficult balance of sophisticated-chic in a warm convivial atmosphere. Dark mahogany raised paneled walls meet Art Nouveau styled arches in a deep, creamy butter color. The floor is a work of art, Italian mosaic tiles in warm tones of precious metals hand laid in a beautiful fan pattern that floats in waves across the expanse of floor. Banquettes with high wood backs topped with frosted glass panels provide privacy if wanted, and the low, soft lighting emanates from Art Nouveau period chandeliers that Denoyer had custom designed. A 20-foot long zinc-topped wood bar shipped in one piece from France, and French doors that spill onto the sidewalk terrace. This elegant Parisian-style brasserie marries modern French cuisine and classic brasserie fare.

Starting August 16th we will kindly ask our guests to help us follow Metropolitan regulations regarding
COVID -19, proof of vaccination is required for all guests upon entry.

Dover sole was outstanding! Glass of Provence rose was perfect. Burger was slightly overcooked but a treat. Tart tartan with vanilla ice cream and a glass of calvados was a lovely ending. Great ambiance, food and extraordinary service.

Service and decor were fabulous. Food was average but not real French. Prime rib was daily special and was presented and cut table side. Impressive presentation but meat was supposed to be medium rare but was rare to very rare and I had first cut from an end. Sent back for more fire and came back with very little taste. Somewhat disappointing but was partially forgiven by superb Mousse ala Chocolate. Want to return to try Dover Sole which is a Friday special.
