| - Have seen reviews but never been-always looking for a great quality bistro that avoids the tourists and the strip area. Dined on Saturday eve and the restaurant was busy but not crowded-noticed several groups of at least 6 people, and with the low ceiling and strip center size, I thought the noise level was high for easy conversation. We noticed that Todds has vegan and vegetarian option designations on the menu, however there were no entrees or salad/appetizer items that were offered that evening. With a vegan diner, we informed the waitress to see what could be worked out. Looked dicey at first as the only option was essentially a vegetable box, but she spoke with Todd and came back with a vegan mushroom risotto option and salad option that worked well and were very well prepared. Spinach salad, Rare Ahi Tuna, a classic martini, and a surprise birthday treat for me were all very good-my only quibble is that the sauce with the Tuna was very salty to my tongue, however I am not a "salter" in general so perhaps others would not find it so. I enjoy highly spiced or flavored, but this was perhaps too heavy on the soy. Portions are moderate, and the prices are fair-I do feel the entrees were expensive for the suburbs and portion size at $27, however the other ala carte items seemed more in line. Service was excellent and décor comfortable. Would love to come back and try some other fish options as well prepared fish is always a treat.
