Editorial Review

Morning and noontime see the dining room packed and the sunny patio hopping with locals, with some devotees returning for three squares a day. Baked goods to go (huge platters of challah French toast and eggs Benny in the morning), generous salads, wraps and sandwiches are signatures of this bustling bistro. Dinner is casual, featuring veal chops, rack of lamb, daily fish and pasta. The three-course early-bird dinner special changes seasonally. Unlicensed. Mains $12.95–$28.95.
