Description

The space features both a cozy interior and outdoor seating. Visitors often praise the hospitable, professional service, calling out the calamari and frites as highlights, whether dropping in for a solo date or a gathering with friends. Still, experiences can vary; brunch dishes like eggs and English muffins have received mixed reviews for tough textures, and guests have noted issues with fruit flies around the bar. Despite these inconsistencies, it remains a popular Manhattan option for a classic French 75.
