NYC has plenty of opportunities for those who want daring, nuevo, French cuisine. Yet, its always nice to return to places like Perigord which delight with their, always exquisite, dishes.

By chance we ate here on Valentines Day - the worst night of the year to eat at any restaurant so we got to see the kitchen and staff working under the worst of conditions - and we enjoyed our whole evening. It was just like being back in Paris - the food was very good, nicely presented and cooked just-so: Fois gras maison/lamb/cheese, escargots/turbot/floating-islands. The service is old-school French: correct and - given the day - efficient and friendly-enough. But - not touchey-feeley, so not for the inexperienced diner, perhaps. The better you are dressed - the better the service. Pretty good wine list - could do with a better selection of half-bottles, but that can be said of many places.

Christmas in Paris

This restaurant is A+, especially for those who go frequently. Christmas Day was packed from noon to 10 p.m. by local regulars who know the great meal and atmosphere they will enjoy. Even so, no one was rushed, no one had to wait to be seated, and the meal was served elegantly. This is not a restaurant at which to spend a forty-five minute meal. It is vraiment Francais, so just sit back and enjoy it. Minute for minute and mouthful by mouthful, it's the best French restaurant around, but not for those who are unwilling to give it the time to make worthwhile.

I don't know what the hype about this place is...there are TONS of better French restaurants and most of those come without the horrendous, obnoxious service. The food is uninspired at best. Pair it with the unwarranted air of superiority from the entire staff and you can find me at Daniel from now on.

This is the type of restaurant you go to when you want authentic Tarte Tatin with Creme Anglaise. The service is correct, but friendlly, and hte food is very, very good. Pricey, but great for a special occasion. Also, you can go there during Restaurant Week.

Great atmosphere, romantic, but still good for business. Food is rich, but wonderful, and the personalized service is something missing in most restaurants.

Service: very friendly maitre'd, and the owner Mssr. Briguet was also very attentive, discussing the dishes with my companions and inviting us all back. We were led to "the best" table (which is almost any table in the front room). Food: The turbot with a comte crust was delicious. Its only fault was that the portion was significatly smaller than that of the free-range chicken or filet mignon that my friends ordered. For dessert, I recommend the chestnut mousse cake- yum! Next time, I think I'll try the grand marnier souffle however. Word to the wise- You do not need to dress to the nines, but do make somewhat of an effort to look appropriate!

Waiter, oh waiter--where fore art thou oh waiter? Bread fit for pidgeons. A lemon tart that I spat out, and that made my sister run gagging for the ladies' room. Weird tastes abounded at every course, although the place is pretty and my chicken entree` was de-lish! Lunch for 2 with 1 drink each was $90. 2 1/2 on a scale of 1-10.
