The Scene
Between the large bar area on the right, adjacent outdoor patio and comfortable dining room, there is a corner for everyone at this moody restaurant/lounge. Gray walls, modern black chairs and pops of red accent the expensive-looking space. Service comes quietly and pleasantly from bartenders, servers and, occasionally, the chef himself who often wanders through the restaurant.

The Food
Perfectly cooked steak frites served simply on white sushi-style plates with herb butter anchors the dinner menu with other classics like pork chops and lamb. Small plates such as pork dumplings with tamara sauce, cauliflower tempura and spinach salad complement the standards nicely, as do old-school cocktails like mint julips.

Hits: Excellent cocktails, good company at the bar and perfect frites.
Misses: Lack of a decent happy hour
