It looks like a bistro and it sounds like a bistro, but this Hell’s Kitchen spot proved to be about as authentically French as an Au Bon Pain. The enormous menu features meat loaf and pasta, as well as a bunch of misspelled desserts scrawled on the mirror, including a fromboisse tart. The room adheres to design protocol: slim room bedecked with Tiffany-style lamps, a scuffed mirror and a potted palm. The chef has a serviceable grasp of basic French cooking. His escargots, served without shells, were tender and properly drenched in garlicky butter. And the steak frites—grill-marked beef with crisp golden fries—was worth the $21 price tag. But the crêpes suzette, like half the bottles on the very short wine list, was not actually available.
