Brulé Bistro

I have always come here for lunch with my girlfriends, for over 15 years. The menu still has some "classics" (tacos, grilled avocado, chicken meatballs), and they have added some great salads and seafood dishes. They have a lot of gluten free options. Great place to sit outside. And the have good gelato!!!

After seeing it reviewed on PBS "Check Please", we had to try it. We're both foodies and the menu looked fabulous. My friend ordered the lobster roll, which was highly recommended...it was more bread than lobster and she said the lobster was tasteless. I love pork belly, so I ordered the sliders without bun (I'm gluten intolerant). Pork belly should be tender and melt-in-your-mouth. The two 2"x2" cubes I received were tough and dry. I chewed my way through the first one and just couldn't cut the second one which looked like it was a day old. Having said that, the arugula salad was good, and the crème brulée was perfect. We did ask for a discount, and was at first refused, but then they gave it to us. The service however was good. Will we go back? Don't think so.
