text: My girlfriend and I tried to get a reservation a week before we left NYC but were denied and were thrilled that we were able to call one in the day of We even got upgraded from the bar to a real table Oh the disappointment that ensuednnThe goodnThe wait staff is genuinely friendly and knowledgeablenThe duck spam was the best breakfast sausage I ever ate It is accompanying asparagus tasted more like asparagus than any one of many I ever cookednThey make amazing French fries nTheir bread is moist and flavorful nMy girlfriend enjoyed her braised lamb main and it was indeed tender but I found the flavor was merely averagennThe badnThe menu is in French which forced the waiter to read us every item on it It created a lot of pressure to choose on the spotnThe menu is on a chalk board only so anyone with his or her back to it is out of luck Also it is not visible from the bar area so bar patrons are reading it over your shoulder Really you are so high on yourself that you cannot print it bilingually and on paper nThe muchtalked about app of bacon and cheese stuffed between two pieces of fried foie gras is very good but not worth writing home about The bacon was pure limp fat and the foie coating was oil greasy not foie greasynThe lobster sausage main was disappointment on a plate The accompanying clams and mussels were good enough but the squid was rubbery and the sausage was poor First it was dry Second it had no lobster flavor Third when I dissected it the few pieces of lobster claw meat it contained were bone drynnIf you want good food by all means eat here If you want a revelation go elsewhere
