Very loud when full: tables are less than a chair space apart so no conversation will be private.
No liquor license: Beer, Seltzers, wine substitutes, canned mixed drinks. Ensure people know they are not ordering a grocery store wine..regardless of what it says on the bottle. For the canned mixed drinks....serve the whole can.
Bread: 3rd bread change. The first bread basket was PHENOMENAL. Then, they changed to huge chunks of yeast bread. Now a small hot crossed bun type roll which would probably be delicious warm, but its flavorless served cold with cold butter that won't spread. Some ppl will eat bread no matter what. Heat the rolls, make sure the butter is spreadable i.e. room temperature.
Food: Scallops are, of course, not fresh. As far as frozen goes, they are cooked well. Personally, not for me $28 1.) price point 2.) frozen scallops with a mound of pasta. Originally had 5 or 6 scallops. now it think its 3. For the price point vegetable side, a salad, veggie and a salad....something other than $1 mountain of pasta.
Burger has a great flavor, single patty $14 for $3 more you get 2 patties. I don't want 2 patties. If tomato, pickle, and shredded lettuce are the other 11$. Make the single burger perfect! I want an excellent quality tomato slice, real lettuce v shredded lettuce, 4 or 5 pickles and seal the deal - butter and toast the bun..again super flavor, juicy!
Without fail, we order the Caesar Salad because it was divine. The dressing made it. This time, I almost didn't eat it. Dressing was thin, watery, and romaine not coated. Maybe the romaine wasn't dried after rinsing....so run off water diluted dressing. Not for me to say, all I know is it was watery and I was not happy. Point is, the server or prep person-someone between prep plating the salad and it getting to me- should have noticed it was different. Unless, it was intentional diluting of dressing. IDK.
Filet- friend loved it - 8oz Filet and small side of hot salad
Pork Chop - friend loved it seasoned so well huge. potatoes and corn
Chicken Piccata - friend loved it piece of chicken and plate of pasta
Tallulah Belle - cake is very coarse, not moist actually hard and dry. Ordered it once before but forgot we did not like it at all.
Chocolate strawberry mousse - described as mix between mousse and custard. Thinking creme brulee right maybe lighter whippier... No, it was neither. It had beautiful cocoa flavor but it was hard...not at all a mousse nor custard. It was solid. I asked in advance to make sure of what I was getting and still was surprised with something I didn't want.
Have had many other things that I believe I reviewed already. Personally, for me going to dinner with the ladies...I will decline in the future. The salad put the nail in the coffin for me. If I cant depend on the food being consistent, I will not return. I don't want to return food when I get there I'm hungry ready to enjoy a great meal that I am going to pay premium for and I am not going to eat and pay premium prices for randomly subpar food. At the Bistros price point, entire dining experience should be commensurate.
Take reservations for any # of people. BSL peeps like a reservation - we plan our dinners, show up on time, and want a table when we arrive.
