"If $8 martinis at happy hour isn’t enough to pull you into French eatery Maison, then chef Vandy Vanderwarker’s menu of classic Parisian dishes should convince you. Choose between an expertly dressed salad of local lettuces, buttery escargot, steak frites, rabbit en croute, and a field pea gratin. The room is relaxed with black-and-white bistro touches reminiscent of old-school cafes in the City of Lights. Best for: A fancy date night off the beaten path." - Erin Perkins
