The BYO is also still doing its $30 four-course tasting Tuesday through Thursday (don't sleep on this as a Bastille Day option). This week, they're serving saucisson sec (classic French cured sausage) with cornichons, croutons and whole-grain mustard; crispy skate with haricot verts and a tomato-caper brown butter ("Let them eat skate!"); fresh pappardelle topped with rabbit/snail ragout and smoked bacon; and a mango sorbet in puffed pastry.
