Simple French fare, old-time bistro decor & sidewalk seating make this a popular neighborhood spot.

I have been coming to this iconic, lovely, lively, warm restaurant for more than a decade — I bring everyone I love here. There is no better spot in NYC — the food is delicious, the staff are delicious ❤️, the mood is always uplifting. Do yourself a favor and come to one of the most authentic spots in the city.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff was also very attentive, with reasonable prices. However, we had 4 different steaks and unfortunately while they were all cooked perfectly the actual quality of the meat was quite low and none of us enjoyed it. This could have been a one time thing however I have to mention it. That being said our appetizers were delicious.
The best cosmopolitan's I've ever had. Max is truly a gem and so is his staff. Very welcoming atmosphere with inviting smells of garlic,shallots and wine. Best garlic frites.
