One of the best meals ever. We started with the foie gras and then the endive salad. Next was the deviled crab and the steak fries. Would order the same again. It’s a hard reservation to get but worth it.

The food was so good. I ordered the lamb chops and they were so delicious. It came with two sauces, but it was seasoned so well that the sauce wasn’t needed. I ended up just dipping my fries in the sauce because the sauce was so good as well. I also got the mac & cheese, which was perfect. You can tell the ingredients used are high-quality and prepared very well. This is my new favorite place to eat in Harlem
