Overall experience competes well with any formal dining experience in NY/NJ. I took my fiancee', best friend, daughter, daughter's boyfriend to R&tP last fall, for my daughter's birthday. It was wonderful. Service is excellent. The desserts are to die for. In fact, all the food was absolutely divine. Servings are on the large side. The wine list is diverse and priced from inexpensive to very expensive. The restaurant features select country and classic French haute cuisine, artistically presented, which you will be happy you sampled.
