There will be a croquembouche for dessert. Her inspiration arrives from chefs like André Soltner and Jacques Pépin a painting by Mr. Pépin hangs around the bar. Other than for a Hungarian Tokay, the wine listing is all French and American, and the salonlike area seats 37, furthermore 9 at the bar. Banquettes in inky blue, which Ms. Mar reported was the shade of her father’s favourite sweatshirt, distinction the creamy ivory of the partitions, and touches of that shade clearly show up in the staff’s Christian Siriano-created outfits. The restaurant’s name, which interprets to the three horses, is a nod to what her spouse and children called her and her two brothers. (Opens Thursday)
