David R.David Rosenberg: The lamb carpaccio, the terrine and the mushroom millefeuille (sup Pete Wells best NYC dishes of '14!) to start. And then the duck because obviously. Finish it with beignets.

Tian X.Tian Xie: A lot has been said for the duck à l'orange (which was excellent), but the mushroom mille feuille is also an excellent appetizer.

Samantha 💃 L.Samantha 💃 Lopez: The grilled oysters and beignets were fantastic. Everything else in between was medium and over salted.
