The Scene – Warm yellows, dark woods and brassy fixtures make for a cozy, neighborhood vibe, though not decidedly French. Enviously thick slabs of gold-and-black-flecked granite top a long walk-around bar, perpetually stacked by smartly dressed men and women. The dining area, nicely divided by pillars and half walls, creates privacy while keeping things open enough. When warm, nifty folding doors swing out to the street. – – The Food – Chef Roland Liccioni (Le Francais, Les Nomades) turns out French, but his dishes are perhaps more refined than brasserie food and…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:

Best Food and Atmosphere with perfect price
by said dini at Citysearch
The menu is simple and to the point. Les Hors D'oeuvres are great..I had the Chilled Asparagus,king crab, toasted black sesame seed, truffle oil and it tasted excellent. The presentation of the salad is superior. The Duo Of Roasted Lamb Rack And Ribeye is great. Overall, the price , atmosphere, service, and the food are all remarkable.
- Pros: Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops cauliflower, golden raisin, caper

Great food, duck my favorite, can't pass up the souflle
by javid at Citysearch
Very Pleasent atmosphere, divided dinning rooms provide the privacy if that is what you want, Service staff pleasent and accomodating. Food presentation only matches the quality of what is being servred.
You can't afford not to stumble into a beautifull bar as you are coming in; and as you are leaving the resaurant an additional glass of brandy especially the nights when the music at the piano bar is entertaining the quests would provide for a memorable eveninig
- Pros: I still pick the duck. And appetizers a must.
- Cons: Delicious food late at night at the bar is seductive
