Indulge is a warm, happy house, with a curtained dining room, a marble-topped dwarf bar and what look like furnishings from a Normandy farmhouse restaurant unloaded into an abandoned Italian trattoria – which this space used to be. Chef/owner William Wahl's family runs a restaurant in France, Au Vrai Normand, and after a stint with Kevin Taylor, Wahl and his wife decided it was finally time for a place of their own. The menu they’ve assembled is a beautiful, overwhelmingly delicious board of straight French classics and American iterations, all approached with perfect French technique.

    No matter how many bodies you pack inside, some restaurants are always going to be as cold and sterile as a surgical pre-op, where voices seem to evaporate into wisps of cold before they can travel across the length of a table. But there are also restaurants that miraculously exude warmth and life and comfort no matter the condition of the floor. These are the rare ones, as extraordinary as real magic, where the house — despite a lack of trade, of buzz, of superficial action — subsists on a sort of rich inner life, a passion that flows outward from the kitchen, through the bar, to suffuse even just a few tables, even just one, with the sense that everything is going to be all right, despite all evidence to the contrary. Indulge French Bistro is just such a magical place, a wonderful Normandy French restaurant that serves amazing steak tartare, beautiful salmon with leek fondue, and the best duck we've ever tasted.
