Randall & Aubin

The inclusion of this elegant Anglo/French hot spot brasserie owes as much to its Sohocentric location and good quality as to the memory of its previous incarnation as a visually appealing olde-worlde food store/pantry/butchers. Dangling above it all are 18th-century chandeliers from Paris and a generously sized disco ball. The extensive menu includes a sea of fish classics, rotisserie items, steak and a burger. Cocktails and bubbly are also a major thing here. Opened 1996. A 45-second walk from Old Compton  St.
