It’s always a good time of year to eat at this upscale bistro. During the summer, everyone wants a seat on the large leafy patio (it’s first come, first served). When it’s cold out, the cobblestone streets, copper bar, tin-tiled ceiling, and red-leather banquettes are the perfect setting for dinner with your parents before seeing The Nutcracker. Servers still wear ties and the menu is made up of beloved bistro dishes: french onion soup, beef carpaccio, and delicate angel hair pasta with shrimp in a spicy Cajun cream sauce. Take a picture outside the historic front entrance on the corner of Beck and Mohawk—the valet guys won’t judge.
