Calliope

Calliope
Another LES option, Calliope appears to be a traditional, neighborhood bistro, but it is actually so much more. With an emphasis on European farmhouse food and a menu that is a few steps above standard choices, Calliope is in a category all its own. Whether you choose the Chicken Paillard or the Newport Steak, rest assured knowing that your meal is locally grown; Calliope partners with a variety of nearby farms. The nature loving vibe is reflected in the atmosphere as well; there are plenty of plants and flowers decorating each table and ample outdoor seating for summer dates al fresco.
