Persimmon velvet curtains floor to ceiling set the mood before you've ordered a thing. This is a small, elegant French bistro in Clayton, forty seats, bone china, a pink banquette, the kind of room that makes you sit up a little straighter without resenting it. The menu keeps things focused: gougères, savory financiers, a short list of entrées. The fried chicken cordon bleu is the kitchen winking at Missouri while keeping one foot firmly in France.
