Just a short walk from some of NYC’s top music venues, this intimate spot combines old-world charm with a relaxed downtown vibe. Think exposed brick walls, rustic wooden accents, and an impressive wine list that leans French but spans the globe. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—ideal for winding down or gearing up for a night of live music.

What People Say

Reviewers love the intimate ambiance, with many praising the wine selection and small plates like the charcuterie board and croque monsieur.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests rave about the experience, some note that the menu is on the smaller side, so those looking for a full dinner might want to manage expectations. Also, seating can be limited during peak hours—arriving early is a good idea, especially on weekends.
