Awesome place to go for brunch in Distillery District. Best to call ahead to book a reservation, but the restaurant is large so often you can get lucky with a walk-in. Great French-inspired cooking, pastries, and coffee. They also have a small bakery/cafe at the front if you're just passing through.
