Had a wonderful work-team lunch. Our server Dorji was very attentive and made sure we were able to get out on time without missing a course. Really delicious and affordable lunch prix fixe, and the ambiance of the restaurant is like visiting a French salon in the middle of Midtown. Highly recommend for a break from the hustle of the city.

our waitress sang beautifully and delivered us delicious meals. it was very crowded, and we were rushed out. they did warn us (after we had reserved and only on the day of our reservation) that we had one hour to eat. a warning at the time of reservation would have been appreciated, because, with such a late advisement, we had to stand outside in the cold before our curtain.

This place is one of my favorites before a show. Consistently delicious and so well prepared. Staff are always attentive and helpful. I love everything about this place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a relaxed polished vibe that begs me to stay, relax, and have that extra glass of wine. Do not skip on dessert and coffee.

Exceptional wait staff, very obliging in assisting us in choosing a wine. Guests all loved their food. Spouse felt the salmon was the best ever. I had a gluten-free pasta dish and was disappointed. Would go back.
