French Bistro in a few blocks from our house - amazing atmosphere, roof top dining and delicious food. Look for classic, time-honored French dishes as well as modern adaptations. This is one of two of Scott Crawford's restaurants in our neighborhood, a James Beard semi-finalist. Check out his other restaurant, Crawford and Son right next door. Reservations highly recommended for both. This is in the Person Street District, a 4-block (10 min) walk from our house.
