位於Upper East Side​的優質法式料理​餐廳

The best and only choucroute in Manhattan. Service and ambiance was incredible. Luca made us feel at home at the great French reataurant. He was a perfect server, friendly and knowledgeable knowing what we would like. It was such a memorable evening. We are definitely coming back.

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

Never been here before. actually got it from open table. business must be tough since there is scaffolding almost to the door—wasn’t sure we had the right place. menu is the usual suspects—to me a good thing—though the desserts are rather impressive. I had branzino which was fresh, plentiful and excellent. My salad was fresh and wholesome not slobbered with dressing. My companions had snails, a curried chicken who was described as marvelous and a pasta she could not finish. wine list is long, not overpriced, lots of Italians. I was genuinely surprised by how well cooked everything was. Service was friendly, no actors auditioning. we will definitely be back—menu is changing in two weeks so apparently the chef is not resting on his laurels.

What a lovely Christmas dinner! The food is always dependably delicious, beautifully plated, and served with warmth and genuine attention to detail. I never tire of eating here. Hidden on a small side street and tucked back a bit from the sidewalk, it escapes the notice of passersbys strolling on First Avenue. Almost like a speakeasy, you have to “know” to go there. I almost want to keep this place to myself but it is such a gem and deserves to be recognized as one of the best restaurants in NYC, not just on the UES.

The food was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.
