Thomas Laurent's Bistro

“A certain seriousness pervades the fryer at Thomas Laurent's Bistro. The shoestring fry arrives without ceremony, which is appropriate. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The grease situates itself conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. One proceeds. The fries are worth the journey to DUMBO. The fry alone merits the journey to DUMBO.”

“The menu at Thomas Laurent's Bistro contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The shoestring fry is single-fried in canola. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. The informed visitor is correct. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.”
