    Cognac is a true find. A casual warm bistro with a vozy vibe. Wonderful customer engagement, service and food. The menu is varied and all items are delightful. Dessert menu is a bit chocolate focused though all are delicious. Its our new favorite spot close to Carnegie Hall, Nordstroms and Central Park.
