Stop by a drink and an onion soup. Both great! Elijah at the bar made the experience cool!
Great bartender. Pornstar martinis. Great vibe inside
A cozy and intimate space with warm lighting and vintage decor. The service and staff go beyond and above for you to spend a lovely time. Unfortunately the food is not up to the standards of the place. The steak was hard to cut and chew. The frites where plain and a little bit saggy. Even the filet mignon was hard.
Make sure to have a reservation. Another option is the bar, first come first serve.
We went there for drinks and it was a lot of fun.
Fun place is literally in an alley across from dumpsters in the hip Union Market neighborhood. I can't tell if it's purposefully ironic, or they got a sweet lease deal.
As soon as you enter the doors, you enter another world of an old-school NY restaurant that's made to look 100 years old. Tight spaces, lots of people-looking fun to be had.
I wouldn't call it a French restaurant--it's more like an old-school French-influenced NY seafood, steak and pasta place, as imagined by Americans. You know up-front it's going to be a pricey evening--everything is expensive. You're definitely coming here for the experience when you have some cash to burn.
Service staff was warm and friendly, without being too familiar.
We had excellent butter lettuce salads, two delicious wines by the glass, butter-poached halibut and an excellent branzino filet, along with a few bottles of Aqua Panna. Dessert was a Grand Marnier souffle and vanilla gelato. Excellent bread service.
Excluding tip, this was over $200.
Be aware that tables are tight, and this place is loud--it's part of the ambiance. The back room is slightly less noisy and a bit more enjoyable.
The moment you walk through the front door you know you are in for an experience. The atmosphere was sophisticated and full of history. The service was truly outstanding start to finish. The cocktails and wine were superb and the food was excellent!
