Fodor's Expert Review Raphael

This place bills itself as a bistro (to be exact, a "resto-bistro"), but that term doesn't begin to conjure up the elegant setting with touches of the Far East. The Mediterranean (framed by picture windows) is the perfect backdrop for the sophisticated cuisine. Try a first course like market vegetables stuffed with lamb, goat cheese, and basmati rice, then move on to main dishes like swordfish accented with white Madagascar pepper and tomato confit. The service is particularly attentive and pleasant.
