Description

Soulard nightlife fixture Molly's has turned its former next-door neighbor Norton's into a bistro, with a Creole-influenced menu developed by chef Eric Brenner of Moxy. As at Moxy, the best dishes at Molly's are thoughtful but unpretentious - simply put: good food. Consider the duck breast in a light, sweet apricot-bourbon sauce or the tremendous Berkshire pork chop in an apple-brandy demiglace. Because this is a bistro, steak is available: filet or the less tender but often tastier hanger cut. The latter is topped with a poached egg - a nifty twist on the classic steak-and-egg pairing. Appetizers include "Etouffée Lasagna" with crawfish and andouille, and seared scallops with red beans and rice.
