Well, we finally got in. Tried last Friday
and it was over hour + wait so we left.
I gave this a 3, it was closer to a 3.5, it
is not quite a 4. They need fine tuning.
This place is very small, it's pretty loud,
& not as elegant as Bistro Eleven Sixty.
(Same food, same owner, new location)
Note: Would not seat you until entire
party was at the door, and available.
There was 3 of us. My wife, My MIL, &
myself. With tip it averaged $60 each.
(The experience was slow. Like 2 hrs)
The bread is fantastic, and super hot.
(Yeast Rolls, with Olive Oil and Pesto)
We did have an appetizer, it was the
whipped ricotta. Not as good as we
had remembered, but not bad either.
Wife had two Apple Martinis so factor
that into the overall cost. (Said good)
Side salads chosen was Grilled Caesar
if you know you know. Flat Iron made
this an art form. However, ours was
just ok. (They were super busy, and
none of the three were grilled nicely)
My wife had the Halibut, she said this
was cooked perfectly, and very light. It
was presented on bed of pasta. While
she sad it was nice, Risotto would of
been a much better combo. It came
with choice of salads. She had grilled.
My MIL had the Pasta Carbonara, she
said it was just ok. Not a lot of sauce,
so it was a little dry. Would preferred
this option adding Chicken. Did not
ask, so not sure if that could happen.
She also and the grilled Caesar salad.
I had the Peasant Pasta, the portions
were very large like my MIL's, so had
plenty of leftovers. This was fantastic,
if I was to make any adjustments, the
mustard taste was a little strong. So
it had little bit of a bite, but not spicy.
No room for dessert, so nothing tried.
Would I come back? Yes this was very
lengthy review, and I'm sure if reading
it all you might be wondering. Possibly,
since we loved it as Bistro Eleven Sixty.
As I said above, it needs some tuning,
but Vicari is superior option currently. read more
