A compact Old Town dining room built around modern French cooking that leans playful without losing technique. It’s best when you order the menu’s bistro-to-chef’s-counter hybrids—salads and seafood that read classic, but land with sharper plating and richer sauces.

Lyonnaise salad, Hamachi niçoise, Foie gras duo

Baguette, Almond croissant, Ham and cheese croissant
What Makes it Special: French bread-and-pastry counter with strong everyday utility for Old Town.
