"It's by far the best French Cafe style restaurant in Midtown Manhattan."
"The restaurant decor and ambience was lovely."
"The atmosphere is phenomenal."
"The dining room makes you feel like you're in Paris, as do all of the special little touches."
"The ambience was reminiscent of Paris and they paid a lot of attention to the small details."
"The atmosphere reminded me of a classic french bistro."
Cons:
"The music selections, all kinds of jazz, were intrusive rather than complimentary."
"One minor gripe is they asked to clear our plates three times when we clearly weren’t finished."
"What have they done to the ambiance???? No flowers, no photos of Paris."
"Expect the usual midtown restaurant deafening din.... too bad because is a pretty dinning room."
"Good French bistro food, but the ambience is horrible because it is extremely loud."
"The atmosphere was quiet."
"Toilets are frankly disgusting. Went into one cublice covered in urine seat and floor :/"
Service

"Service was a bit spotty and takes some effort to be served."
"Rude and unprofessional. Was told dining area was close but clearly there ppl seated there."
"The service was a bit slow despite not much guests at the bar."
"Come here 3x year and had horrible service for an annual bday. Never acknowledged the birthday and server was over 1x, but over multiple times at the table next over."
"The waiter was extremely discourteous, and simply never came back to check anything or ask if I wanted another glass of wine."
Food Quality
Pros:
"If you like earthy meaty dishes try their Cassoulet."
"The small profiteroles had a cream filling which was not over sweetened but was just sweet enough to satisfy one's sweet tooth."
"Delicious French cuisine with a large wine list and sommelier."
"The asparagus risotto was delicious."
"The food is nothing but perfect."
"The cassoulet was out of this world, so so delicious."
"The food was perfect from appetizer to dessert."
Cons:
"The eggs benedict was served on burnt toast with prosciutto what a HUGE disappointment."
"But what a let down."
"The steak was dry and didn't look appetizing at all."
"The amberjack was basically a bland fish over corn cooked with tomatoes."
"The tasting menu was... tasteless with tiny pieces of fish and meat (duck)."
"The duck was expensive and about 1/6 of a duck breast badly over cooked."
"The profiteroles were slightly disappointing as the ice cream was separate from the pastry."
Value
Pros:
"Prices were reasonable for the type of restaurant and location."
"Well worth the price of the food."
"Food, decor, and service are all very good and good value for the price of the food."
"The price is fairly affordable."
"Sidebar given my experience with NY French eateries they were also reasonably priced."
"Price was a little high, but not crazy."
"Wine pricey. Meal not so bad."
Cons:
"Good service and wine by the glass. Cobb salad bland, and at $22 I expect more than lettuce, chicken and avocado in a bowl."
"Premium pricing and below average food."
"But it does come at a cost financially."
"So-so at this price point. Not in the same class as Benoit in Paris; lapses in service & preparation."
"For the overall cost of this experience... we won't be rushing back to try more items on the menu."
"Been in USA for 4 weeks and this was by far the worst meal we have had."
"Worst meal I’ve had in a restaurant, especially considering the price."
