The Scene
With its long zinc bar, plush couches and patterned suede walls, the lounge is a swank spot for midtown's cocktail crowd. But dip around the corner, into a clamorous room of curvy booths and glossy tables, and all pretensions disappear. Servers parade heaping bowls of shoestring fries and tall stacks of onion rings. Here, people have fun with their food.
The Food
Laurent Tourondel fuses an American steakhouse menu with French bistro sensibility and charm. The gorgeous (and gratis) cheese popovers are best followed by ham-stocked clam chowder, or signature BLTs oozing with foie gras, apple-smoked bacon and roasted tomatoes. Entrees are elemental: Choose herb-crusted, grassy lamb, seared American Kobe flatiron steak or buttery Dover sole, then select your sauce (three-mustard and horseradish cream stand out). Sides, from creamy spinach to sauteed wild mushrooms, are stellar. For dessert, the tangy, fluffy lemon meringue is not to be missed.

It was a good steak, dont get me wrong. Its really hard to "butcher" a good piece of meat so most anyone can do an average job. However, when you've experienced Peter Luger or even the Strip House, I'm sorry to say everything pales in comparison. The sides are very small. I'm not a bread person but they have these enourmous popovers for the table that my party enjoyed. Overall, I dont think its worth the price but for many single women, the place was crawling with martini drinking carnivores of the male type. Joyce De Witt seems to like it, she was there with friends, she was lovely in person.

Loved the steak, wine list, and service was great- expensive, but it's worth it for a special night out- I will be back.

Walk-ins can make themselves at home at the long communal table that stretches out from the bar. There's a space upstairs for private parties.
