| - Big fan of Weezie's.
It is not well known and that's part of it's charm; heard about it from a co-worker and could not believe it's been in my neighborhood for three years and I haven't tried it, so i did...promptly.
As far as a casual hood bistro, I can't ask for anything more. Great friendly service (discussed the evolution of the neighborhood in depth with the server), excellent food quality for the price, and a chic but comfortable atmosphere.
I have heard legendary tales about the steak tartare, and great things about the escargots, scallops, and burger but didn't get to try them. My fault as we got there for the last reservation past 9pm, but they were out of a few items. That said, between the two of us we got to try the frisee salad, sardines, mac'n'cheese, and steak frites. All great, with the mac'n'cheese being the standout.
No harm done though; I will be back, many times over, and will run through that menu eventually. And when I do, if the food stacks up to what it's said to be I may just have to upgrade it to 5 stars.
In the meantime just remember: they run out of items, even on a weeknight, so go early. At least if makes me feel confident in the freshness of the food since it suggests they seem to buy supplies on a daily basis.
