Le Solstice

Le Solstice is Le Yule's table, and it has the rare advantage of working at both services: you lunch on the terraces when the sun is out, you dine indoors when it is not. The menu is a French brasserie reread by the chef (meats, fish, salads, pasta, a few unapologetic classics) with a selection of meats worth pausing over and a serious wine list. It is the address I give when the group agrees on nothing: everyone finds something, and you leave on time.
