AI-generated summary

Sit at the bar for the cheap bites. People rate the $5 , the $2 east coast and the pecorino fonduta. The room is beautiful and the food is solid but not remarkable. A lot of people say it's overpriced and the service was bad. It's a Tao Group scene with influencers taking photos.

  • the food is solid, but definitely not remarkable. Both are fashionable/trendy spot with wannabe influencers everywhere takin pics and no one seems as worried about the food quality. Principe is classier (for lack of a better word) and Cathedrale is the typical Tao Group scene. Which is to say wack. Feels like Vegas. And I do not mean that as a compliment.

  • replying to u/scarstring: Agreed on skipping the salmon rilletes. What’s amazed me is that every dish comes with its own perfect bread, including the fonduta and wild mushroom toast (different textures with different levels of toastiness!).. even the tartar vs the lobster roll have their own different chips embedded within. It’s the small details that matter, and they have them nailed down.

    Personally I liked the rillettes and found them well-seasoned and not too fishy, esp as someone who normally isn't a huge fan of salmon.

  • Crispy skin and the most amazing chasseur sauce that elevates all the chicken essences and aromas.

  • replying to u/kokoromelody: I do find their a la carte menus pretty pricey, but have enjoyed what I've tried there. The bar bites are excellent imo - def recommend the mini lobster rolls and the smoked rillettes (the bread is amazing). Personally would skip the chips & dip unless you're a big fan of caviar.

  • When you're there it looks like a corporate meeting room or something just really kind of cheesy and not great.
