"Most places are bars where you can get something serviceable to eat, or restaurants that serve a solid cocktail. South Street’s Good King Tavern is that rare, ideal middle ground. Most of the seating in the low-lit, intimate French restaurant is leather booths or small bistro tables. It almost feels like a cozy Parisian antique shop that happens to serve really good food. They have great cocktails and an impressive wine list (after all, they own the wine bar upstairs), but the food is far from the b-squad. The frequently-changing menu features small plates like chickpea-heavy socca and buttery escargot, as well as more substantial options like the duck of the day, steak frites, and mussels in a cider broth with smoked mushrooms.
