    There are classic menu items that never change & seasonal updates. Throughout the years with different management/chefs, the quality has remained consistent. Get the best BLT ever before 5pm.

    An UWS classic. Parisian-inspired bistro that consistently delivers. Always busy with diners of all ages. The tuna burger is what dreams are made of. Love their gelato too.

    Great neighborhood spot. Food excellent and servers very attentive and friendly. Menu is very enticing making it hard to choose. The five of us all had something different and we all loved our dishes.

    The burger and fries are infamous for a reason! This is an UWS classic not dissimilar to Balthazar, Artisanal or Benoit. Easy stroll from the Lincoln Center or IMAX.

    love the yellowfin tuna burger, but the classics are just as good. it is so cozy and feels like a time capsule

    mussels were flavorful and meaty but the fries were over-fried. order the mushrooms on toast as appetizer.

    No brunch cocktails before noon on Sunday. The avocado toast is served on a thin piece of bread and comes w a black bean purée that is good in theory but totally overpowers any avocado taste.

    If you are in the mood for æbleskiver/ebleskiver, their ricotta pancakes are like a fluffy pancake version of that.

    The best gazpacho soup of the summer, without even a trace of tomato! Try the chilled soup, which features mango, cucumber, pepper, and cilantro oil for a fabulous reinvention of a classic standby.

    Best french onion soup on the UWS. Feels like a scene out of the movie American Psycho, from the maître'd to the lighting.

    Low carb? Get the steak tartare with extra endive and no toast points. The curled leaves hold the tartare well on their own.

    Steak & French Onion Soup are great, but the Hamburger isn't as firm of a consistency as I'd like.
