What diners are saying
Celebrated for its authentic French flair steps from Central Park, guests praise Cognac for its elegant yet relaxed atmosphere and spacious seating. Standout dishes include the "best" mac and cheese, perfectly poached eggs, and fresh salads, though some diners note portions lean European and calamari can be hit-or-miss. While prices are high, reviewers highlight the exceptional, attentive service and extensive drink options, from amazing cocktails to well-balanced mimosas.
