great concept. i thinkbellevuebistro has a pretty good thing going. went for the first time on a wednesday about 7pm. we were surprised how small it is, but that is one of the nice aspects of it. nice area for dining with a small coffee bar and featuring local artwork for sale that rotates monthly. i think it's creative to change your dinner menu every few weeks. they only featured 3 appetizers, and we chose the toasted ravioli-basically 8 pieces of ravioli, lightly breaded and fried. they were ok, tasted like a cheese stick, and not worth the 8 or 9 dollars.
my girlfriend had the 10oz ny strip and a side salad. she thought that the steak and red potatoes were overly salty. she wasn't really in the mood for steak but her 1st two entree choices they were out of for the night. that's all part of cooking with fresh ingredients though.
i had the ribs and onion rings. i think it was a 1/2 rack. they were very good. not falling off the bone, but they had a nice crust to them, were juicy, very meaty, and had a good thick bbq sauce. their onion rings were great....normally fried, then put on the grill for an extra crunch.
they serve bottled beer, but only 5 or 6 varieties. the best being stella and a bluegrass brewing co brown ale. i wish they served wine, but they only have wine coolers. maybe in the future?
despite my girlfriend thinking her food was like a salt lick, we are eager to go back so we can try another dinner menu and what looks to be a very nice breakfast(weekends only) and lunch menu. also, it's only right down the street from the levee.
