    They rushed us through dinner, the food was ok and the service was awful. Very disappointing.

    Buzzing atmosphere, efficient service, good food and all within clean and classic French decor - could have been in a painting by Manet. Prix Fixe was excellent value and we'll prepared - had a whole mackerel without a bone in it

    We love the space and the staff, but my husband’s escargots were a disappointment— small and lacking in flavor.

    The staff rushes around and hustles the customers through their meals. Everyone is very nice, but the food is soso. Definitely a cut (or two) below the NYC model.

    Seems to have gone downhill food wise. Soggy croque monsieur with minimal ham. Little gem salad with minimal little gem. Great staff and service though.
