Falais really tries to be sophisticated and to impress for less
$. The results are disappointing  most of the dishes are
unexceptional and some are very disappointing.  Portions are too
tiny which turns the place to a not- so-cheap bread restaurant
 i.e. restaurant that you have to eat lots of bread to feel
full (the bread is good but this is not a big deal anymore in
NYC).  $200 for three  a total waist of money and another NYC
disappointment  too many recently.    1. Click to Upload a
