Absolutely 10/10 The owner, Tony, made us feel right at home, as if we were regulars. Stopped for happy hour first - great deal - and then enjoyed a dinner after. My girlfriend who doesn’t even like sweets, was blown away by the yuzu tart - sensational. Happy hour: - Oysters (2 dozen, 10/10) - Tuna Crudo (8/10) - Steak Frites (8/10 steak, 10/10 frites) - Sancerre (10/10, especially for happy hour of $12.5 per glass) Dinner: - Escargot (9/10) - Potato Dauphine w/ Caviar (9.5/10) - Steak Tartare (9.5/10) - Sancerre (still 9.5/10) - Pinot Noir (9.5/10) Dessert: - Yuzu Tart (10/10, spectacular) - Sauternes (9.5/10) Tony was kind enough to give us complimentary champagne “to go” to finish our night - truly a wonderful host. Will absolutely come back, the question is only when this week or next! Love, Carl & Julia

Love everything about Beaumont - the vibe, service, and food are all fantastic! So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood. Definitely try the wine list, mussels, and burgers, but save room for the truffle pudding cake. It’s to die for!

A lovely evening at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria! We came with girlfriends before the theater to enjoy the elegant, timeless atmosphere. We ordered cocktails and a few bites, and everything was fresh and delicious. Beautifully presented drinks, warm and attentive service, and a wonderful ambiance. Exactly what we wanted for a stylish evening with friends before the theater. the rainy weather emphasizes warm atmosphere Highly recommend!
