b is a simple but outstanding bistro. The ambiance is clean and unpretentious but also attractive and tasteful. You would feel comfortable eating in jeans here and also comfortable bringing your stuffy grandmother. (Not that my grandmother is stuffy; she is adorable and sweet.) Pastas are great; fish is great; desserts are great. Entrees are reasonably priced (entree cost: about $18-24) given the quality. Service is good too. They have outdoor seating as well. Really, I have nothing negative to say about the place.
