Oakleys Bistro★ ★

The meticulously plated fare here hails from a culinary era when sprigs of herbs and puddles of purées and gastriques provided the flavor. Menu descriptions give clues as to what might arrive at the table, but heads-up on anything that appears in quotes, such as a deconstructed “Coq au Vin” that bears little resemblance to Julia Child’s version, or a “Pecan “Pie” that comes out in tater tot–sized components on a large white plate. Lunch and dinner Tues.–Sat.
