Everything was absolutely delicious! A bit pricier than I normally choose but worth the splurge, especially for a special occasion. We started with the Homemade Crab Cake with Herb Mayo & Cucumber Salad appetizer (we were hungry so forgot to take a pic). Then I had the Pan-Seared Salmon with a Honey Mustard Crust & Couscous which is melt in your mouth good. My dining partner are every bite of their Seafood Crepes in a Mushroom Sauce & Couscous. We closed with coffee and two desserts: Crème Brûlée (oooh-so-creme-y!) and Profiteroles which were so good I had a spoon in each hand! Would absolutely go again, and already looking for the occasion to do it!

After a visit to the Apple Store on the Upper West Side, we sauntered over and ate outdoors here. Nice setup and terrific food. We had the chicken scallopini and crab cake salad. Loved them both. The staff was very careful and wore masks throughout. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Nice cozy restaurant. We liked their duck confit salad, their roasted duck entree, and their onion soup.

Excellent French dishes!! What a wonderful place to have a meal! Around the corner from the 1 train or the C and B trains. The delicious dishes were prepared wonderfully. Service was attentive. Great place to take for a date or just catch up with friends. You can take reservations inside but outdoors is first come first serve! I recommend this place if you are in the Lincoln center area.

Very nice French restaurant not far from the Park. The escargot, while rich, was excellent, as was the French onion soup. I had the roasted chicken and yukon potatoes since I've been here before and remembered how good it was. Will be back again :)

Fabulous dinner in a sweet setting. There are few restaurants left with this rustic, old world charm.We so appreciated the service, our two delicious meals (lamb and branzino--oh so good), great cocktails and a really scrumptuous desert. Tables are tight but it really felt like a quaint French bistro. Loved it.

Great place to go if you want to remind yourself how much middle school French you didn't retain. Food was delicious though, made me feel better about forgetting all my French. I highly recommend the escargot, because 1) I can at least FEEL French while eating it, and 2) dipping the complimentary bread in the escargot garlic butter is *bisou du chef 👨‍🍳💋*

Just magnificent start to finish. Friendly, professional staff, cozy but comfortable atmosphere which would mean nothing without great food which thankfully they prepare beautifully. Best mussels I have EVER eaten (seriously if you love a steaming bowl of mussels these folks do it expertly) friends had a glorious branzino (buttery, lemony cooked to perfection) and chicken scallopini (ultimate comfort food, delicious). And of course fabulous profiteroles and cappuccino to finish. Treat yourself you won't be sorry.
