Things are rather going slowly for Les Ambassades on Lenox over the summer but we noticed that a big part of the expansion was coming along nicely as of recent. There used to be a new bodega on this corner of West 127th Street but that business quickly shuttered within a years time and the Senaglese-French eatery next door apparently took over the lease back this spring.
Plywood has been up out front for some time but now it looks like a nice arched entranceway has been carved out between the two spaces. The interior design of the restaurant has been rather moderate in past incarnations so we are curious to see how things end up with the two spaces combined.
I wonder if the service at this location is any better than the one on FDB? This is an example of a local business i would LOVE to support but find the service to be disinterested at best. They did a nice job on the renovation on FDB, but the couple of times I have tried to eat there have featured the same old 20 minute wait for a menu type thing. It is a shame really.
ReplyDeleteThe service is better at this location. I am told that the plan is for the bar/restaurant to move into the new space and a pastry area will take over the current restaurant space.
