Esme

Venture through the sleek dining room at this neighborhood-favorite bistro, and the back of the restaurant opens up to a gorgeous backyard. Canopies overhead create an airy feel while saving you from some of the sun no matter what the season, and vines and other greenery surrounding each table adds to the garden vibe. The backyard seating area at Esme is available for brunch and dinner services, where chef Adam Volk serves classic dishes along with seasonal spins on French bistro fare.
