I'm really surprised not to see Luxe rated higher. It's definitely the best restaurant in Gordon Square, and consistently so. I simply love it for Happy Hour: you can get an absolutely tantalizing portobello & goat cheese pizza for only $8 (actually all the pizzas are pretty darn delicious). I also highly (highly, I say) recommend Luxe for Sunday brunch. They have an amazing array of mimosas made with a nice, crisp Spanish Cava. The Eggs Benedict, French Toast, and Brie/Mushroom Omelet are also as perfect as can be.
Here's a rundown of some of the other dishes I've had during my many visits:
Veal-stuffed olives ($9)--a definitely adventurous, but esoteric combo that may put off some, please others.
Fried brussel sprouts ($5.50)--not as good as the brussels at Bier Markt, but ranks up there.
Mussels ($12.50)--the miso mussels at Dante have a more flavorful broth, but this dish is a safe bet for shellfish lovers.
Duck spring rolls ($10)--a little sweet for my tastes, but definitely worth a try during Happy Hour at 1/2 price.
Potato Gnocchi ($15.50)--heavenly! and it comes with braised short ribs--what more can I say?
**I also want to put in a hip-hip hooray for the Luxe staff--they are some of the nicest, friendliest restaurant people in town--pitch-perfect in how much attention they give to diners.
