"It’s not really a brasserie, but it is a handsome and spacious bistro, with solid food — and most times you can walk in without a reservation. The steak frites with green peppercorn sauce (dip the fries in the sauce) is especially good; also consider the grilled shrimp with aioli, and the pick-your-assortment charcuterie plate. Since this restaurant is an offshoot of the St. Tropez wine bar, you can be sure the by-the-glass French wine selection will be great." - Robert Sietsema
