   The restaurants ambience was nice…it is a large, open venue with a lot of energy and activity. Please be aware…if you are using valet to park your car, the system in place is less than optimal. The valet works with three separate restaurants and you supposedly have to text the valet to have your car brought around. No one told us this and it was impossible to find an attendant. The restaurant was NOT HELPFUL in this process and communication and service needs to be improved upon. We waited at least 30 minutes to get our car and unfortunately that reflected on our experience at the restaurant.

   Our server Matthew was exceptional and recommended both our delicious white and red wine choices. A lovely evening with good friends, we love this classic French menu!

   We waited over 20 minutes to see a server but were given water. Poor busing of the table and the overall service was mediocre. It wasn’t until we ordered an expensive bottle of wine that we seemed to be “noticed”

   No one reads reservation notes. Why bother with requests? Booked a table, and asked in the notes for a quiet table and fewer interruptions. I mentioned again the need for privacy when I arrived. The hostess added seats to the table to ensure no one sat close to us. Then the service team proceeded to have no less than three people attend to us in 5-10 minute increments. I really thought that by leaving it in the notes that we really didn't want to be interrupted AND conveying that message to the hostess that we would be seeing servers less but instead got more folks coming around.

   Hello Kimberly, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry that your request for a quiet and private dining experience was not honored despite noting it in your reservation and reiterating it upon arrival. We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel overlooked in this way, especially after making your preferences clear. Please know that we take requests like yours seriously, and it’s clear we fell short in communicating your needs to our team. With the intention of creating a better experience for our guests, please kindly contact us at guestrecovery@thegroup.nyc with your contact information as well as your review as a reference, and we will reach out to you. We look forward to speaking to you soon. Sincerely, Emma Guest Relations Team

   Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere, and food was good but not spectacular. This might entirely be my fault and my taste, however. Ordered the filet mignon and did not anticipate the peppercorn crust to be so overwhelming. However, the meat was cooked perfectly - rare just like ordered! Also, don’t expect this experience to be a quick in-and-out. Unless you tell the waiter otherwise, plan on the experience taking at least 2.5 hours especially if you order appetizers.

   The food and service continue to amaze me. This is my 3rd time back and it keeps getting better. The cocktails, Long Meadow Ranch Cab are a must! Went back to old faithful in the perfect prepared scallops!

   Ate lunch here recently, had a great experience. Had the steak frites, one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Service was great, staff knowledgeable about the menu, made a great drink recommendation. The setting is beautiful in River North. Highly recommend and this summer will be excellent here with the windows open!

   Very good French fare: Caesar salad, fresh oysters on the half-shell, pasta, steak frites (with a side salad). Creative cocktails -Sazerac, wines by the glass (Russian River Pinot Noir). Professional & friendly service in a belle epoque atmosphere.
