Brasserie 360 (CLOSED)

The space was once home to two neighborhood staples, Yellowfinger’s and Contrapunto, and the combined acreage is so vast that you can usually waltz in off the street and snag a table anytime. The atmosphere is cheerful and casual; big mirrors and framed posters hang on the walls; and ceiling fans whir overhead. The food is even better than one would expect. A perfectly cooked giant porterhouse is accompanied by better-than-average fries, and the salmon, roasted chicken and salads are beautifully done.
