Pastiche Modern Eatery

I ordered the special for the evening, a delicious plate of chili relleno. Food was great, but service was slow and the table wasn't set for four people, so utensils, plates, water glasses came to the table slowly. Overall an excellent place for a celebratory dinner with our graduate. I was happy we could have a conversation without having to shout.

Food was good, but kind of pricey for what's given. I opted for the bistro portion of the fried avocado tacos, which I understood would be one decently sized taco, but it was primarily filled with the coleslaw mixed filling and just one small sliver of fried avocado. You could barely locate it among the filling so that was disappointing. Truffle fries were pretty good. The mushroom bisque was fantastic and the chocolate chip cookie fresh baked with ice cream was very tasty as well! My friends also agreed their food was good, but not outstanding. My other said the cajun pasta felt lacking, but couldnt pinpoint why apart from the majority of the flavor came from the andoille. There was live music when we went which wasnt overbearing and pleasant to listen to as well.

UPDATE: The owner contacted me personally to discuss the order and offered to make it right on the next one. I appreciate the attention and concern. ONCE GREAT, NOW BELOW AVERAGE My family has gone to this restaurant for many years. The food and service have been great, and the mac-and-cheese is amazing. With the pandemic, we have regularly ordered take-out. Unfortunately, with recent orders, there have been issues - a missed entree or side dish. And then yesterday, a completely underwhelming order of the otherwise delicious mac-and-cheese. I noticed the order was packed in 2 small boxes -- surely, this couldn't be the full $18.50 "meal size". The "manager" said he would take care of it, took the food back, and simply dumped the paltry amount into larger containers. We trusted that the order had been corrected and didn't check until we got home. You tell me, do the pictures show $37 of mac-and-cheese? We will not be coming back until service improves, at an appropriate cost. Very disappointing how far this restaurant has gone down in less than a year.

So sad! 3 generations of women all wanting to try to Pastiche. Mahi mahi tacos had to be sent back immediately they were so fishy, I watched my mother spit it out. Prime rib sliders were tasteless BUT the caprese stack was really good. Also got bourbon salmon and it too was a little fishy but not disgusting and quinoa good as well. I suggest the chefs veggies be cooked less to keep a nice fresh feel
