My friends & I dined here last weekend for Big Taste. I had never heard of them, but the menu looked delicious so we gave it a shot.
I LOVED the atmosphere here. Small & intimate, with low lighting and candlelit tables, I felt it had a super romantic ambiance, and would be a great place to bring a date, split a bottle of wine, and people watch. Our server was friendly and prompt - I ordered a glass of rose while the rest of our group stuck with water, which was never left unattended.
For our starters, I had the tuna "nicoise" which was delicious, but I wish it included more than 1 tiny quail egg. However, the tuna itself was excellent and I LOVED the olive tapenade underneath. My main was the Mushroom Fettuccine, which fell a little flat. The sauce was bland and not mixed well, and the pasta itself was very oily. My fiance ordered the Charcute Garni, which was basically pork loin, pork belly, and sausage, which didn't look very appealing, and honestly didn't taste that great. I had a bite of my friends Lamb Meatloaf, which was wrapped in bacon and tasted good, but the texture was off, a little too much like dog food for me. The Steak Frites were great and I LOVED the truffle aoli that came with the fries. Overall, I was a little disappointed with our mains, but thank goodness dessert saved the day! I had the butterscotch pudding with chocolate and salted caramel, it was soooo delicious I completely forgot about my main. We all tasted a little bit of each others and all of the desserts were fantastic. For $35 each, it was nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about.
It was great to try out a new spot, but I don't think I'll return to Bistro 2210 for food. I would definitely go back for the location and ambiance alone, but only for drinks.
