 Comme Ca Restaurant Review: Comme Ça on trendy Melrose Avenue is chef David Myers’ triumphant take on the traditional brasserie. The interior is all black and white tones, with a library behind the bar, shelves with white dishes and pots, and a black wall with beautiful chalk drawings. The menu is entirely French with soupe à l’oignon, moules frites, salade frisée aux lardons, homemade charcuterie and escargots for appetizers. Continue with entrées such as bouillabaisse, salmon on polenta, duck confit or beef bourguignon. The straightforward steak frites is a great choice, as is the signature Angus beef burger with cheddar, lettuce, onions and dressing. Daily specials include whole roasted chicken for two on Monday evenings or a whole roasted fish on Friday. You may order a selection of cheeses (three for $15 or five for $25) before the apple tarte Tatin, the crème brûlée or chocolate pot de crème. Sommelier Christopher Hennessy oversees the wine list composed of French and California wines. The "18A" cocktail menu, named after the amendment that enacted Prohibition, features remarkable seasonal concoctions and reinvented classics.
