This
very old-world French eatery is renowned
for its sensational flower arrangements,
golden light and superb service. The
dining room evokes the romance of Paris
in a bygone age. The menu of classics
is executed by Matthew Tropeano. You
don't need to brush up on your high
school French before you go to negotiate
the carte; the savvy waiters will gladly
help you. We recommend the restaurant's
namesake, sautéed frogs' legs
infused with brown butter and garlic,
or the signature escargots layered
with porcinis and herbed butter. Other
appetizers might include an updated
classic of foie gras with quince or
crisp sweetbreads with turnips. Try
pike quenelles in a Champagne sauce
as an entrée or excellent côte
de boeuf in a pepper crust. Lovers
of classic desserts will delight in
the airy soufflé but since they
require preparation time, you need
to order them in advance. The wine
list is impressive, and the prix-fixe
menus are $59 for lunch and $95 for
dinner.
