This eatery is furnished with dark wood cast-offs from the old Ambassador Hotel. That sets the tone for this new-but-old bistro. The old Bjian was once a celeb magnet. That’s no longer the case, but the solid menu of burgers, half chicken and cobb salad is as pleasing as watching your favorite black-and-white movie on late-night tv. Speaking of late night, one of Bijan’s strengths is a kitchen that stays open into the wee hours.
