"Situated in the Menil Collection campus, this bistro led by chef Greg Martin ties in his travels throughout Europe with French techniques to create a comforting all-day restaurant. Indulge in salads, pizzas, and entrees like its signature crab cakes with caper mayonnaise pepper and its 12-hour tender beef short rib topped with port wine and shallot reduction. For a nice change of pace, try the afternoon tea service. For $65 per person, diners experience a pairing of elegant bites and pastries alongside a selection of soothing, fragrant teas." - Brittany Britto Garley
