This Santa Barbara brasserie serves sumptuous classics, like French onion soup made with oxtail broth and 1776 Gruyère, Steak Frites with hand-cut fries and “secret” sauce, and Potatoes Gratin Tartiflette with bacon-onion compote and Brillat Savarin cheese. Modern versions of coq au vin and duck confit cassoulet come in hearty ceramic baking dishes. Premium wines, cocktails (low-proof), and beers can be sipped at the Paris-inspired bar counter, on comfy banquette sofas, in the second-story loft, or on the urban patio. Other highlights are a prix fixe three-course tasting menu, rotating vegan dishes, and irresistible desserts, like the house-made profiteroles with vanilla gelato and salted espresso fudge sauce.
