Love love love this place. Living in south Tempe the last 2 years, it is so refreshing to finally have a locally owned bistro in town. We went in early on a Saturday night... Service was great, atmosphere was really nice. We sat in the super comfy chairs in the lounge. We each enjoyed a glass of wine. Our server was underage so he couldn't really recommend anything but the bartender came out and let us sample several things until we found one we liked.
To eat, we each started off with salads. I had the beet salad and hubby had the roasted pear. I don't usually eat cheese or dressing so ordered both on the side so he could taste. To my surprise the goat cheese was slightly fried and the dressing was light and delicious so I indulged in both. For dinner my husband had the elk shank and I had their special, the venison tenderloin. We were both super impressed. My husband even tried the bone marrow for the first time. Interesting texture, but it was yummy was very yummy. And for dessert, of course we had to have the pecan pie. So great without being too super sweet... And the crust was buttery and delicious. We also had the daily homemade ice cream, apple made with coconut milk.
Overall experience was better than expected and I can't wait to go back.
So so so excited to have a new local treat!
