Gabriel Hayes: The tapas plate is perfect with dinner. Share 5 dishes with the table (they size accordingly). The best tapas are the Gallego Octopus, the Gratinated Mussels and the Empanadas Bourguignon.
Evan Grant: Cheese and herb omelette: vraiment bien! Good armosphere and service. Cool French music.
D&A Travel: Anders: Cozy and friendly French, opened in December 2013, already with a loyal following. Pate and meat-stew are home-made and delicious, there's a good cheese selection and all wines come by the glass.

Tainah M.: A small bakery café with a certain European charm. Friendly service, delicious French toast prepared with an almond brioche. Wish I had space left in my belly to try the beautiful pastries.
Anuj Mathur: The Croque Madame leads with the excellent homemade brioche. It's relatively light and comes with mixed greens.
Christophe Lamperti: +1 for the real French pastries. And the croque-madame.

Jannica Robertson: Great food. Try the rabbit leg or the artichoke gratin. But, limited cocktails - just wine and select beer, gin and rum. No vodka. :(
Kevin Shiiba: You literally can't go wrong with anything here. The special trout with Serrano Ham, octopus carpaccio, and bread pudding were phenomenal. This place is amazing.
Mitchell R: The steak special is great

Jessica M.: Incredible brunch - fried egg sandwich, egg scramble, and spicy fries were all perfection. Make a res and bypass the crowds.
The Corcoran Group: Leave your name for a table and take a stroll on the Highline as you wait to be called. Great ambiance, good service and fresh ingredients combine for an excellent brunch or lunch spot.
Kayvon Mesbah: Honestly, I have to steal the words of Immaculate Infatuation, "[it's] so good that you'll want to take your leftovers home and bury them in a time capsule." Best brunch in a long time!
