No. 5: Moules Frites from Pistache
There's something about Pistache that just feels different from its
Clematis Street predecessors. It feels Parisian. It's bright and warm,
and the space
is broken up in a pleasant way. The sound reverberating off marble
floor tiles, silvered mirrors, and brass fixtures means you have to
raise your voice a little to be heard. All that makes it feel that much
more lively and urban, the kind of neighborhood place to gather with
friends over an order of moules frites. The wine-infused mussels are
fresh and flavorful. Meanwhile, the slender, buttery fries add a
starchy component -- and doesn't a good French fry just make everything
taste better?
