Photos: Le Grand Bistro and Oyster Bar

Mark Manger

At Le Grand Bistro and Oyster Bar, Robert Thompson's new French restaurant near the convention center and the subject of my review this week, the bar was the place to be. That dark wooden counter was my favorite place to match fat sausages to Alsatian Riesing, oysters to Muscadet, or cocktails to more cocktails. But while I wasn't as enamored of the dining room, I had little to complain about when it came to the food, a board of solid, soul-warming bistro fare best consumed with a glass of French wine.

Here, to go with the review, are a few photos. To see more of Le Grand, check out our slide show.
