Description
This sexy French eatery mixes brasserie classics (mussels, steak frites, fondue) with more progressive creations from chef-owner Philippe Feret. Among them: a fried soft-shell crab perched over green beans drizzled with balsamic vinegar; a respectable burger piled six inches high with cheese, bacon and wispy fried onions. A jazz trio works the room Thursday through Saturday, and those pinching their euros can take advantage of a three-course prix fixe for $25.
