B.Y.O.W. Restaurant Review

This restaurant's name stands for "Bring Your Own Wine," a concept that has evolved into a popular dining establishment offering a sophisticated menu and exceptional prices. A palm tree snakes its way through the thatched roof that rises above the salmon-colored adobe walls. From the kitchen, such classics as escargots Provençales emerge, as well as inimitable pastas such as a carbonara with a splash of Amaretto. Guests brag about the filet mignon au poivre with caramelized onions and mashed potatoes. Chill with the soothing CDs as you move on to crepes with bitter orange and Grand Marnier confit. Breakfast is also very popular here, notably the yogurt parfaits and frittatas, and served every day. Brand-new is the afternoon teatime menu: coffee or tea with scones and clotted cream or, say, house-made tiramisu or chocolate mousse.
