"French reds steal the show at Troquet on South, a Leather District restaurant that also specializes in modern French cuisine, but starting with a Champagne by the glass is always a smart move if you’re partial to bubbly. Owner and sommelier Chris Campbell is happy to guide you through the extensive list, helping you select a bottle everyone at the table will love. This is a white-tablecloth spot that’s anything but stuffy, refined yet still creative. For a nightcap, pop by Offsuit, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar tucked into a back corner (if you can get a seat, that is)." - Samantha Maxwell
