As a full time traveler, I eat at a lot of restaurants so it takes something truly special to earn a five-star rating in my book. Bliss/reBAR did just that today. The crowd spilling out on the sidewalk, on a Sunday afternoon, was our first clue the restaurant would be good. A friendly staff greeted us at the door and seated us immediately.\n\nThe menu looked like comfort food gone wild. Everything was tempting so choosing was difficult. Thanks to Jim, our exceptionally helpful waiter, we selected two of the house specialties and split them between us -- we were both hungry and still couldn't finish everything. We had the Mac n Cheese, with Chicken and Bacon and also Mama's Pot Roast dinner. \n\nThe pot roast was exceptionally tender and served over a flavorful cauliflower mashed; this was accompanied by done-just-perfect asparagus. The mac n cheese was out of this world. Unlike most we've tried, the cheese in this dish was ultra light and creamy. Adding a generous portion of chicken (and just enough bacon) made this dish a real delight. Add in a fabulous mimosa deal on Sunday and this meal was perfect.\n\nAlthough we're only in the Valley for a few months, we'll be heading back to Bliss/reBAR often (and bringing our friends as well!). We learned from Chef Eric they make their own cheese sause for the mac n cheese...perhaps he'll share that recipe with us on our next visit!
