"Across the street from his Italian restaurant, Esther’s Kitchen, chef James Trees has opened a French brasserie. Trees return to his culinary roots with Bar Boheme, whipping up what he describes as French food made meticulously – but in a way that is still approachable. Three different steak frites come with fries that are sliced, mashed, frozen, and fried. Mussels are served drenched in a buttery sauce of white wine and tarragon mustard just right for sopping up with slices of crackly baguettes. Do save room for dessert as the tarte tatin is flaky and sweet — with a touch of savory — and macarons are chewy while remaining light as air." - Janna Karel
