Summary: Quaint French-inspired spot with natural wines.

With a focus on natural wines and French-inspired seafood, L'Oursin boasts a unique cocktail program and a warm ambiance. The space is designed with a French brasserie feel, featuring wooden banquettes and yellow lighting, creating an inviting and intimate dining experience. The menu, although concise, is rich with fresh dishes like albacore tartare and poached Arctic char, each illustrated with charming line drawings. Desserts stay true to French tradition, offering options such as a cheese plate or quince tarte Tatin. The bar shines with its selection of over 60 brandies and a cocktail list presented as a Paris transit map, complete with stories for each drink. While the wine list emphasizes natural, organic, and biodynamic choices, the cocktails focus on European spirits and low-octane apéritifs, ensuring there's something for everyone at this East Jefferson Street gem.
