Lovely rehab of the old space, attentive and sweet service, and the seafood tower, mushroom pot, squash soup and burger with fried egg/maple bacon, frites with blue cheese mayo will rock your world.
Amazing French pastries, breads and baked goods, great atmosphere and solid lunch/brunch options including this brisket burger w/ crispy fries. Prices aren't low but the experience lives up to them.
They seem to have changed the menu: nothing appears to be cooked on the premises any more. It might actually be an improvement since the burger was the only tolerable option before.
Underrated bar hidden in plane sight. It's on a weird strip between NYU and East Village but worth dropping in if you're in the area. Top notch beer selection and good vibes. Seats in the back too.
