Description:
The multiple award-winning Brasserie L'ecole occupies what was once a Chinese schoolhouse (hence the name), with 14-foot ceilings, dark woods, and warm red walls. It looks every inch the French brasserie, and has the food and wine to match. Chef Sean Brennan is something of a local celebrity. He uses primarily local produce and meats to create classic French dishes like duck confit, steak frites, beef bourguignon, roast trout in brown butter with lemon and sage, and butter-fried mussels with garlic and thyme. Co-owner Marc Morrison is a professional sommelier, so the wine list, while not lengthy, is certainly well rounded and interesting, and all but the sparkling wines are available by the glass. There's also a good selection of beers and fresh oysters.
