Replicating a traditional French brasserie from the 1940s, the main dining room, which seats 90, is dotted with brass chandeliers, oversize gilt-framed mirrors, and paintings that echo the Art Nouveau mural from the Paris flagship, open since 1947. For alfresco dining, South Florida architect Charles Benson created a landscaped patio for 40. The restaurant is open 24 hours, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner and features a menu of fresh seafood and brasserie fare.

An L-shaped black marble-topped bar runs the length of the 900-square-foot restaurant and separates the open kitchen from the indoor dining area. An air-conditioned patio can seat an additional 14 for alfresco lunches or accommodate about 20 for afternoon receptions. The entire restaurant seats 30 and is available for buyouts on a case-by-case basis.

Adjacent to the indoor dining room, the lounge has two seating areas inside that accommodate eight each, with additional seats for 20 at the three-sided bar and wicker chairs positioned throughout the space.
