Admittedly, the Bistro was our second choice for the evening, as Sweet Basil's was full with an hour+ wait time (even at 5:00!). We had no reservations, but found space at the bar. This was a perfect place to sit to watch the bartender's artistry,...and their cosmos are amazing. It was also a really friendly place with a mix of locals and tourists, so it was a chatty, warm atmosphere.
Atmosphere trumped food, however. My friend ordered seafood fettuccini, and he was really disappointed, describing his dish as "Bertolli Alfredo." I ordered the ahi, which was ordinary, at best. For the quality, it was overpriced: a ho hum restaurant trying to compete in a town with some really great restaurants.More
