Salad • Bistro • Drinks • American
"It's a lovely spot in downtown South Boston Virginia. You are instantly transported back in time to old Americana as you walk Main street to the doors of Bistro 1888. I was promptly greeted by the hostess who seated me in the well decorated dining room. Smooth jazz played softly in the background as my waitress takes my drink order. I had read the Yelp reviews and looked at pictures so my tummy was ready for the chicken and Angel hair pasta. I decided to also have the portobello mushroom appetizer. The mushrooms were lightly battered and served with a smooth roquefort dipping sauce. Omg it's light but full of flavor. My salad was interrupted by my entree arriving early. The pasta was so light, the wild mushrooms were so crispy I could have just eaten them alone. You get pieces of sun dried tomatoes, slithers of onions and parmesean cheese to marry in with the moist chicken breast. It's always good when a picture matches taste. Sadly I didn't have any dessert this time but that means I will return soon. So glad I popped in....til next time:"
