Whatever you do, don't miss the bread, an accordion-like loaf served with salted butter.

Frommer's "The place looks like a set for a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio with his hair slicked back. The food and drink are, of course, the stars here, and they continue the drama, with many of the dishes." Full review

Certainly, you’re here for the impeccably cooked steaks, but don’t miss the tartare, prepared tableside with quail egg, capers and cornichons (to name just a few embellishments) and served with herbed aïoli.
