    Iconic place. Atmosphere is great. Views are best but partially blocked by structure of the building, even in the best tables. Food is good but nothing special

    We live in the neighborhood and were looking for a place to go at the last minute. And as good luck would have it, something was available here for dinner. It is a fixed menu (you get to choose between two main course offerings), with a total of four courses for $75. Very good value for the quality of the food, the ambience and service. We will make this a monthly go to! Highly recommend! And to boot, Executive Chef Marc came out and spoke to his guests!

    This is our neighborhood gem in Soho. The dining room is cozy with dim lighting, photographs, and dark wood. This was a mild Fall afternoon and the tall front windows were open to the breeze. The waitstaff is very pleasant, and professional - old world style. My husband had the moules marinière and a roasted goat cheese salad. I had the garden salad and the chicken paillard in a balsamic reduction. Topped it off with tira misu and the whole experience was perfection. We sat in the back corner and the noise level was quiet. We could actually hear each other speak, not so usual nowadays.
