Food Review : 86 Bistro


Before i start, i would like to say one thing.... 
Fellow Camels, we all must admit that we are all pretenders.  You will understand at the end of this post.
"86 BISTRO" in all ways serves its purpose, that purpose being unique.  A unique menu, with a unique chef.  The atmosphere was nice, not too crowded with a certain buzz around the seated customers; the service was excellent, the waiter kept checking up on us and asking us our opinion... although i know it wont last since this is its opening months.
I headed over there looking forward to all the hype of those "Cheese burger Spring rolls", extremely disappointed, not a shred of beef, just oily and cheesy.  The sauces placed with the entree's we ordered were all tasteless and no flavor ( i must admit i am a saucy guy - lame i know, get over it ).  
The chicken dishes tasted the same, although the Beef Mignon was FANTASTIC !! Crispy from the outside, buttery and juicy within.
Halfway through the meal, ( this is the pretender part i mentioned earlier )...  a waiter approached our table with a dish we did not order, i was like "OK, don't even think about saying i ordered it when i did not."
But the waiter destroyed any ill thoughts in my mind with two very simple words...... "Complimentary Dish"
"OK my friend !! set it right here !" - We camels, like to pretend that we have cash and we like to spend, but the day we get something FREE we go crazy and say GOD LOVES US !! its my day !!
Anyway, back to the dish which was a mix of Mashed potatoes and Grilled eggplants dressed in some tasty flavory sauce (YUMMY).. i hope it becomes set in the menu.

MY RATING : 3/5
TRY IT OUT !!!

MRS : i didnt try their salads, so good thing i did not. again with the cheese burger, it seems the chef was not well that day.. as for the service, ur right, the thing with it, its not in the situation where it can only get better, it has the potential to be worst.
AND thank you... hope you follow up on the new posts and voice ur opinion.
