Bistro146

Excellent friendly service at a nice local spot I had completely missed. The main courses were very tasty. Not overly spiced or too salty. Pasta was perfect. The drinks were perfect. The desserts were mixed. Their specialty desserts were great. Couple of the others didn't have a rich flavor. But will gladly come back for more. The only negative is parking. I went on a weekday when the restaurant was pretty empty and I literally got the very last parking space in the lot. Might be problematic on the weekend.

First let me start with the customer service: very friendly and considerate, they even helped me find parking when we we first got there. Then the food, delicious. The menu was diverse enough comprised of your usual classics that you can rely on, but also plenty of different other meals that would make you consider second guessing your order. A good wine and drink list with fair prices. I plan on coming here to eat again.

Bistro 146 - the Seafood Grille is a really pleasant surprise. It's a small place, but very comfortable and good for friends, family or a romantic dinner for two. The Chef/Owner Marcelo is a very friendly man, and a very talented chef! I was so impressed with my seafood appetizer I forgot to take a picture, and I'm kicking myself over it. It was a scallop, shrimp and lobster app. It came gorgeously plated on a rectangular plate. First were two perfectly cooked blackened scallop over a corn hash. The scallops were sweet, and the blackened spices had a kick to them. Next to that was an absolutely perfectly grilled jumbo shrimp on top of an avocado tomato hash. I'm still thinking about the flavor of that shrimp! And lastly, a perfectly succulent piece of lobster over a melted brie tart with a sauce that was just luxurious. I think this was the best appetizer I've ever had! My dining companions had the lobster bisque, which, according to them, they wanted to lick the bowl clean. For the main course (we were having lunch) I had filet mignon with grilled onions over Texas Toast topped with Gorgonzola cheese, and salad. The meat just melted in my mouth. The toast was perfect - still crispy even with the meat on it, and it had the perfect amount of cheese. My companion had the same thing, and the third person in our party had a salad of baby spinach, strawberries, mangos, seasoned nuts and goat cheese. Wow, was that good! The fruit tasted like it had just been picked, the baby spinach was perfectly fresh, and the goat cheese! Yum! We ordered a piece of key lime pie and three spoons - Graham cracker crumb crust, tart/sweet filling, toasted meringue on top - delicious. Then Marcelo brought out a chocolate chunk cookie cooked in a personal cast iron skillet, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and a strawberry cut like a rose with a candle in it, on the side, gratis, for my companion for her 82nd birthday. That cookie was absolutely decadent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes delicious food plated beautifully!
