Fodor's Expert Review Hoffman Lane Bistro

This sunny bistro is in an alley a bit more than a block from the Baseball Hall of Fame. You can eat lunch or dinner on the patio in summer or in the brightly painted dining rooms in winter (ask for a seat near the fireplace). The dinner menu includes a wide range of dishes, including sautéed mussels served in curry sauce and seared duck breast. Locals love the live music, which takes place most weekends, and the wine list.
