RJ and Jerrod Melman, the brothers behind Hub 51, and acclaimed chef Jean Joho opened this modern French eatery in the River North space most recently occupied by Brasserie Jo. Former Brasserie Jo executive chef Tim Graham will head up the kitchen here too, with assists from Lettuce Entertain You chefs Walter Manzke and Doug Psaltis (the concept, like Brasserie Jo before it, remains in the Lettuce family). The goal is clear: Make French food approachable for a new generation of diners. There are plenty of traditional entrees, but you can easily make meal out items from the charcuterie, raw bar or small plate sections of the menu, featuring options such as duck cracklings, puff pastry-wrapped escargot, tuna tartare or French onion fondue. Main courses range from skate wing with capers and lemon to duck confit with candied cherries to traditional French bistro classic of steak frites. Want to really impress your date? Look to the "luxury" corner of the menu, which features $40 Maine lobster frites and Ossetra caviar service for a cool $100. To drink, try the affordable house wine on tap or bubbly cocktails such as the French 59, a mix of St. Germain elderflower liqueur, mandarin orange liqueur and sparkling wine. Upon the second floor, check out indoor-outdoor cocktail lounge Studio Paris, complete with a retractable roof.
