Chef Jonathan Pflueger creates updated American cuisine, reminiscent of French bistro fare, but with a distinct US slant. The stylish restaurant combines black-and-white tiled floors with dark wood booths and high ceilings for a cozy yet airy feel. While you peruse the menu, try a dish of marcona almonds or truffled popcorn. Some favored main courses are the soufflé omelette with ratatouille and goat cheese, salmon over green tea soba noodles, and cumin and coriander pork chops. Trendy cocktails are the beverage of choice, like the “Holy Water,” “Earl Grey Martini,” or “Currant Lemon Drop.”
