TingTing: Don't miss the Ponty burger and Ponty martini with the edible flower. The pancakes were also delicious, thin with just the right amount of crispiness around the edge.

Terance T.Terance Thatch: The service was slighty slow but Lobster BLT, Maple Crusted French Toast, Truffle Macaroni & Cheese and Fresh Seasonal Fruit coupled with the ambiance made up for it. I'll definitely be back.

Dei W.Dei West: Linguine Alla Scampi is really good! I just wish they gave a little more shrimp.

Vianney B.Vianney Brandicourt: Great for dinner in the summer. Sit outside (side-by-side, Parisian style) for people watching. Gambas al' ajillo are very tasty. If starving, the Mac'N'Cheese will hold you over until the entrees.

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: The Francophiles say it isn't French, then again, they say that about everything. A casual spot which is a perfect "hide & seek" from the madness of Shrine next door. Great for drinks and lite bites.
