Chez Lucienne - French - Harlem

I was surprised to find this in Harlem and I will definitely go back.

Food: 4/5 - I had coq au vin. 1 of the 3 chicken breasts was a little dry; the sauce was fantastic; the bread and butter were great.

Atmosphere: 4/5 - A great place for a date! Lighting was good to set the mood, the noise level was good enough for talking comfortably, and it felt very cozy.

Service: 4/5 - I had to ask for water once and the bill was a little slow, but they were quite busy. Staff was professional and warm.

Price: reasonable. For coq au vin, an espresso, 15% tip...$25.60

Location: 4/5 - within 5 min of the 125th stop.

Should you go? If you live north of 110th, it's definitely worth the trip; otherwise, go to UWS.
