The Corcoran Group: Great French Bistro full of life (if a tad noisy). Definitely try the mussels, escargot, roasted main sea scallops or dover sole meuniere.
Halstead Property: Quaint French bistro w/ everything you would expect to find on a French menu. Try the Steak Tartare w/ frites and choose the spicy tartar, it adds a nice complement to the entire meal
Carla Moscoso: Great onion soup & mussels.
