a bit disappointment with this place especially given that this is a Thomas Keller restaurant. while it was nice that they were kid-friendly and accommodated us without reservations - the service was spotty at best. (how long does it take to get water?)
unfortunately the drinks (martinis) were horrible - they 'tried' to make it better but failed miserably. for starters, we had the fresh oysters and shrimp cocktail - it was good and fresh. we also tried the calamari salad, croque madame (ham n cheese with frites), lamb and duck. we finished off with a variety of desserts - the profiteroles were a standout.
overall the food was good, but not outstanding or memorable.
