Perfection from beginning to end, this restaurant offers the best French dining experience in town and a very well-priced seasonal prix-fixe menu. The waitstaff is impeccable, and the decor is elegant without being stiff. Don't miss the chocolate or berry-tasting desserts. Monday-Friday for lunch and dinner, Saturday for dinner only. Reservations highly recommended. $$$$. Most major credit cards. 1 Central Park West, at Columbus Circle (subway line 1, A, B, C or D to Columbus Circle), Manhattan, New York City.
