Guests will be able to enjoy Eric’s favorite French staples including Croque-Madame, Boeuf Bourguinon, Gratinée à L’Oignon, and Poulet Sauce Suprême aux Champignons, smaller bites like the classic Rillette de Canard, Salade Niçoise, and the Traditional Alsatian Quiche; as well as a variety of signature coffees, teas, and fresh juices.

This is crazy, a reader reports on Saturday:
“Another casualty on 19th St between K and L. They’re packing it up today.”
This Bold Bite only opened back in October. This space is also formerly home to a Red Robin and Boloco burritos.
A call to the store immediately goes to a “user not available” message. The location is still listed on their website. Did anyone happen to notice if they were open this morning?
STAY TUNED.
