empty.

But without expending
too much resource on its
overhaul, the Segurs have

subtly adjusted
the rovm’s per-
sona. A deep
olive hue on
walls and pillars
has replaced the
previous scarlet;
combined with
daster ceiling
tones, the room
is nuw warmer,
closer and more
intimate.
Goodfellas’
north wall car-
toon mural has
been replaced
with large mir-
rors. Low table
candles with
stylish green
lampshades add
to the look of a
roomy
Parisienne
bistro.

Serving staff is
turned out in
classic black and
white.

But Le Bistro is
far from formal.
With brother
Philippe presid-
ing, seriousness
is applied to
quality control;
elsewhere is the
joy of dining.
The food mean-
while is not

That might be

tentious. No overly rich
sauces or high priced dishes.

Instead, classic bistro fare:
Steak-frite, par example. Six-
ounce New York; grilled how
you like it; and accompanied
with a side of excelicnt french
fries and nightly vegetable
selection — grilled red bell
pepper, zucchini, acorn
squash. The dish is one of Le
Bistro’s Dinner Express selec-
tions designed for theatre-
goers or otherwise impatient
diners. Ready-in under 12
minutes.

For the less hyper, main
entrees ($12 to $18) range
from Chicken Penne to
Scallops Normandie Gratinee
and Veal Forestiere.

Starters are modestly
priced ($4 to $7.50) and
include such simple classics as
French Onion Soup, Steamed
Mussels and Escargot
Nicoise.

Nothing too extravagant
from chef Chef Joseph
Lassaga, who was head chef
at Chez Michel from 1979 to
1989 before departing to
pursue a host of other dining
adventures.
