(This venue is closed.) Neighborly French bistro, except here your neighbors would include the Metropolitan Museum; comfortable and unpretentious. The wild mushrooms in my vol-au-vent ($12.50) sent forth a savory twang, though the pastry that cradled them was stiff; roasted lamb with rosemary ($26.50), was tenderly done, the chop more so than the leg; chocolate cake ($8) was light but satisfyingly sized.
