Pretentious non-French college dorm cuisine
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I went with my mother to this restaurant for a pre-theater meal and was thoroughly disappointed. The food was quite possibly the worst meal I've had in New York. It reminded me of eating at my university dorm. What was worse was that the restaurant was nearly empty and our every move was being watched by a slew of waiters. The sleazy head waiter kept loading extra food on us only to ask for a head waiter tip on top of the regular waiter tip at the end of the meal. How tacky is that? We have to tip for hospitality??? I've been to plenty of great French restaurants in NYC and France and this place poses as a French restaurant. PLEASE save yourself and do not go here!!!!!

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Extra head waiter tip

Editor's Review

Still sparkling after all these years: a classic French doyenne for romantic occasions and sumptuous food.  See the full editorial review.
