The Corcoran Group: A great place for a lazy Sunday brunch – go for the Omelette d’Alsace or the Frittata Provencal, or maybe the Apple Pancake or the Tarte Flambee – everything is delicious.
Gabriel Wakim: Eggs bénédict, steak frites, tarte flambée, burger, you can't go wrong with these. They are all good
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Nice ambiance, great beer list, solid steak tartar, good tarte flambee. Duck is good, desserts are tasty. Good date place or dinner place.

PureWow: All the decadence of perfectly executed French pastries (like lemon-meringue tarts, profiteroles and chocolate-chip brioche), none of the gluten. Read more.

Allan Benamer: Plum tart -- definitely try it
Halstead Property: If you’re looking for a place to sit down and enjoy just a cup of coffee and dessert, come here. The Salted-Almond Tart will satisfy your craving for a salty/sweet treat.
Rowenna Cuff: Lovely ambience. The coffee was good- more like a light Italian roast. We had a Napoleon and a custard and fruit tart, both of which were really pretty to look at and tasted amazing!

Ben Waters: Sit at the bar, and order the pappardelle and seasonal dessert tart. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails (especially the tangerine cello). The roast chicken is a staple and always delicious.
Roger Schonfeld: They did something wonderful with the cauliflower that was part of the antipasti last night. Pastas were worth traveling for. Bread pudding and diff tart worth an airplane ride.
Village Voice: The lovely intimate atmosphere (they work with a 10 person dining area) make it advisable to call ahead for a reservation. Worth every minute!

Lauren Cantor: Mahi mahi was amazing. Same with steak frites. Profiteroles and tarte tatin!
Isabel: The mussels are perfect at this lovely neighborhood restaurant ! The staff is very sweet and helpful especially with recommending wines.
Jason Schulweis: Small, cute, neighborhood-y feeling spot on UES. Not overly French with the cuisine but enough of the bistro vibe. Loved the salmon, tuna and off-menu Cajun chicken. Crab salad is a great starter.
william veronda: Small, cozy place with great decor. Lunch is an great bargain at $19 for 3 courses. Fleet mignonette of 5 ounces, soup or salad, good rolls and dessert. Try the blueberry tart with Irish oatmeal.
The Corcoran Group: Enjoy the charming English atmosphere and delightful service when dining on the duck breast, rack of lamb, foie gras flan and stilton cheese.
JH Madison Lee: Very cute place! The upstairs area is perfect for private events like bridal showers :)

Corinne Pulitzer: Try the Tarte Tartin! Delish❤️
Oguzhan Kuscuoglu: Everything on the menu we tasted was delicious. A wide selection of wines.
Nancy: Consistently excellent quality & service at this lovely Michelin star restaurant. While expensive, worth it for a fine French meal of the braised ribs, filet or a salad, paired w/the perfect wine.
