Great Skewers. I love the fish skewers. Great wine and when you can get the outdoor seating it's very nice.

One of my favorites on Smith. Been here a few times. Love the live music! Yes they get VERY busy and service isn't always the best, but the atmosphere and food make up for it.

Great food, great atmosphere. Another best of the neighborhood. Burgers are great. Minute steak is great. Mussels are great. Lamb Merguez sausage appetizer is awesome. Spicy seafood black linguine is awesome. Good atmosphere and good live music several times a week. If you are in this hood and debating where to go, stop, and go to Bar Tabac.

For the price the quality is pretty darn good. This is one of my favorite reliable bistros. Everything is uniformly tasty. The only reason why it didn't get 4 stars is the bread is too hard from too much rising. For the price and quality this place is underappreciated.

Like the feel, not the food. They show the soccer, which I appeciate but the food's pretty blah, brunch options are very limited and unimpressive. my french onion soup was very uninspired (really people its not difficult) my mother lives in france so likes going here when she visits so she can chat to the french staff - but i grew tired of it rather quickly due to the food. Again, the space and vibe are pleasant, there's a fun band on the weekend.
