Located in the kits area with a high density of restaurants, Bistrot Bistro positions itself as a homestyle french restaurant with reasonable pricing. Given the caliber of other mainstays in this area, Bistrot has a strong customer base. On a weekday night this restaurant is not too busy during dinner hour, but we see more and more people arrive later in the evening.
Escargots butter garlic - strong garlic and butter sauce. Appetizer portion is reasonable, but the butter sauce is too heavy for our taste.
side salad : standard fair. All sides have to be ordered separately.
Shrimps scallops Provencal : Scallops are tender, shrimp is cooked perfectly. Butter sauce does overwhelm the seafood.
Halibut tomato broth : Light tomato broth complements the tender halibut. We loved the slight acidity of the tomato as it brings out the freshness of the fish.
Ratatouille : Divine vegetable side consisting of peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes, slow cooked in their own juices. We highly recommend this as a side to any of the dishes.
Our Verdict:
- Location: Prime location in kits area. Mostly paid parking unless you are lucky.
- Price: Affordable pricing compared to other French fine dining restaurants in the area. Around $25-35 per person. They also offer a $27 3 course dinner. Expensive compared to other cuisines in the same area.
- Designed for sharing. Most dishes are complemented by their fresh french bread and a glass of wine.
- This Restaurant definitely caters to the more casual french dining crowd. Unpretentious French food at affordable prices.
