Easy Bistro

Tonight was our second visit to the Bistro...the first was a birthday dinner without Baby, but tonight was the 3 of us plus a good friend recently moved back to town. I didn't get any pics tonight, but dinner was fantastic.

We adults started with cocktails, the boys with a Chattanooga whiskey, some aromatics, and bitters- they were a nice start. We also shared a fig mostardo and mozzarella app...this was a server recommendation and it came off fresh and light and a good way to ease into dinner.

For the entrees, we chose a bottle of a Super Tuscan. The wine list seemed a little pricey, with the least expensive bottles starting in the $30s...so the bottle we tool was a little expensive, but it was a very inoffensive red.

My special lady friend ordered a potato ravioli with some seasonal veggies. The boys both chose the steak frites- they serve the beef sliced and with some chilled herb butter.

The service was impressive. Often, when you are among the first seatings of the evening, you get the sense that the kitchen and wait staff aren't quite "on" yet, but the team tonight was top notch.

I'm not a dessert guy, but my dinner companions ARE. We had profiteroles, a pot de creme, and some coffee drinks (the beans sourced from Chattz down the street).

All told, it was a wonderful time, but at a price point that will prevent super frequent returns.
