Fodor's Expert Review Frenchish

Innovative, flavorful, fun, and, indeed, French-ish, the renowned culinary team of Nelle Bauer and James Beard Award-semifinalist Jennifer James shines at this modern spot with a seasonally specific bistro menu (with vins and bubblies to match). Plats principaux might include their perfectly turned New Mexico beef steak frites, an elevated salade niçoise, or "day boat" halibut; perennial faves like their Frenchie burger, famous devilish egg, and a very popular carrot dog balance the menu. Finish with a classic chocolate pot de crème and a French-press coffee, or perhaps one more glass of cava.
