"Sel et Poivre is a throwback to a more civilized age in NYC dining. Lovely room, attentive service, a reasonably priced wine list, and French classics prepared correctly. If you are wondering where the great bistros of yesteryear went, look no further. This is the real deal. Highly recommended for snails, duck a la orange, skate, trout Amandine, steak frites, and the various daily specials."
