Perhaps you couldn't get a table at Marinus, or maybe you were in the mood for a more casual setting. Your taste buds won't suffer with Cal Stamenov presiding over this small European bistro in its comfortable off-the-croquet-court setting. As Marinus’s epic production orchestrates just around the corner, you can have your hamburger (made with only the best naturally raised Wagyu beef, of course) and eat it too at Wickets Bistro. Sample from the charcuterie plate of foie blond and house-made terrine, or start with a duck confit pizzetta with caramelized torpedo onion and arugula. Choose local petrale sole with a side of rice pilaf and Santa Cruz chestnuts, or Prime flatiron steak with marrow and pommes frites.
