Luke Sung, who trained with some of the best French chefs in the city, has captured many locals' hearts by creating the kind of menu we foodies dream of: a smattering of small dishes, served a la carte family style, that allow you to try numerous items in one sitting. It's a good thing that the menu, considered "French tapas," offers small portions at reasonable prices. After all, it's asking a lot to make a diner choose from mushroom ragout with veal sweetbreads, seared foie gras with caramelized apples, potato-wrapped sea bass in brown butter, and rack of lamb. Here a party of two can choose all of these plus one or two more and not be rolled out the door afterward. Adding to the allure is the warm boutique dining environment -- 70 seats scattered amid a small dining room in the front, and a large tented and heated patio out back that sets the mood with a warm yellow glow. Take a peek at the "kitchen," a shoebox of a cooking space, to appreciate Sung's accomplishments even more. Cocktailers, take note: You'll find only beer, wine, and shoju cocktails (a smooth alcohol made from sweet potato and used like vodka).
