If you sometimes perceive a surfeit of Italian restaurants in Rhode Island, you're not alone. Don't get me wrong. I love Italian food. It would be nice, though, if we had something like one of N4N's all-time favorite restaurants, the East Coast Grill in Cambridge.
That said, there's a pleasant boomlet of French-inspired restaurants in the Capital City, including Bravo Brasserie, Red Stripe, and Mike Sears's new place, not to mention such venerable outposts as Chez Pascal, Rue de l'Espoir, and Pot Au Feu.
N4N was reminded of just how good Bravo is during a dinner this week, and Johnette Rodriguez happens to have a review of the same establishment in this week's Phoenix.
