Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Duncan Ly

From the OpenTable editors: Bar Chouette lives up to its name - a French slang word for “cool” - with its buzzy vibe and killer cocktails. Chef Duncan Ly plays with French flavors and seasonal ingredients in dishes like hanger steak tartare with charcoal tapioca crackers. The drink menu shines just as brightly, offering riffs on staple sippers, like a rosemary brown butter old-fashioned.

Amazing food and a nice space on a warm day. Service was just ok but I got the sense the server was quite new at the job. She was attentive but forgot a few items we asked for. That being said given how good the food was we really didn’t care! Nice wine selection as well
