Bon Apetit becomes Tres Chic !

Recently, I was lucky enough to dine at the fabulous Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club and it was a great dining experience. Usually some places are pretty to look at, and the food is lacking and vice versa - but at Bruno Jamais , your eyes and your stomach will be equally satisfied.

This is the perfect spot for a girls night out ( preferably thurs -sat after 11pm ) to a romantic diner with your beau. The possibilities are endless in regards to reasons to pay a visit.

The service was superb, and the food presentation is like little works of art you almost don't want to destroy.. But you're obliged to from the succulent aromas from the great flavors used in the Contemporary French entrees. I highly recommend the Rissoto of the Day , as one of your choices for the night. You will thank me later.

Do not be surprised if you meet Monsieur Bruno himself, as he is a very warm and welcoming owner.

I just loved walking through the beautiful wine cellar entrance ( pictured, above center ) one of the two wine cellars that the Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club has - where theres bottles that go for $ 10,000 . It was the great preview to what was to come ( in regards to the decor) .

Pictured below, are some shots of the main dining area that is more than appealing to the eye. The restaurant was designed by Tony Chi and won the award for best interior design by Hospitality design magazine. Another cool fact, is that the beautiful pOp art paintings are actually for sale (great food and art ! what else can you ask for? ) !

Celebrities have an adoration for this great secret hidden in the Upper East side as well from President Bill Clinton, Robin Givens, Chaka Khan, Billy Baldwin, Sarah Ferguson, Chazz Palminteri, Fat Joe, Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City’s Chris Noth and many others.

I am already looking forward to my next visit - which is VERY soon!
