Bistro 19

Last week Chris and I went to Bistro 19 to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. It's a new restaurant not far from our house, which trends dressy (with the occasional jeans in sight). Once we got in, I looked at the front of the menu and was pleased to see that they focus on seasonal, locally produced ingredients. For appetizers, we ordered the Calamari, which turned out to be as good as one of our favorite Louisville places, Palermo Viejo. I ordered the Wasabi Ahi Tuna, Chris got the Bistro Burger. Both were really tasty. And the chocolate cake made by the good folks at Uptown Coffee...well really how could that be wrong? Overall everything was super tasty, our only complaint was service was a bit off. I don't know how to explain this one, it wasn't the typical being deserted for hours on end bad service. When it was time for the next course, the waiter showed up. And the man pouring water and bringing bread did a yeoman's job. But it's the little things in life, like not interrupting a patron's sentence, or waiting for feedback when you ask a question, that didn't seem to happen. Strange. I would assume some of the rougher service edges will wear off when the restaurant is more than a couple weeks old. Or maybe next time we will just get a different waiter. But it's definitely a worthwhile (for us splurge) experience.
