Cocktail Lounge · Spirited · Central Business District
A French brasserie inside the Eliza Jane hotel — a handsome Warehouse District room running classic bistro fare with real technique. Steak frites, escargot, a raw bar, a thoughtful French wine program, and one of the better breakfast services downtown. More straightforwardly Parisian than Creole-French, a respite from the city's heavier traditions. For diners who want a clean, well-executed French meal.
