| - This restaurant has taken the location of what was once known as Main Street Bistro.
The interior of the restaurant has received an update; its much more contemporary now, but it's still a small restaurant. I will admit, it's a nice ambiance.
The menu is pretty small, but what they do, I think they do ok. We had the chorizo sausage to start. It was a nice presentation of one hefty sausage that was flaming while at the table. Pretty cool presentation. I had the fillet of something. It was tasty, but as you can tell, not that memorable. My dinner partner had the whole fish. I must say, it's pretty remarkable to see a whole grilled fish on a plate. However, while the server said it was a bass, when it was present to us, we didn't think that it looked like a bass. It too was tasty, the fish was moist and piping hot. But the potatoes served with it seemed pre-made and sad as a side dish. They were perfectly melon-ball sized...maybe a little too perfect to be made fresh?
We went on a Friday night the restaurant was relatively full all night, with only 1 or 2 tables empty that I saw. So while a good thing that it was busy, the service was as slow as molasses. There was 1 server who was quite nice, however pretty disorganized. It could be due to a lack of experience? There was 1 busboy who didn't seem to know how to set a table and then the bartender/jack-of-all trades who ran the front shop. The restaurant isn't big and you'd be hard pressed to not catch someone's eye if you needed anything, but for some reason, it was tough. We didn't just want to call across the restaurant for the bill so we waited for a cool 20 min after our dessert plates were cleared before anyone came to check if we needed anything else or wanted the bill.
While the food was good, portion sizes just right, yet I feel the prices were expensive, and the service was way slow.
