Description

A fascinating French wine list is just one of the lures that might draw you, fish-like, to this neighborhood bistro, just one stop into Queens on the 7 train. An excellent bottle of Cahors washed down appetizers of pruney foie gras terrine, sautéed calamari curiously sided with diced beets, and specials like a beef-cheek ravioli; then we proceeded to a monkfish brochette, beef cheeks in dark gravy, and a duck-breast-and-leg combo hobbled somewhat by fresh pineapple. Though not everything swam, we conferred upon Tournesol a solid B for food and an A for ambience.
