I live in Boerum Hill and frequent this fine restaurant. The complaint made by the classless, loud party of 8 on June 25th is utter BS. That same evening, I was there celebrating with my party a very special birthday and that other large group was the noisiest, unruly bunch, so badly behaved that several patrons had to move their table away from them and others complained of the deafening loud noise they made. One man in their group of 8 sounded like a dog barking. The classless bunch walked out without leaving a tip and taunting other diners that sat nearer the door. That bunch have no idea how to behave in a fine dining restaurant. I'll be most happy that they'll never go back. Then we can eat a meal in peace.

But if you don't drink, my partner had a fruity peach and mango puree mocktail that hit the spot in the summer weather. The tuna tartare is fresh with a garnish that complements the freshness well without being too overpowering. The main dishes: duck confit and steak frites were incredibly moist and flavorful. My partner and I were impressed with the flavor in the duck confit's mushrooms! Very savory. Fries are exactly how you want fries to be. The desserts felt a little lackluster in taste--the chocolate souffle and the San Sebastian cheesecake--but I will give props to the dollops of flavor with the cheesecake and that they are made in house. Had a great meal here! It was calm and not uptight, a great date spot when you don't want to stress out but enjoy a great meal.

We ordered the Roman army sourdough, market salad, carpaccio, a couple of pastas, and the cote de boeuf. Everything looked and tasted so amazing that my teens barely spoke a word during dinner. For dessert, we shared the chocolate brownie pie, canard au citron, and strawberry shortcake. Everyone was happy and full and most importantly - my wife absolutely loved it. We'll definitely be back next time we visit!

Two people held down the entire restaurant. Seating, serving and bussing tables were all done by them. Ambiance felt comfortable and laid back and the 2nd most important thing outside of the food are the gender neutral bathrooms which were clean and well lit! The food was delicious and filling and the weird things that stood out to me was the fresh squeezed OJ and the side salad which was so nicely seasoned and the OJ was bangin! We definitely will be back. Go here!!

My wife and I are Park Slope residents and hadn't been here in a few years although we have…read moreconsistently recommended it to friends and relatives. Last night we came here, and although the service was friendly and welcoming, the food was definitely uninspired. We had a frisee salad which was sad, wilted and overdressed in red wine vinegar and bacon grease. It should've been bright and vibrant. Also troubling was that the poached egg was over hard - a quintessential aspect of the dish is the runny yolk, but instead it was just like an overcooked fried egg. Did the chef not notice this? Or did he/she not care? I had the duck which was not rendered properly. The skin should've been brown and crusty throughout but was instead inconsistent with that pale yellow hue of fat. Also, the meat was not properly sliced with pieces sticking together. The vegetables on the side were an afterthought, underdone and boring. Why not serve a solid mashed potato or cauliflower? A ratatouille? The food was not cheap and it was disappointing to eat a dinner clearly not made with love or passion.

Their escargot is top notch (and I've had plenty in my life) flavorful without being greasy, steak done right, their mushrooms truffle croquettes are scrumptious, the foie gras and a latte done right. The only item I wasn't too crazy about was the tarte tatin, a bit salty for my palate and one other slight no for us was is that it's a bit too dim. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Chez Moi for making our celebration warm, cozy, and very pleasant.

My date, on the other hand, had the chicken dish with a salad, along with several cocktails, and RAVED about everything all night! Clearly, his taste buds were having a much better party than mine.

But slightly elevated (you can come dressed very casually though). Great for a date night or just a dinner with friends. Service was great. Food: meant to be family style. The waiter recommended 4-5 dishes between two people. I ordered 5 dishes, plus dessert for two people and it was the perfect amount. Portion sizes are good to split with someone else, but you may need to order multiples if splitting with 3+ people. -Tuna Toast: comes with 2 halves. Has some heat to it! Was almost too hot for me. -Duck Fat Potatoes: exactly what you'd hope for. Super crunchy, not greasy, perfectly salty. -Leek Vinaigrette: this dish is cold. Really refreshing and cheesy. Enjoyed a lot. -Spaghetti Alla Chittara: not saucy, but has a lot of flavor. -Wagyu Brochette: cooked perfectly. Cheese sauce was key! -Yellow Cake: kept seeing this come out of the kitchen - almost every table ordered it. Simple and absolutely delicious!
