    As appetizer try their grilled octopus, is crispy and balanced. For main,the Duck To Ways is to die for, tender and juicy. As dessert,the Apple Tatin (the star was the cinnamon ice cream, perfect.)

    A spiral staircase separates this massive below-street-level space from Fifth Avenue. Duck in for the calm and stay for classic French salads, soups, eggs, and a flute of something sparkling. Read more

    Get the soufflé. I'm not kidding. Don't even get anything else. Just the soufflé. Also the lamb/duck is very good, the scallops are excellent.

    Enjoy the glamour of the past while feasting on a scrumptious and varied menu, including a beautiful duck breast in the prix fixe.

    Great place - the bouillabaisse was as good as in France. Meat was well cooked and tender. Try the macaron as desert!

    A classic French bistro, this is a great place for an upscale and classy meal - and a cocktail or glass of champagne.

    The filet mignon is superb on the restaurant week menu. The appetizers are good too.

    The fried chicken Cobb is beautifully presented and delicious enough to obsess about

    The structure is very good. That is a beautitiful entrance, but the food is very simple. Is not too much people and finished croissant, the seweets plates are very simples and don't have cold chocolat

    The dynamic duo, John & Julie, will make sure to keep your glass filled at all times. Great lounge, great times.

    The wild Scottish salmon and polenta was enough to fill me up. Salmon wasn't dry and the polenta was a big bowl

    Don't get the macaron dessert. It was hard and crunchy, had to be at least a day old

    The service here last night was embarrassingly bad. I understand he was a new waiter, but even still, there was no excuse for his severe lack of training. I've gotten more helpful service at Wendy's.

    Brunch selection leaves much to be desired, but the quality of what they DO have is deceptively decent.
