Not a lot of decent bars in the area, and the bar here is small but otherwise fits the bill: bartender was professional, draft beers were perfectly cold on a hot muggy day. It's a French Bistro-type setting, which isn't my usual preference, but I'm def coming back next time I'm thirsty in this nabe.

Classic old bistro in Chelsea. French Moroccan flair to the menu.

Don’t go here if you want mediocre food masquerading as French food. Nothing authentically French about this place. The tomato fennel soup I had tasted like puréed tomatoes from can with added sugar; the skate, though nicely browned, was over salted, and the mashed potatoes tasted like it came from an instant mix. Then, they almost forgot about my dessert that came as part of the prix fixe. At least the sorbet was edible, if not somewhat tasty. I’d only return there for a drink and dessert, nothing more.

Burger was ok. Service was great and so was the atmosphere. I have had many fun nights here

I left a 10% tip and was then aggressively confronted and attacked by the manager at my table in front of everybody for not leaving more. Service was extremely unfriendly, unwelcoming, and disinterested. Food is average and is overpriced. Give it a miss unless you are prepared to leave a big tip for a below average experience.

My wife and I go here often. We get the artichoke and then the chicken tagine. The chicken tagine is truly amazing. Add a dirty martini and you have an amazing dinner.

The burger is not grass fed. Although the menu doesn’t say it is, the waitress assured me that it was. Let’s just say my gut does NOT respond well (for days) when I eat grain fed beef. Perhaps she confused the burger with the steaks, which apparently are grass fed. Either way, she caused me a couple of days of discomfort. Also, the bread they use in French onion soup is lame. Everything else was good.

I’m sad to post this review. I have been going here since 2003, when I was a medical resident at St Vincent’s. Management has changed and John is absolutely he worst for customer loyalty. This used to be a trusted, local place. Crazy story- my husband to be lived 2 blocks away from me on 13th st when I was a resident and we both went to this bar, unbeknownst of each other. Now we tried to come with our kids, after knowing Rosie and others for several years, and we were dismissed without a thought. Disrespect.

Great food & service! Stopped in a couple weeks ago for a turkey burger and it did not disappoint. Great tasting tea and food with a cozy atmosphere. Would absolutely love to come back if I am ever in the area again! Check came with a cute postcard as well to commemorate my visit!
Always a solid choice. The cauliflower tagine was amazing! The coq au vin was fantastic.

The atmosphere was the only thing this place had going for it. All I ordered was a medium steak and mashed potatoes. The steak came out almost mooing still. Asked very politely if they could throw it on a little longer brough to back and it was just as raw as before and I had already waited for about 15 mins with no communication with our server. This time when it was brought out it was almost medium rare but the outside of the steak was charcoal and hard. When I complained the server came over and said everything looked fine. At this point the steak was still underdone and looked like it had gone through a paper shredder. From this point in our server didn’t make eye contact with us she didn’t fill up or drinks or even stop over to let me know if my food was almost ready we charged full price after I had waited over 45 mins for the same exact meal my mom had ordered as me but had already finished at this point. Not to mention when we got there we informed our server we had a show we had to get to and ordered straight away. There was barley anyone there and it took almost 45 mins for us to get the initial steak and potatoes. Absolutely horrendous experience?! Our only saving grace was the girl from Columbus who treated us better and actually seemed to care even though she wasn’t our waitress. Not once during this whole experience did the manager even come out and speak with us!!!! Horrible!!!!

Intimate, small restaurant with friendly staff and delicious Moroccan inspired dishes.
