Very good food, sort of a new spin in French classics. Tiny place, small menu, blessedly quiet and nice wine list.
We actually wanna try something else but we found out they change menu regularly. So we tried the asparagus and skate wing which are pretty good. One thing about the menu is that the options are quite limited so we didn't get as much food as we want.
There is no restaurant more perfect; this is a case study in how simple pleasures are made complex and dimensional through intentional selection and beautiful preparation. The menu showcases a seasonal point in time each day. Jungle bird with Mount Gay is utterly impeccable. The clams in broth with crusty bread was stunning. Bavette steak with fresh peas!!! Do not skip dessert, either: ice cream. Lovely attentive service.
Very small menu but the food was quite delicious. The menu you see in the restaurant is based off the one on their actual website and not the menu linked through google (singleplatform.com)
I recommend the Berkshire pork rib and chocolate fondant. The chocolate fondant is amazing! Also ordered the Vermont quail which had a piece of seared foie gras. The foie gras was absolutely amazing but I didn’t feel the same about the quail. The cocktails though were also really good.
The restaurant is a bit pricey in my opinion but the portions are pretty big especially the pork ribs.

Food is good but I really wish the portion is large. Or maybe the waitress doesn’t know I eat more than just these......
Absolutely delicious French food in a European atmosphere. The menu changes everyday based which add a unique sophistication. The bread and butter was so fresh and reminded me of Le Chateaubriand in Paris. Enjoyed every bite of the asparagus and crudo and the steak and fish were cooked to perfection. The only knock is the portions are so small and we ended up getting a slice at Bleeker Street Pizza.
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.

Favorite restaurant I've been to in years. Food was amazing, wine pours were generous, service was perfect. If you need a top quality restaurant with a small intimate setting, this place is perfect.
