| - The moment I walked into this bistro, I knew the cooking would be good because it simply smelled like Europe. And in a day when all of the good restaurants are owned by restaurant groups with larger than life marketing visions, it was incredibly refreshing to be in a quiet, authentic bistro atmosphere owned by a couple. It was hard to select from the menu, as everything sounded good. For those like me that love French food but aren't necessarily into frogs legs or snail, there's plenty to select from. Although they have those things too. The food exceeded my every expectation. I started with the "cheese and crackers" as an appetizer which was an elegant wood plate of French cheeses, meat, and crostini. I paired that with a Chardonnay which was delicious. If you love French wine as much as I do, you will love their huge French wine by the glass or bottle menu. For dinner, I had the lamb which was as tender as a filet mignon. Lamb is so hard to get right, and they nail it. I've never had such tender lamb, it was actually a little red in the middle. I am one of those people that never finishes her dinner but I gobbled this up lickety split. I had a red wine with the meal which brought out the flavors even more. For dessert, I had to try their creme brulee which of course, was amazing. And I had an espresso which was slightly creamy even though I didn't add cream. Yum. If you are looking for an authentic French dinner in a true bistro setting, you have to go to Viola! French Bistro and Wine.
