White lace curtains, green and white tile flooring, frosted glass sconces and the Paris street mural over the bar give the dining room warmth and charm. Burgundy native Jean Claude Poilevey, who owns the place with his wife, Suzanne, serves simple and flavorful French country dishes. You might spot mystery writer Sara Paretsky or actress Joan Cusack, who are regulars.
