Patois Review

A very sweet setting in an old house on a residential street, and equally sweet, if not culinarily head-spinning food make this just a fine choice for a delightful Uptown meal or brunch, highlighting local seafood, produce, and cheese sources. Braised pork belly comes with scallops, while seasonal tuna carpaccio is topped with a ginger and orange-blossom vinaigrette. The grilled hanger steak, in a rich red-wine bone marrow reduction, is really quite excellent, while the roasted duck breast with a bacon-potato-apple hash is precisely done. Desserts show twists on standard local offerings; sample one or two.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
