Over the years, the food at Bistro Jeanty has never disappointed me. I have had quenelles in 3 restaurants in Lyon, France, and I could swear that BJ's were lighter and the flavor of the lobster cream sauce more intense. The lamb tongue salad and the smelts are also dishes I look forward to and find it difficult to pass up. Unchanging menu, but that is fine by me, provided the specials continue to mix it up a bit. This is, as far as I know, the only restaurant that serves wine (and good wine) by the carafe. Pity more places don't. Only complaint: noisy and uncomfortable chairs.
Pros: consistent quality, good wine by carafe, quenelles
Cons: noisy diners, flimsy seats
