    To our delight, and without having asked, we were seated in one of the booths, which shield a bit from the lively noise level. Waiters were gracious and allowed us to sit and chat a bit even after our meal had ended. Lovely brunch offerings, the French toast a special treat.

    It was my first time dining here and I have to say it was 10/10. The food and drinks were delicious and my waiters James and Fatima were so kind and friendly. Everything came out in a timely manner.

    I was excited to see so many classic French dishes on the menu. I chose the Salade Nicoise for lunch. The fresh tuna was good but should have been hot on the outside and warm or cool in the center. It was cooked nicely, the right combination of seared and raw. There were too many greens as a ratio to the other vegetables. It needed more tomatoes, potatoes, green beens and olives. The dressing was very sour, did not seem to contain olive oil, and lacked the notes that come from French mustard and fresh garlic. I did like the addition of shaved red onion and fennel. The olives were pitted, too mushy and did not taste like good Nicoise olives. The small pieces of green pepper and cucumber were an fine addition but I would have traded them for more tomatoes The room is beautiful, the service is great and the acoustics make it easy for good conversation. The coffee is delicious.

    The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. It was very crowded that night and it did get a little noisy, but beyond that it was lovely

    The food was really good. The service not so much. But the food made up for the mediocre service.

    One of my favorite places for brunch and lunch on the Upper West Side. The staff is always very attentive and make me feel welcome. The food is terrific, they have some nice selections. The place is well lit (maybe a little too well lit) and the noise level is moderately high, but not crazy high so you can't have a conversation. Well worth a visit.
