| - My husband and I went to Bistro Le Bon on Friday. We were seated with no wait. The decor is luxe and glamorous, more so than one would expect from a strip mall restaurant. We ordered four tapas plates. The first to arrive was crispy asparagus and avocado, encased in a fried spring roll which was light and not greasy. It was accompanied by a sweet chili sauce. Next, we were served a trio of dips: plain hummus, smoked eggplant and olive hummus with crackers. The plain hummus was very lemony in almost a sweet way, reminding me of lemon frosting. The olive hummus had full-on olive favor and the smoked eggplant was nothing like I had ever tasted before, in a good way. Next, my husband ate grilled octopus. He raved about the sauce, but said the octopus did not have much flavor by itself. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the fried cheese. Wonderful! After all, it was cheese! Cozy ambiance, good service and excellent cuisine guarantee a return.
