What a gem of a place! Transport yourself to a romantic wine bar in France for the evening.
It has the cutest, warmest ambience that you can find in the UWS. There is a simple counter in front of a huge wine rack, and then the rest of the floor is open with chairs along the middle and the walls.
They serve happy hour deals, and I was delighted to snag a glass of Beaujoulais right before it ended. It was delicious!
We ordered french onion soup, chicken confit, and a trio of cassolettes: salmon, duck, and boeuf bourgignon. My goodness, everything was fabulous. I paired the dinner with a wine sampler, which happened to be perfect because I paired the red wine with the beef, white wine with the salmon, and rosé with the duck.
To top it all off, the waitress was so incredibly pleasant! She had great recommendations and was very patient with our questions. When we asked for a bread basket, she said she was happy to bring us one, but she warned that it would make us full before the rest of the meal (which would come with lots of bread). I was so pleased that she cautioned us against the first basket of bread, because she was soooo right, we couldn't even finish all of our food even after skipping it.
Love this place and I will be back!
