You might not be in the DR to eat in an upscale mall. But best to get over it. This European-style brasserie with a stylish outdoor terrace is one of downtown's more fashionable spots. Good for people-watching and enjoying sushi, grilled fish, big cuts of steak, pasta, as well as pizza and burgers.
