"Chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr had their eye on this French icon — open since 1937 — even before they opened Frenchette, in 2018. Twelve years after first contacting the original owner, the restaurant has reopened with the duo at the helm, mostly intact, with subtle changes. The prix-fixe menu holds at $125 per person — with knockout classic French dishes, an enthralling retro dining room, and terrific people watching. Take note that there’s now dining at the bar." - Melissa McCart
