Kansu and his wife, Didem, redecorated the three ground-floor dining rooms with soft yellow paint on the walls, burgundy fabric for the drapes and fresh art all around. "This is just the beginning," says the owner. In the weeks to come, he plans to freshen up the outdoor patio and transform a room off the entrance into a cocktail lounge. And a forthcoming convection oven will translate to souffles on the dessert menu.

Young women dressed in elegant evening gowns with their prom dates in smart tuxedos sat at four tables in one of [La Rue 123]'s cozy front dining rooms. The menu they feasted from, in part, included lobster bisque; organic salmon with black olive sauce; New York strip steak with peppercorn sauce; boneless free-range chicken with red wine sauce; and apple tart and chocolate mousse for dessert.

"We want La Rue 123 to be our customers' favorite restaurant," said owner Huseyin Kansu.
