Profile

The burgundy-and-brass-bistro-by-the-numbers rooms don't lead you to expect much, but what used to be the dreariest corner on 57th Street is now a boisterously attractive destination with quirkily superb dishes like mission fig turnovers with Parma ham and duck crumble. Unlike Pastis, it won't remind you of Paris. But when was the last time you ate this well around the corner from Bergdorf Goodman?

Brunch

Sat.–Sun., 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

I visited this place 5 times during my month long stay nearby. As a single diner it's common to be given shortshrift by staff but the staff here always make you feel welcome and valued and they were attentive from start to finish. Cocktails at the bar and dinner on the terrace (steak frites) was good quality and well executed. Numerous breakfasts and brunches here included delicious omelets, very special eggs florentine and french toast with strawberries. The fresh orange juice is wonderful. The cafe latte (espresso) needs work - they need an Italian barista! The place was always buzzing whenever I walked past both weekday and weekend. I've read some bad reviews on here but I honestly can't say I've had similar experiences. I saw the owner visiting the premises and giving constructive criticism re the food, staff and premises - always a good sign.

WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD!!!

MY friends and I went there for brunch to celebrate this past weekend and we were treated like absolute trash by the manager, DAVID. He was so demeaning and refused to seat us because we looked Middle Eastern. He yelled at us in front of the entire restaurant and threatened to throw us out because we chose to wait for an outside table and he did not want to seat us there. The food was forgettable and the service was appalling. I will never go back. I have never been this humiliated. I cannot believe they would treat customers this way!!
