| - On the plus side: decor and ambience are perfect for a bistro, and after a big initial hiccup, the service was excellent. My guest was very pleased with her order, so that was a plus.
The negative: they have to focus on execution. We ordered the seafood special (grilled salmon, shrimp, calamari trio), and it was simply not very good. The portion of salmon was small, and 1 piece was still raw in the middle. The calamari was rubbery and tasted like it was previously frozen. The menu advertised a 'spinach-potato quiche', which was just mashed potatoes. For $24, I expected a lot more.
My pasta order was decent, but definitely nothing to rave about. The fantastic sauce didn't mask very overcooked chicken and sausage, which was a shame.
The other issue was the wait for service. It appeared that our server was doubling as the bartender, which makes no sense for a restaurant of this size. We finally had to go order our food from her at the bar after waiting for 15 minutes after she delivered our drink order.
I wouldn't rule out another visit, but I would definitely order something else that (hopefully) delivered better value.
