I have been going there for years; consistently good food and staff is great. A real neighborhood gem
My dining companions enjoyed their meals more than I did. I ordered the hamburger with gruyere cheese and caramelized onions. Should have been delicious but wasn't. Even the French fries were blah. Service was good. Place is small and tables are jam-packed. We were meeting with a friend whom we haven't seen for a long time and it wasn't a conducive spot to catch up. But that's my fault for picking it.
Lovely little French restaurant. 3 blocks from Lincoln Center. Would absolutely go there again.
Lovely ambiance. Food was mediocre. I had the crepe fuit de mer, which was very good, as was the endive salad and soupe d ‘onion. But the salmon was overcooked and the pasta with shrimp had little flavor. Service was poor. Had the feeling that the staff was inadequate for the number of people being served.
The cocktails and food were delicious. Service was a bit questionable. We had to ask for everything, some things twice. To be fair, the place was packed indoors and out. Loved the branzino special and fish stew - such light tomato broth/sauce - really good.
I went there for brunch before theater and had the best mussels I've had in a really long time. Extremely fresh, plump, no grit whatsoever, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be going back!
Good food - standard French bistro fare. Sat outside - very pleasant and unrushed. Waiter was not particularly pleasant. He was not rude, but lacked any warmth or charm.
Excellent menu, very good for pre concert dinner. The place is very small and the tables are very close together. Otherwise excellent food and service
Wonderful delicious food ! Fabulous waitress ! Wonderful memories celebrating Maestro! We will be back soon ! JoDe Romano
We always like to stop in at this Lincoln Center neighborhood gem. If you like French food,as we do, you'll appreciate the traditional dishes, which are always delicious. The place was quiet on a Friday night before the theater, and we were able to get in and out in plenty of time for our show. But I'd recommend going there with others who like French food, and spending some time. The ambiance is cozy French cafe, and it's a comfortable place to spend some time.

Hadn't been here in awhile, last time they still had prix fixte menus for pre-theater/Lincoln Center dining! This is better. Very hot night, A/C fine, they offered a cold poached salmon special which was appreiciated I'm sure, but once I was settled, with water and a glass of chilled rose, decided on what I had plaaned Moules frites! Nice atmosphere. service, will return sooner this time!
This restaurant has been here for a long time. That speaks for itself. Authenitc French Cuisine. Its a very nice, romantic and lovely spot. Everything is just awesome. My Dad was the one who brought me here 15 years ago. Still a go to.
This is the most disgusting food I have ever eaten and a very unhappy server (and sad chef, it was lunchtime, no customers but the chef seemed exhausted/not enthusiastic) if I have ever met one.
There are tons of restaurants around, try anything but this place. I was holding on to the memory of old days when it used to be the one of the best french spots, atlas…the time has passed. I am nauseated, should have tried the pizza or the Italians at the corner
Very good, but of course very pricey French bistro food. Tiny place so primetime is packed and noisy.
Old-fashioned with poor quality control - I ordered the roasted duck, and it was undercooked, weirdly chewy, and unappealing. I should have returned it. The in-house cured salmon was a good order. There is no one overseeing the house - just waiters. It's a tired place.
