"Just next door to Chef David and Anna Posey's Elske, I found a charming neighborhood restaurant whose name belies its character: the space channels a classic bistro with stone and wood walls lined with art, black-and-white checkered tile floors and a mix of banquettes and tables. The concise menu leans on French cooking with Midwestern flair, offering dishes like Parisian gnocchi in creamy gruyere sauce with crispy ham and a drizzle of egg yolk, or steamed halibut with sauce homard and dumplings, and it carries that simple but well-executed theme through dessert with options such as raspberry sherbet meringue cake or baguette soft serve with chocolate and brown butter crumbs." - The MICHELIN Guide
