Bandol Bistro: It’s all about the romance, baby. In the spirit of the charming seaside town in Provence, France, Bandol Bistro is a little piece of Mediterranean heaven on the Upper East Side. Trellises strung with twinkling lights greet guests outside, while long, gauzy white drapes float from the tops of the windows to the floor in the snug dining room. The seafood-filled menu is magnifique and the wine list is long; if you don’t speak French, have your ex-patriate server offer her suggestions. Even if your date can’t make good conversation, listening to your server will be mildly entertaining. Good date or bad, you’re sure to fall in love with Bandol’s Prix Fixe Mondays: An appetizer, entrée, dessert, or glass of house wine goes for just $25. |
