For a bit of old-world (meets new) France, there are few better places to go than this lovely brownstone. Having seen the departure of chef Chris Nugent, itâ€™ll be interesting to see what the new era ushers in. Dining here is an experience---and a costly one at that; however, the dishes are eclectic, well-balanced and draw heavily from local produce, facts that justify the expense. If itâ€™s available, go for roasted quail with spiced beluga lentils, apples and Chantenay carrots when available. Follow with duck consommÃ© buoyed with duck confit ravioli. The rooms are so cool, so intimate and sedate, that theyâ€™re worthy of nothing but the best. If you are looking for a quiet, romantic hideaway, this is the place. Service is discreet and polished (though sometimes with attitude in tow). The wine list is exceptional---heavy on French Bordeaux, Burgundy and bubbly.
