Frommer's Review
In a city brimming with accomplished French restaurants, this is a personal favorite. The dining rooms run through the ground floors of two old row houses, and with rich decorative details suggestive of the namesake's era. Adroit service is provided by schooled pros who manage to be knowledgeable without being stuffy. Highlights have included salmon in a phyllo-dough crust stuffed with leeks and a dash of vanilla, Dover sole filet with fresh herbs, and mushroom ravioli seasoned with fresh sage. Lunches cater to an upscale business crowd, and the restaurant offers an early evening menu for theatergoers. The clean and bright 31-room Auberge Bonaparte is upstairs.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
