The city’s body-obsessed residents consider designer water and radicchio salad an elegant dinner; those who do eat flock to places like Spago, with its flamboyant decor and its smoked-salmon pizza. But everything about Bastide whispers subtlety, from the earth-toned river pebbles on the patio floor to the flax-colored table linens....
