Zagat says: “Step into Paris in Madison” at this “very French” bistro from the owners of New Haven's Union League Cafe, serving “simple” but “beautifully prepared” classics (like “excellent” cassoulet) in a “charming” traditional Gallic setting with “attentive” service; it's a “boisterous”, “convivial” scene – in fact, plan on “rubbing elbows” with other diners in the “tight” space and note that it's “hard to get a reservation.”
