I'll admit it- I loathe new and crave things in my life that are old. I would NEVER live in a new house or apartment building, I buy vintage clothes with some new pieces thrown in here and there, and I don't like the sterile atmosphere of most new restaurants. And then I found Anisette. The second I walked in I felt transported to another time, when people built things to last and real craftsmen made them. I sat at the seemingly endless Zinc bar the first time and had a strong americano and a pain au chocolat, so buttery and delicious I actually felt guilty. The next time I came was for dinner and had a bowl of beef daube that changed my life. It was incredible! One of the managers actually recognized me from a few days before and came over to greet our table and welcome me back- I felt like a VIP! I've since become a regular and have very little complaints about service or the food (once too my fries weren't quite right, and if you don't have a reservation for dinner the wait for walk in's is not pretty). Food wise, here is what I recommend(and what I've tried):
Pros: Real Simple Perfect Brasserie Food, Atmosphere, Ambience, Croissants!!!
Cons: Not great for a walk in dinner place- reservations needed.
