The legend in the flesh. Mobbed with tourists during the day, but still cool for late-late. Banana donuts from bakery next door worth killing for. [BlackBook] Read more

Always a scene, always worth a late-night visit.
Tobias KJune 5, 2016
I got a croissant at Ceci Cela for $2.20 that was extraordinary. Then I walked down the street to Balthazar where the light fixtures were fancy and the $3.50 croissant was quite mediocre.
Ania BańczykAugust 6, 2015
We had to wait for the table for 30 min even though we had a reservation and they forget to bring the food I ordered. It was an embarassing experience. It's not worth the money.
Trudie WoodsJanuary 16, 2010

Be kind to the very friendly staff. Also, if you go in the morning they usually leave samples of a croissant or a pastry on the counter.

The duck confit was not that great. The French fries are amazing!
Kenneth TiongMarch 23, 2013
Decent steak frites. Steaks a bit tough and inconsistent. The first was flavorful but mistakenly done to medium, the second had the cornfed sour but had better texture. 4/5
