At Le Grand Bistro and Oyster Bar, Robert Thompson’s new French restaurant near the convention center and the subject of my review this week, the bar was the place to be.

But while I wasn’t as enamored of the dining room, I had little to complain about when it came to the food, a board of solid, soul-warming bistro fare best consumed with a glass of French wine.
