Description
Tucked near Grand Central Station, this quaint, hole-in-the-wall space pairs attentive service with a focus on fresh ingredients. While the menu covers the expected classics, the kitchen distinguishes itself with a light, flavorful French onion soup, a balanced endive salad, and desserts like crème brûlée and profiteroles. The straightforward setup and consistent quality frequently draw comparisons to actual neighborhood dining in France.
