Bistro M -- I had to use a capital "B" to start a sentence, but it's really (maddingly) "bistro M" -- is the stylish spot inside the new Murray's Deli in Berwyn (575 Lancaster Ave, 610-644-1010).
The opening chef, Tim Olivett, didn't work out after two months or so. Bob and Gayle Teti have tapped Joseph Dougherty, former of Wilmington's Hotel Du Pont.
