Profile

The quaint townhouse exterior of this New American Meatpacking staple--made popular by one-time chef Zak Pelaccio--disguises a trendy first floor bar with a bustling back garden in summer and two more levels of intimate, low-lit dining framed by exposed brick. In the absence of a Pelaccio, the once eclectic restaurant has shed its Southeast Asian accents (and taken a page from overflowing Pastis across the street) in favor of text-book French flavors. There's foie gras with roasted figs, lamb cassoulet served in a cast-iron skillet, and of course, a juicy, crispy-skinned roast chicken. Appetizers show a bit more personality with smoked trout, rather than lardons, providing the salty foil for a frisee salad and the housemade gnocchi starter, speckled with chanterelles and laced with Pamesan, making an ideal side to share, or not to share. — Megan Miller

This has to be one of the worst restaurants I have been to in a long time. The decor is actually decent with candles and dim lighting. The food is absolutely awful! I got the chicken and it has the foot attached and fried with it. If I had gone to a chinese restaurant that's understandable.. but not in a place like this! It didnt taste good either. The pasta is also awful. They really need to re-vamp the entire menu. I hope I never have to go there again since there are so many better restaurants in the area. I would even get street food instead of this.
