"Head to Bon Ton just to crack open crab legs with your teeth under the glow of a sign that says “Fancy Service.” Their reliably good food and effortless ability to straddle the lines of casual and cool are why this Cajun-Vietnamese restaurant fills up with a crowd with mixed post-dinner agendas. Think Fox Theatre-goers prying out buttery charbroiled oysters, party groups who want a solid fried fish platter before heading upstairs to dance at the Waiting Room, and us with zero social plans. But we’re here in our sweats and an old T-shirt huddled into one of the comfy wooden booths because we have every intention of sloppily drinking the broth from our seafood boil. It’s that good.
