Atmosphere Restaurant Review

: We’ve found dining in this long-established French bistro a bit of a rollercoaster over the years, but lately the train is at its high mark. The silky mushroom soup makes a fine starter, or perhaps begin with the assiette de charcuterie. Entrées may include moules marinières frites, coquilles St-Jacques, coq au vin or roasted pork tenderloin with chorizo rice pilaf. Super-dense chocolate mousse is a must for dessert. The wine list is short and not especially adventuresome, but there are plenty of options by the glass, and it’s easy to find something that goes with the food. The glassware is pretty banal, so ask for a larger glass to better savor your red wine. Reservations are essential, especially on weekends, when the brunch crowd descends en masse. The atmosphere is warm, with nice lighting and well-spaced tables; if you prefer dining outside, there’s a streetside patio, although the traffic is pretty close to the tables.
