My friend and I had an absolutely beautiful night on a Christmas night. Great service, delicious food with chic cozy atmosphere. We sat by the corner window and felt a cold draft throughout the dinner, so I recommend dressing up warm for dining in the winter season. Highly recommended.

The food was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.

This is the best French restaurant on LI. We go the regularly and they never miss a beat. Although everything is good don’t miss the onion soup, escargot or the duck.
