New Haven
An upscale French bistro in the historic Union League building. Expect a menu featuring continental classics like cocotte de joues de veau (organic veal cheeks with sautéed wild mushrooms; $25) along with those of nouvelle cuisine. If your budget is tight, try a sinful dessert like crêpe soufflé au citron (lemon crepes) washed down with a glass from the exquisite wine list.
Date place par excellence.
