We're thinking of having my mom's 70th birthday dinner there & just wondered if it was any good. Thanks.   Fisherp Citizen Username: Fisherp Post Number: 22 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 7, 2006 - 3:08 pm:        This may be too late, but yes I've been there - its quite good. They have a really great wine cellar in the basement where some friends had a private party for NYE...awesome.   davidbuckley Citizen Username: Davidbuckley Post Number: 479 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, February 7, 2006 - 3:35 pm:        I had some really good food there once. There is a Wall Street attitude/vibe as it is owned and frequented by street denizens. Enjoy and happy B-Day to your Mom.... Be well, all. David PS Let us know what you do/did and review.   Miss L Toe Citizen Username: Miss_l_toe Post Number: 454 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 7, 2006 - 5:59 pm:        I don't know about the Harrison restaurant - but here's another place you might like to consider: the L'Ecole - the French culinary institute restaurant on Broadway (near Canal St). It's where chefs are trained to cook in the French manner - and the standard is very high. Although I haven't been there yet, my friend - who is a real foodie - took her mother there to celebrate her 93rd birthday...it was elegant without being over-stuffy and I was told that the food was sublime. Here is the address and some reviews: http://brooklyn.citysearch.com/review/7113258 Also the prix-fixe menus seem to be highly recommended.   exmaplewood Citizen Username: Exmaplewood Post Number: 25 Registered: 7-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 1:16 pm:        It is pretty good. It is a wall street crowd... I think one of the owners is a investment banker and citigroup is right accross the street.
