This brasserie with New York heart lives on the ground floor of the Lucerne Hotel. From morning until night, servers are bustling and cutlery is clattering throughout the deep, comfortable dining room. The colorful interior feels cheery with pale yellow walls, curved green banquettes and bountiful plants.
Chef/owner Andy D'Amico delivers a versatile, Mediterranean-inspired menu with heavy French leanings. Soft prices and hearty daily specials merely help things along. Sample the likes of potato gnocchi with prawns and Spanish chorizo, followed by lobster sausage coupled with potatoes, spinach and sauce Américaine. Round out these robust flavors with a rich creme chantilly-laced chocolate mousse.
