 The sassy younger sibling of Rover’s, Luc is the quintessential neighborhood bistro. Chef Thierry Rautureau---known about town as “The Chef in the Hat” due to his ever-present fedora---brings his touch to this casual-chic place, named for his father. The inviting dining room has an energetic vibe but still allows for conversation. The affordable---although not inexpensive---menu features a small selection of à la carte items, including a complex boeuf bourguignon and classic trout amandine in brown butter, accented with just the right touch of lemon. Bistro favorites range from burgers and pork chops to Moroccan-spiced lamb sausage and steaks. Pizza and pasta selections, perhaps linguine in a tarragon-fish sauce, change often. For a light supper, pair a salad with a rich smoked-salmon tartine with capers and arugula. Luc’s light soufflé potatoes are already a signature dish. Chef de cuisine Seamus Mackenzie offers a rotating nightly special, which is large enough for a table to share: crispy whole roasted chicken, leg of lamb or duck. Enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail, such as the Vesper, or order from the well-selected wine list. You can’t go wrong with Luc’s reasonably priced half-carafe of house wine for $10. Don’t expect to drop in; reservations are advised.
