"From a Top Chef France finalist (who was briefly involved with Margot), Le Chêne is NYC’s latest dainty French restaurant, and yes, it is in the West Village. There are Basquiat prints on the walls, a hunky looking pithivier on the menu, and a fleet of silver saucers and french fry canisters imported from France. The burgundy paint outside is your first clue that they’re pretty serious about their wine collection too." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
