While the restaurant - with 140 seats in the dining room, an 18-seat bar, and a soon-to-come 60-seat patio - isn’t a straight-up reboot of Gaslight, some familiar faces are at the helm. The new restaurant takes its inspiration from the breezy brasseries in France with a menu that focuses on pared-back preparations of seasonal ingredients, along with more refined bistro touches and a French wine list. A ray of light after beloved French restaurant Gaslight bid adieu last November: Brasserie opens in the same space on May 6, bringing French fare back to this corner of SoWa (560 Harrison Ave., Boston).
