Les Frères Jacques

Fodor's Review:

Many restaurants call themselves French, but this elegant eatery next to the Olympia Theatre positively reeks of Gallic panache. Old prints of Paris and Deauville hang on the green-paper walls, and the French waiters, dressed in white Irish linen and black bow ties, exude a European charm without being excessively formal. Expect traditional French cooking that nods to the seasons. Seafood is a major attraction, and lobster (fished right from the tank—a "plus" that people with delicate sensibilities will find a definite minus) is typically roasted and flambéed with Irish whiskey. Others prefer the fillet of beef with toasted brioche, shallot confit, and Provençal sauce. Also recommended are the seasonal game specialties. A piano player performs Friday and Saturday evenings and on the occasional weeknight.
