There's a Little Italy vibe to Mar Mikhaël and this place slots right in, with its Chianti and prosciutto in an atmospheric faux-vaulted stone chamber, though the Chat Noir painted on the wall is a little off-message. It's a nice scene that gets lively as the evening goes on, with 30-somethings dancing in the restricted space to upbeat Eurotrash sounds from the DJ.
