Gerard Craft decided to capitalize on his success at Niche by opening this lively brasserie in the city's Central West End, where diners enjoy "simple French fare done right" in an atmosphere that has "great energy" and "absolutely captures the feel of a busy Parisian brasserie." Whether it be a frisée salad, vichyssoise, mussels with frites or braised short ribs with mashed potatoes, the "authentic food" led a number of reviewers to say, "We have had many delicious meals here." There is outdoor dining in good weather and what many call "the best brunch menu in the city."
