Perhaps the best meal I have ever eaten. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. Service was impeccable. I have been to other two star restaurants, including in France, and this was the best so far.

We go to Paris Bar before performances at Carnegie Hall and City Center. The food and service are excellent. A very interesting selection of wines by the glass. And they now offer a Prix Fixe pre theatre menu. The room is lovely, and conversation is possible. Try the Harvest Salad, Steak Frites, Onion Soup, Salad Niçoise. All terrific.
