ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. The decor is quite charming and the waiter was very nice.
  2. i'll still check it out for the place is VERY unique looking and the atmosphere is really euro cool.
dessert
50.0% positive
  1. This not-too-pricey little shop will give you a beautiful latte and cookie for $5-6, and much better than Starbucks to be sure.
  2. We don't recommend the prix fixe dinner as the dessert and soup do not make it worth the price.

  1. Finally we get our meal - a 4$ croissant that is half the regular size and has not yet risen, "french toast" slopped with cinnamon (and no syrup to be found), runny eggs (practically raw) doused in oil and herbs, and the most disgusting 'all-natural' frui
  2. Terrible food, bad service, do not go
  3. We don't recommend the prix fixe dinner as the dessert and soup do not make it worth the price.
  4. the worst eggs benedict I ever had
  5. The food here is UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE.
  6. The food here is quite awful and the chef is a little crazy.
  7. dont know if it is a French thing but I found the combination of chopped spinach mixed in with the cinnamon and sugar of the French toast to be a truly disgusting mixture.
  8. But all that is useless if you can't offer halfway decent food or service.
  9. Well, I suppose their bread was also good.
  10. Truly awful food
  11. Crazy chef - disgusting food.
  12. He took our order and then a little while later we had two sandwiches a chicken salad and banana french toast and a pretty good fruit juice which had about 10 different fruits.
  13. The bakery items are wonderful and the food is amazing (but pricey!)
  14. apparently the reviews say the food is not good.
  15. the food is not fresh and badly cooked.
  16. The soup course was good, and it came with a basketful of warm bread - also good.
  17. And the french toast was bad (and late arriving to our table) too.
  18. ordered the Bratwurst, which was quite tasty and came with garlic mashed potatoes, pickles, and mustard.
  19. My girlfriend ordered the Coq Au Vin, which was also good, although there wasn't a lot of chicken.
menu variety

  1. When I argued my point, I was told, haughtily in my opinion, that the pancakes were being removed from that menu and the price was $11.95 -- so I left, unhappy, ill-fed, knowing I would never ever return.

  1. It's a great place to brunch.

  1. Terrible food, bad service, do not go
  2. Chef Frederic is very nice, informative and friendly.
  3. and I hope that will be soon, cause I live in the Gramercy area, and there is a line of great people waiting out there that can do so much better than this guy.
  4. The decor is quite charming and the waiter was very nice.
  5. But all that is useless if you can't offer halfway decent food or service.
  6. The pastry is heavenly, the service divine.
