    This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. But it’s also perfect for a drink at the bar, special nights out and a last minute bite to eat. The seasoned staff makes us feel like family and we’ve never been dissatisfied with anything. We eat here once a week. Thank you all for taking such good care of us.

    The new omelet maker did a terrific job!! My omelet was truly delicious. The Bloody Mary's are still too spicy. You should offer a less spicy alternative.

    We used to regularly enjoy their location on Broadway as a pre-theater favorite. Once it closed, we lost contact but had occasion to visit the UES location last evening. Everything was as great as we remembered from the other locations. The food, service and just the "comfort" of Cognac was 5 star. We'll be back again soon!

    Nothing special. The host sat us at a very small table while the restaurant was 90% empty. The food was less than okay—not the correct meat temperature, very little salt and seasoning. Given the prices, it was a very bad deal. We spent close to $400z Service was mostly inattentive, we had to keep waving to get service. The waiter was friendly, though.

    My scallops tasted fishy so I had to return. Restaurant deducted from the bell which was the right thing to do. Everyone else’s dinner was delicious. Would highly recommend.
