It's like watching the restaurant cycle of life come full circle. La Colline passes on, Johnny's Half Shell opens in its place Monday, and the new French-flavored Montsouris fills Johnny's space just days later.
Assuming a few loose ends are tied up by dinner time, Montsouris is planning to open its doors tonight. On the menu: butcher steak with mashed potatoes, pâté served in its own jar, steak tartar, steamed mussels, veal t-bone, pork chops, duck confit, and, bien sur, frites. For dessert, there's pistachio custard, apple tatin and rice pudding. First courses, like frisée salad with bacon, range in price from about $6.50 to $11. Entrées run $17 to $23.50.
The wine list features small vineyards from France, as well as selections from Italy and the United States.
