 Evoking the Gaslight Era (1890-1920), with acid-etched globes, warm woods and lots of banquette seating, Bistro Niko personifies romance. Executive chef Gary Donlick takes the menu on a romp through the classics of French bistro fare. We recommend the creamy and full flavored vichyssoise, actually an American French standard. Crispy confit de canard rests atop a bed of frisée garnished with a few cubes of al dente duck fat-fried potato cubes. For a snack or sharable first course, try the flatbreads, especially the mushroom version anointed with just a whiff of truffle oil. Fish is well done, and there’s coq au vin (a generous two-leg serving of chicken) and boeuf bourguignon made with Kobe beef and served over noodles, both standouts. Flourless Valrhona chocolate torte with salted caramel ice cream or a trio of cheeses makes a fine finish. French wines dominate the list, of course, and many are offered by the glass that pair well with this food. One tsk tsk, however, is that reds are served too warm. When ordering a bottle, request the better glasses. Brunch gets a few French nods with a classic omelet and a Benedict alongside a croque madame. For a quick trip with your honey to Paris without fishing for your passport, this could be the ticket.
