If you need a quick trip to northern France, this is your place for the cost of the subway or a taxi ride. Great food, comfy room, and wonderful service.

A taste of "France" in Uptown Manhattan. The seafood sausage with saffron sauce was outstanding. The restaurant was quite full, but service kept up with everything. Very pleased.
