"This place is one of New York's best-kept secrets."

"Monsieur, si vous plaît. I'm sure I ordered the fusilli and not the Fusilier."

"You'll love this. It's swarthy yet munificent, didactic and gregarious with hints of dogma."

"Vintage? What would you like it to be?"

'Waiter...my entrée fell over.'

"Compliments to the chef! Pass it on."

"Is the MSG local?"

"Which wine would you pair with the complimentary bread and butter?"

"Everything taste so divinely artisanal."
