French Restaurant · Midtown East · 148 tips and reviews
The Corcoran Group: Charming and quaint French bistro where you must try their Cobb Salad, topped with gorgonzola and cherry tomatoes or a bowl of their warmingly delicious Soupe A L’oignon.
Natalie Romano: Lunch is fantastic. The pre fixe menu is hard to beat. I went back three times over my week vacation in NYC because this place is THAT GOOD. Order a glass (or three) of rosé with your lunch.

Andrew Smallwood: Great for breakfast with a twist
Hailey Heewoo Kim: Cute atmosphere, awesome food! The calamari was amazing(!!) and absolutely loved(!!!) the squid ink rigatoni with crab - it had the perfect hint of spice! Looking forward to another visit!

BrooklynBoyO: Paella, tapas and dessert all on point. A gem in Midtown East.

Rock Raines: Charming, old-school vibe. Food is prepared lovingly but don’t expect any sort of elegance in the service. Thought entrees were a bit overpriced

Greek Restaurant · Rockefeller Center · 19 tips and reviews
Eater: Long Island Greek fish restaurant Limani recently opened its second location. The name means seaport in Greek and appropriately offers a fish focused menu including whole fish baked in salt. Read more.
John E: Food is fantastic, particularly the chicken kebab, which keeps me coming back. Outdoor dining pop-up area during the summer is a rare find in this area. But service is consistently disappointing.
Özge Özsoy: Very lazy guys! If you want to wait more than 30 minutes you can eat!
