I love this place! The food is wonderful, bright, and alive with flavor. This was my second visit, and I was happy on both occasions. The food is is reasonably priced, especially considering the kind of fare you are treated to. You experience spicy comfort food when ordering the Russian Dumplings. The steak meat inside the dumplings is good- no gristle or fatty pieces here. The salads are good, nice cuts of citrus fruit, and quality arugula. We tried the market price fish on our last visit, and found the tilapia to be perfect, tangy, tart with lemon, dense with capers, and flaky and moist. The breading on the fish was good, and the accompanying vegetables were the best I have had in a very long time. Perfectly cooked and seasoned! The place is modest in most respects, but has a cool, European feel. The view is not to die for, because you look out at the dive bars nearby, but you are here for the food anyway. The artwork is nice, and the choice of music good. The servers leave you alone to sample your food in peace, and the chef peaks at you from the counter, hoping your face will indicate your savory satisfaction. This bistro cares about your experience, but if you can't appreciate their amazing, foodie concoctions, they are not going to repackage it for you. They are unpretentious and hopeful that you enjoy yourself, but you are left to your own thoughts, which is my favorite kind of place.
Pros: Wonderfully prepared food
Cons: not a money-maker view
