text: My hubby & I decided to dine @ the Bistro for our anniversary. We had never been there before and weren't sure what to expect. The outside of the building seems kinda cool. We walked inside and I wasn't inspired by the large velvet/velour curtains. We were sat at an uninspiring square table right next to the aisles. Our waiter was kind but not very pleasant. I ordered a Riesling. It was a wee bit sour. I ordered Insalata Pomadora...it was AMAZING. I also ordered Capallini Pomodora (w/ pesto grilled chicken-ala carte)...also AMAZING. My hubby ordered Insalata Casa-however, he preferred my salad & Chicken Parm~ he loved that. Now, The food was pretty much amazing.  There was a 'lovely' ancient basement smell to the place. The linens were LESS than fresh. They smelled like they were stored in an old ancient basement. WE felt no need or reason to hang around. The piano player was \"eh\"... The waiter rarely spoke to us... But did his job. Maybe if he knew it was our anniversary we would have gotten a better table or something that would have made me decide to give another star.
