Frommer's Review

In a city brimming with accomplished French restaurants, this is a personal favorite. The dining rooms run through the ground floors of two old row houses, and with rich maroon wallpaper and white tablecloths and china, the decorative details are suggestive of namesake Bonaparte's era. Adroit service is provided by schooled pros who manage to be knowledgeable without being stuffy. Recent highlights included salmon in a phyllo crust stuffed with leaks and a dash of vanilla, Dover sole filet with fresh herbs, and beef tartare with capers. Lunches cater to the upscale business crowd, and the restaurant offers an additional theater menu in the early evening.
