I made this reservation based on the outstanding reviews, and because of those reviews, my experience was disappointing. The outside parklet seating area was enclosed, it looked inviting so we started there, unfortunately, there was a strong odor so we moved from that spot to inside the restaurant and the seating was cramped and uncomfortable. The food, drinks and service were good, but did not match the effusive reviews that I had read. Our favorite was the flatbread and the kale and fennel salad that the server recommended.

Fabulous dinner and drinks on the lovely sidewalk cafe! Excellent service, too. Highly recommend the French 85 and Oui Mademoiselle cocktails. The truffle gnocchi is outstanding! The lava cake, bread pudding and crème brûlée each received rave reviews. Highly recommend!

There was a beautiful cafe vibe - where we could sit with cold San Pellegrino and limes on a hot summer day. The fennel and kale salad had a light dressing and was topped with tart green apples. The steak frite was cooked to perfection and the rosemary chicken sandwich is still a topic of conversation.

Very much the French bistro. Frites were delicious - moules savory but only 7 moules. Drinks creative and service great even though only one at the kitchen then later 2 waiters . The flatbread looked great. M-F lunches have lower prices French onion soup and croque . It is romantic with French music and ambience, outdoor and patio seating . Almost as if one were in Paris.

It’s great neighborhood spot. Each time I visit to New York I dine in here. The team is amazing, they welcome you back each time. Patio is dog friendly and there is live music on some nights.

Well located, away from the crowds, felt more like a neighborhood place. Excellent service and ambience. Dishes are in line with what one would expect in a French bistro, we had the Kale salad and tartar steak to start,then shared a braised meat with pasta as main course, everything was delicious and generous portions.
