While walking my Jack Russell, I stumbled across a new place opening on 16th Street, where Steak Frites used to be. The glass doors read Cafe Society Cafe Society and CSNY. While the space has enough tables and seats for a full-fledged restaurant, the decor looks more like a modern bar/lounge. I didn’t see any menus and there are still guys working on the space but they told me the bar will be open tonight. Let me know if anyone checks it out.

The husband and I had dinner at Cafe Society last night. We frequently dined at the old Steak Frites and were curious to try CSNY. The footprint is the same, but the interior has been completely revamped. Gone is the worn but charming bistro and in it’s place a sleek new design. The new upholstered chairs are comfortable, but with some many cramped into the dining area, it’s very difficult to maneuver between tables.
The service was good, the menu (temporarily) limited and the prices have been increased considerably. I had the $25 scallop dish, which consisted of 3 little scallops on a bed of lemon risotto. There was a schmear of something on the plate that may have been plum sauce. I enjoyed it. And my husband enjoyed his little overpriced chicken with little morrels.
But I miss the old Steak Frites. We tried it in the new location and the menu has changed considerably as well. Oh well, C’Est la Vie!
Thanks for the heads up. I hate over-priced food!
