"This inviting neighborhood bistro hits all the bases regarding its friendly atmosphere, stellar service, and flavorful fare, making it a prime spot for family visits. Executive chef and owner William Lawson prepares French, Italian, and Southern-inspired dishes in a white tablecloth setting that’s not stuffy. Diners often start with crisp artichoke hearts, charcuterie, or crab cakes, then move on to a seafood grill, braised short ribs, homemade pasta, or a Black Angus rib-eye. Lawson’s desserts include Grand Marnier cheesecake, French apple tart a la mode, and chocolate cherry tiramisu. The small bar is a local gathering spot, serving an international wine list, with 28 choices by the glass, craft beer, and sangria." - Rochelle Ward
