Clerys on Columbus

Not really a bistro, but a quiet area set off from the popular bar, with kind of brushed-up bar food, including excellent coconut shrimp, grilled shrimp, seared shrimp, and homemade pastas. The front windows open to the street in warm weather, so dress pretty and banter with the passing crowd.

Full review.

Price range for entrées: $9 - $15.
