Sweet n Savory's Epicurean Bistro

"Four of us had dinner last night for the first time. I had seen postings of this place on Facebook (ILM Foodie Alert) and after reading positive comments and looking at some photos (food looked wonderful), I wanted to try this place. Their menu had a lot of good items, which made it difficult for all of us to choose. I ordered the crab cake appetizer, which had a nice spicy cream sauce on top, along with a small mixed green salad. There wasn’t a lot of filler and while there was just white crab meat, it was very tasty and filling. My husband ordered a cup of the chicken tortilla soup, which he said was very good. One friend ordered the crab and roasted red pepper bisque, also very good, and the other had the fried goat cheese salad. All of these appetizers were good sized portions. In fact, the next time I go there, I’ll start with a salad instead of a heavier appetizer. For our entrees, two of us had the Argentine hanger steak – a 6 oz portion, topped with a chimichurri butter, mashed potatoes and vegetables. I ordered mine rare and it was rare, just the way I like it. My husband had the pork schnitzel that came with a sweet potato puree, sautéed spinach and pickled onions. The fourth person ordered the seafood crepe appetizer as her entrée. I had a small bite and I really liked the flavors of the lobster cream sauce. Everything was excellent and we all enjoyed our meals. What we also really liked was the reasonably priced menu. Entrées ranged from $15 to $25. The wines and cocktails were also well priced. We also had Key lime pie for dessert. Very tarty and not overly sweet. The service was excellent, from the manager Regina (or is she the owner?), and our waiter Leo. We found the restaurant to be a cozy place with its brick interior and seating for about 50 people; plus a bar that seats eight. The music was a little loud, but after asking, it was turned down, making it a pleasant dining experience. We look forward to our next visit and trying something different on the menu."

"Cute little restaurant that was a distinctly French restaurant that appears to be transitioning to more European bistro. There was just one waitress/bartender with front of house manager on a Friday evening. Service was good and prompt but it wasn't overly busy. We started with a crab cake that was as stated with no fillers but all crab. Accompanied with an aoili that had a little spice to it. The pork schnitzel was perfectly fried but a little thick and a bit pink by the bone. It had wonderful flavor with a squirt of lemon. The sweet potato puree was a great pairing as it had warm spices added to it. Loved the sauteed spinach with pickled red onions. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly to order and tender with great seasoning. Paired with Pomme puree and a large amount of delicious vegetables. Looking forward to returning for a reasonable meal with inexpensive drinks and great food. Can't wait to see what Amy and Shawn do with this restaurant."

"Unexpected delightful find! We usually eat at the other French restaurant across the parking lot but decided to try this place for lunch and will most definitely be back! The French 75 were perfect start! I had the beet salad with so many little tastes of carrots, red and orange beets & other veggies. The Seafoood crepe was truly savory and not heavy but creamy at the same time! The scallops were tender and plentiful! The shrimp were perfect size and tasty. The microgreens & spinach added a nice touch. The "gravy" and crepe were perfect consistency and combination. The service was spot on. Prices were super reasonable especially for the quality and portion size. Loved the brick walls and ambiance. Go enjoy any meal there! Nice bar too!"

"This was an unexpected find! If the Bistro were a person, it would carry itself with poise, and easy elegance. The interior was beautiful! The food did not disappoint either - everything was cooked to perfection and artistically presented. We had Caesar Salad, French Onion Soup topped with Gruyère, Beef Wellington, and Seafood Crepe. You absolutely must ask for wine recommendations. The selections were very interesting and paired perfectly!"
