| - It was a busy night at the Bistro when I arrived to join some friends, fourteen of us. We had a reservation for 8:00pm but didn't get seated until closer to 8:45pm. My friends, however, were already having drinks and chatting, not minding the wait. They had ordered some appetizers, which arrived soon after we were seated.
It took a little while for our meals to arrive once we ordered. Again, we didn't mind too much because we were chatting and we could see how busy they were in the kitchen.
We started with calamari, saganaki, and an antipasto platter. Our mains included fish & chips, chicken souvlaki, BBQ ribs, beet salad, lobster ravioli, peppercorn burger, steak sandwich, and more. The portions were very generous and the presentation was nice. It looks like everybody enjoyed their food.
I chose a 10oz steak with roasted potatoes and a Caesar salad. While it was good, I would have preferred a hotter sear on the steak. I did have a small issue with the Caesar salad though. It really wasn't a Caesar salad. It was iceberg lettuce in a creamy sauce that was more like ranch. Not what I was expecting.
Overall, it was a nice evening out with friends. I'm sure most of them will be back since they live nearby.
