Pascal and Sabine is owned and operated by the Smith Hospitality Group.

Pascal and Sabine is an upscale version of a French/European Brasserie where dining patrons come to enjoy quality, simply prepared food, and high-end drinks in an atmosphere of elegance.

The interior is eclectic and elegant with rich decor and ambiance that is apt to be found in NYC. There is seating for 80 in the dining room, 18 more at the main circular bar (with no TVs), and 20 additional seats in the lounge area, which features a round espresso bar and a salon menu.

The decor is rich in its use of colors, fabrics, wood, mirrored/exposed brick walls, and soft lighting, There are cave-like banquettes, and artwork of Paolo Ventura, and to enhance the feeling of being in Paris, there is French pop music playing in the background.

They are open seven/days a week for dinner and an excellent Brunch on Saturday & Sunday. They offer a Happy Hour Monday-Sunday from 4 pm -6 pm

During the warmer months, there is outdoor sidewalk seating
