Famous and impressive but to me although the food was good, there are other spots in the city that are just as good.

A French bistro sans the French attitude. Great for dinner and apparently a great spot for brunch.

I love this place purely for the design. I did get 2 piercings done there and I think they did a good job. Their earrings are cute but the quality is not too durable.
