This is one of the best restaurant I've been to in a while. The place impressed me so much that I make an extra effort to write about it and tell everybody! The cuisine is French and it is a bit pricey but the service is exceptional and the food is great! They only have tasting menus, 3 course ($96/person) or 5 course ($135/person). Since we were short on time we went for the 3 course which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert.
Our server would come to our table to refill our bread every 20 minutes. There were 6 different type of breads to try. My favorite is the raisin and almonds and the buttermilk rolls! I've never had bread like that before! Our server also gave us their complimentary 3-tier appetizer--very good!
For appetizer I had the Scallops and my friend had the Foie Gra, both were very good. The Foie Gra is spreads smoothly and the flavoring is just perfect. The scallops was juicy and has a citrus after taste to it. As for the main course, I had the squab, I think this is the best squab I've had ever! The meat is very tender and the sauce that accompany it is makes it perfect. My friend had the beef course, it was also very good. You can cut the meat with your fork! As for our dessert, we had the rhubarb, grapefruit served with green tea juice, and the glazed bananas, all was just great! All the portions were also very big, which is different then most tasting menu place I've been to. Just when we thought we were done and was feeling very stuffed after dessert, our server came with some freshly baked Madeline! IT WAS SO GOOD! We really stuffed ourselves. I definitely recommend this place to anybody who visits NY.
