good, worth trying again. i went to roman bistro's grand opening tonight with five friends. we all live in forest hills and were very excited to have a new restaurant open in the small borough. though service was friendly, everyone was obviously very new, but i definitely forgive that as it was the restaurant's first day.
we all ordered a drink or two each and had the cheese plate, stuffed banana peppers, breseola sandwich, caprese flatbread and duck confit flatbread. overall, i was most impressed with the flatbreads, especially the duck confit. it was absolutely delicious, and definitely worth the $9 price point. the stuffed banana peppers and breseola sandwich were also tasty. however, two of the items we ordered - a beer and the artichoke/goat cheese flatbread - were not available. the menu was obviously very temporary, so why were these updates not made before opening?
overall, i believe we all had an enjoyable experience and will be trying roman's bistro again.
