"French cafe by day and fine dining destination by night — with afternoon tea on the weekend to boot — this East-meets-West restaurant is a relaxing place to sip French wine, pu-erh tea, or coffee made with proprietary beans. Dinner offers a quiet atmosphere, attentive service, and an elegant menu that includes escargots, foie gras, and French-inspired desserts — along with an affordable tasting-menu option. Feast your eyes on the contemporary Asian art gallery on site. [$$$$]" - Jay Friedman
