"This Williamsburg restaurant, which looks like the foyer of a renovated castle, has been making consistently good French food since 2019. Order the roast chicken served with fries in a puddle of jus, and round things out with a martini and profiteroles. It's not too hard to get a table here, so if you forgot to plan an important dinner, keep this place in mind. For solo dining or an impromptu meal with a friend, grab a few seats at the bar up front." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
