"Neighborhood Restaurant Group’s first French brasserie popped open in June, bringing Old Town a hot new spot for martini service, escargots, beef Bourguignon, and big bottles of bubbly. Executive chef Matt Cockrell pays extra attention to his pates, terrines, and classics like French onion soup, skillets of mussels, and creations like a seared red drum with tomato concasse, eggplant, olives, herbs de provence, and squid ink beurre blanc. The three-level space with room for 220 offers plenty of cozy nooks to dine and drink, with a Champagne bar popping up top on Bastille Day." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
