With "lavish flower displays" amid "magnificent", "artfully decorated" environs ("where Truman Capote entertained his swans"), the "visual feast is beyond compare" at Charles Masson's "transporting" East Side "NYC classic", which is equally beloved for its "exquisite" haute French cuisine and "seamless" service; the "first-class" experience is "worth your last dollar" – though the $38 upstairs lunch deal is a "bargain."
