Mino Brasserie recently opened on West 12th St. and is apparently quite popular. I would describe the food as somewhat updated traditional French. We liked everything we ate very much.

The dishes we tried were:

Oysters

Onion soup

Cod fillet with ratatouille on a tomato coulis

Braised lamb shank (a daily special)

Lemon tart

The markup on wines is on the high side, but there were some good choices in the $50 to $70 range. We chose a 2015 Bandol for $68, which I consider a pretty good price for a Bandol.

Service was excellent. The maitre d’ was very attentive, and gave us glasses of champagne at the end of the meal, a nice touch that rarely happens these days.
