Barbette (CLOSED)

Stylish, refined and a bit of a bistro, French restaurant Barbette sets steak frites, endive salads, mussels and more on the table. In the daytime it's cheery, at night, moody and romantic, with bistro chairs, tealights, mirrors and brass accents. "Outside," the rear dining room feels like an enclosed French garden, full of lush plants and brick walls—a great place to sip your way through that list of sparkling cocktails.
