Alberta

This bistro's intimate yet open dining room looks out onto oak-shaded Magazine Street, like a salon for a well-heeled Uptown crowd. Contemporary takes on American comfort foods dominate nightly offerings such as sweetbreads in a roasted garlic Marsala sauce, mussels scented with saffron and roasted chicken served with braised greens and sausage-spiked chorizo vinaigrette. Save room for the popular chocolate caramel tart with orange-ginger ice cream.
