By offering quality French fare at such welcoming prices, this bistro has managed to stand out from the pack of ensuing arrivals that now line Smith Street. However, the small dining room can mean long waits for a table. Popular dishes include sautéed foie gras with mango and rhubarb chutney, cornmeal-crusted Blue Point oysters, and braised lamb shank with rosemary sauce. Reservations not accepted. Subway: F to Carroll St.
