John Harris's Magazine Street bistro has been an Uptown favorite since 2001 — a James Beard-recognized room running a French-Italian menu with Gulf Coast sensibility. The grilled hanger steak with bordelaise and bone marrow is the signature; the bouillabaisse is a destination dish; the room is small and quietly romantic. Polished without being stuffy. For a French bistro dinner that locals have guarded for two decades.
