MartinSeptember 3, 2016Duck Confit w/ Yukon Gold Potatoes, Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Frisée
$15 prix fixe lunch special isn't that bad: includes sandwich or salad, cookie and a drink. You will pay that elsewhere in soho for lower quality 😊
DonFebruary 16, 2012The crispy pork belly on polenta is fantastic, as is the wine list and service. Great for lunch and catch ups.
Theresa MarkoApril 28, 2012The steak of the steak Frites, cooked Medium, is Just PERFECT! They will let you sub the frites for veggies for $4 more

Social Espionage, LLCDecember 28, 2010Get there early, sit at the bar or table with a friend and order the seafood tower and a bottle of Chateauneuf Du Pape. Perfect evening out.
Lars FreitagAugust 23, 2016Somekind a place to be. Good food, authentic atmosphere. Just a little bit overpriced.
get here before 10am on weekends and you'll probably be able to snag a seat.
Tim MuellerOctober 24, 2010Come for cocktails at 5:00PM for awesome complentary bar snacks. All of the food is top notch, but do yourself a favor and have the profiteroles for dessert.
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011Order the Pavlova for dessert - baked to perfection meringue - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside served with warm berries!
- Design*SpongeApril 3, 2011Lattes and baguette with butter and jam are all you need to be happy here. Along with the Eggs Florentine, yum.
- Eduardo RamirezAugust 6, 2019Constantly crowded. At least the food is good. Venue was really successful at reminding me of visiting Paris.
Krystal PinoApril 13, 2013I know you're going to say I'm crazy, but try the burger. It's out of this world.

Rafael Casas A.March 22, 2013The best onion soup in the world! Nice atmosphere, great service!! It's a must!!!
