    Far EXCEEDED expectations - cozy restaurant with an excellent menu - french bistro style. One of the few places in New York where you can get a made-to-order souffle. I went for a birthday lunch with friends, and all enjoyed it. While the restaurant was filled, it was not overly noisy - we could actually talk - will revisit.

    Great ambiance, delicious food. The sound level is perfect— even when the restaurant is full you can actually have a conversation without raising your voice or having to make an effort to tune out other diners.
