Jasmine Bistro

From the outside it may seem to be more fine dining (not dress up fine dining, but you know that in the middle). In some degrees it is, but others not so much. The walls are like a rose pink color and the decor is a mixture of fake Renoir paintings and real photos of the owner and family and the owner and patrons. It's small, with maybe 7 tables. The menu is split between the Hungarian options, French options, Middle Eastern options, and a few Asian options. The addition of the Middle Eastern options may have been because the owner is from Baluchistan (in western Pakistan). He apprenticed in swank Parisian restaurants, and cheffed at Boston's late, beloved Cafe Budapest before opening his own place. This truly is a family-run place, the owner's sons having assumed most cooking and serving duties. The descriptions of the food are quite detailed. Each item is skillfully prepared with great attention to detail. They offer great vegetarian Hungarian options (paprika, spetzel, veggies), which are very, very good.
