Oscar Night Chez Jacques

Profile

For those looking to be served more than draft beer during their Oscar night out, this brasserie is offering a full dinner of Moroccan-flecked French dishes with wine pairings. Though executive chef Manuel Morales has adapted some selections like chicken cigars with eau de vie�laced sauce from the bistro's regular menu, other options like a hearty beef short rib and puff pastry topped with wild mushrooms fricassee have been designed specifically for the event. The dining room's projector screen is another enticement. The red carpet outside (complete with paparazzi) is the icing on the cake. — Alexandra Vallis
