Our second time at Desert Bistro. We splurge here to celebrate special occasions. Was again rewarded with amazing food, superb service ty Ted and a warm and cozy fine dining experience. We started with the red and golden beets served with fresh basil pesto and...che'vre, yellow bell pepper pure'e and balsamic reduction, so good! I had the hand-made Agnolotti pasta filled with parmesan, asiago and truffled mushrooms; served in a light broth with marsala wine, portabella, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, lemon and sage. It was flavorful and beautifully presented. My wife had the stuffed, roasted Poblano Pepper with organic quinoa; mixed with sun-dried yellow tomato pesto, roasted corn & bell peppers, spinach, Anasazi and black beans, accompanied by a julienne of yellow squash, zucchini and carrots served over roasted tomatillo-basil sauce and topped with coriander toasted pumpkin seeds. If that doesn't make your mouth water! She said on a heat scale it was only a 2-3. Desert was pumpkin spiced cake with a burbon glaze and whipped cream, just the right mix of sweet and savory for a desert split with two of us.
We can't say enough good about our experience, but oh, don't forget the homemade bread served with each meal. The dipping oil, butter, and side sauce they serve with it just make this out of the oven warm bread that much better of an intro.
Expect to make reservations with a $10 refundable deposit upon arrival, ten minute grace. We took a 5:00 seating and really enjoyed the early-bird quiet of the restaurant until it filled in quickly. Couples, and families all seemed to enjoy.More
