We had not been here since our last visit NYC a couple of years ago. Very happy to have made it back. Quaint small bistro in SoHo. Appetizer we had the Pear Salad and the Mussels with Garlic and White Wine broth. Both were superb. The entrees we both had the same. Cod served over lentils and a saffron sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky and moist. Dessert we shared the Apple Tartine. The flavor was excellent, but I think it was warmed on a microwave so the texture was too mushy. Drank a very nice bc Pouilly-Fuisse,

Nice experience overall. While name is totally French, relatively few menu items are. Beef bourginon which here is served over noodles wasn't accompanied by that thick clingy aromatic sauce that makes the dish.
