Bistro Lafayette is a good option for traditional French bistro food. I go at lunch for their 3-course $16.95 fixed price menu ... choice of salad, soup of the day, or pate (unless the soup is french onion, i choose the pate)... choice of entree (i always pick the beef burgonogne), and choice of dessert.
Don't expect anything creative -- just good examples of classic dishes without additional creativity.
