"Verdict: A true neighborhood bistro. Unfortunately, the neighborhood in question is a region of the Upper East Side where townhouses start in the tens of millions. Chez Fifi, from the owners of Sushi Noz, serves steak frites, frog legs, and roast chicken in a stunning little wood-paneled box of a space. It's a perfectly nice and elegant experience, and it costs a wild amount of money: about $150 for the chicken, for example. Chez Fifi releases reservations at midnight, three weeks in advance. Later reservations are occasionally available at shorter notice. Alternatively you can walk in to the bar upstairs for snacks and dessert, or email reservations@chezfifinyc.com to reserve a group dinner for around six people in a cozy, curtained-off private room." - bryan kim
