"Between the maps on the walls and the handwritten specials on the chalkboard, this casual Bella Vista restaurant feels like a Parisian antique shop that happens to serve good food. The neighborhood spot works great for casual Friday night dinner with friends or first dates on a weeknight. You’ll find bistro hits like steak frites, escargot, and all kinds of duck. Plus, they have an extensive wine list—after all, they own the wine bar upstairs, and a fantastic snacky wine bar in Rittenhouse (see below)." - alison kessler
