I'm part of a weekly Wednesday drinking group of 30 or so regulars who love to drink, geek out, talk and eat after work. We check out a different bar each week. We've been kicking around the city for 12 years. In that time we've visited several hundred bars (with repeats of faves). I'm a Francophile. I love Paris, the food, the people, the wine, the culture, the joie de vivre. Clandestino is a little slice of Paris exported to a small property on the edge of Chinatown. The owner of the restaurant, an expressive lady with guts and gusto, was seated at the bar one night. I'm glad I had the opportunity to thank her over and over again for a fabulous bar/bistro experience. This place is on the small size, but it's huge in character and good times.
Pros: Understated Atmosphere, Stylish and Simply Good
Cons: On the Small Size
