Fodor's Review:

This spacious brasserie is a beloved shrine to cheese, the passion of chef-owner Terrance Brennan. Gastronomes flock here for the more than 150 cheeses—available for on-site sampling or retail sale—then stay to enjoy their selections with one of 160 wines by the glass. Hot fromage-imbued fare also is satisfying, with preparations like gougères, onion soup gratiné, and several types of fondue. For curd-adverse customers, chicken paillard, steak-frites, or selections from the raw bar should satisfy.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
  • Subway: 6 to 33rd St.

WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!

Posted by PalmPilot from New York, NY on 6/10/08
Not terribly impressed with the impersonal service and the decibel level at this jam packed cheese shrine. Had a splitting headache when I left. Food's okay, but left feeling rushed and hoarse from shouting.
