E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould, as well as by various writers, poets, and pugilists.Since its renovation, Minetta Tavern has best been described as "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern."We hope — and believe — that's a somewhat accurate description of the place.

    We had such an enjoyable Christmas Eve dinner experience at La Bise. The restaurant decor and ambience was cozy yet artsy. All the staff, from the maitre d to the bartender to our waiter to the support start were friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic and the prix fixe selection was generous. Such a lovely evening! Thank you!

    Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.

    Maison Cheryl is one of our favorite restaurants and we just popped in for an early bite at the bar and it knocked it out of the park as always :-)  The winter salad with squash and pecans and goat cheese is my new favorite. Hopefully they put it on the regular menu! And had the truffle burger, which I had a craving for and why we went there. :-)  Trowley on an amazing Wagyu burger, nothing more needs to be said. Outstanding! And of course, truffle fries to go with it.. incredible
