Beautiful spot in NYC with good service.
The food was good, I tried 6 different dishes including dessert, food was cooked properly, a sign of a skilled chef, I enjoyed all of the dishes but in terms of how good the dishes were, they were good but not good enough or creative enough to be memorable or to make me come back again, French cuisine is complex and I'm judging this restaurant by those standards.
Dessert wasn't bad but also wasn't satisfying. I tried two dishes from the menu and non of them made me go for a second or third spoon.
The most disappointing part is the wine menu, I tried all the whites and all the reds by the glass, and non of the listed wines do justice to Burgundy or Bordeaux or French wine in general, and also they do not pair well with the food served, yes they mentioned that they are working on their wine menu but for a French cuisine they can do much better than this, I also tried one of their cocktails and mentioned that I don't want it to be overly sweet, they adjusted the ingredients and added so much ginger that I only tasted ginger in the drink.
Friendly staff and I hope that they look into these minor details, such a beautiful spot needs more attention and creativity
I don't know how this restaurant was before the pandemic, I'm only reviewing it by my recent experience.
