Oliver and Bonacini’s welcoming Front Street standby bears many of the hallmarks of an old-school bistro—belle époque posters, boeuf bourguignon, waiters in starched white aprons—and the ambience and the service still feel fresh and mostly fabulous. Chef Basilio Pesce has kept the cooking vital and totally up to date. His seared Ontario pickerel, topped with a soft-poached duck egg, is one of the nicest fish dishes in the city; it’s set over an exceptionally well-made smoked-haddock chowder that’s creamy, perfectly seasoned and strewn with just-cooked root vegetables. There are admirable little touches, such as the house mustard and cornichons set on the table. The baked-to-order madeleines and profiteroles are perfection. Mains $18–$36.
