"Where La Merise is quaint, Le Bilboquet is glitzy: The lavish decor is an invitation to indulge, while the modern-leaning French menu all but insists upon it. Foie gras mousse, Wagyu tartare, and duck confit go without saying; so does a mostly French wine list that rarely dips below $100 per bottle. But the people-watching alone is worth the price of admission — and so are humbler surprises like the poached egg–topped lentil salad." - Ruth Tobias, Gigi Sukin, Eater Staff
