My first visit here went so well that I can't even prepare myself for it to be anything less on future visits.
The location is convenient to most of my travels, but I never seemed to have the time to step inside to try it out.
Thanks to a trip into the city for a concert, I was able to plan some extra time to stop here for a pre-concert dinner and drinks.
Our entrance into the restaurant was met with a prompt and genuine greeting by the hostess. We mentioned that this was our first visit and she welcomed us, and offered several different seating options. I was very surprised to see how large the dining areas were and that they had multiple rooms to choose from.
Once seated, a cheery server came over to greet us and informed us of the drink and dinner specials for the evening. In addition to their great sounding specials, we were also told that most all of their appetizer and flatbreads were half-off and they were offering various drink promotions during happy hour.
The appetizer and flatbread menu included many wonderful selections to try at a discount. We placed our order and while we were waiting we were given a serving of their delicious oven-warmed bread and a dipping blend of seasoned olive oil.
Our order arrived within a sufficient amount of time, and everything looked great. Our only concern was that the portions were quite generous and we might have over-ordered and would need to pack most of it to go. We managed to sample a little of everything and had plenty left for another meal.
Based on my first visit, Roman Bistro is a place I would visit again and again.
