Food:
Polenta: probably the best I've ever had! Sweet and buttery.
Snap Peas: Served cold on bed of (cold) butter. Quite bad & only had 2 or 3 peas.
Steak & Marrow: Both served tepid and a bit over cooked for my liking. The accompanying gravy was good, though!
Fries: Fine, regular fries.
Drinks: Manhattan was quite good (Lot 40 Rye) with some nice chipped ice.
Service: The above order took about 50 minutes to prepare despite being the first table seated and our neighbors finishing three plates before getting our first. Service was very hands off / teetering on unfriendly....definitely did not feel welcome. You may or may not get sneered at if asking for a Ceasar.
Space: Beautiful!
Overall Experience & Verdict: will not go back & will not recommend when friends ask (I have been recommended to go here many times in years past), as $80 can be better spent at a large number of other establishments.
If you're looking for French food and cocktails....100% La Palette is a much better option.
