Bistro Bobette

My aunt and uncle were in town on Monday evening and offered to take me to dinner.  My aunt suggested going to a french restaurant.  I immediately wished Bouchon was still open and after quick google search, I was happily informed that it was and operating under the name, Bistro Bobette.  As soon as I walked in, I was excited because it appeared that the only thing that changed was the name. 

We started the meal off with the marinated olives.  I've never met an olive that I liked before but these particular olives were really tasty and far from the biny taste that I'm accustomed to when eating olives.  Apparently I'm beginning to appreciate a good olive!

As far as the main dish, I ordered the special, Quail with truffle mac-n-cheese and braised collards.  The quail was succulent and beautifully plated on top the collards and mac-n-cheese.  Although the plating was pretty, it was the one part of the meal that I could change.  The juices from the collards (accidentally) combined with the mac-n-cheese, which cut the richness and flavor of the pasta.  I'm not typically funny about foods touching but being a big fan of their mac-n-cheese in the past, I was slightly disappointed by combination. 

For dessert, I went classic...the Creme Brulee with a cappuccino.  The creme brulee was amazing.  The rich cream was the perfect texture and the exact right level of sweetness.  The caramel topping was precisely torched.  The cappuccino was a great accompaniment to the dessert and the perfect conclusion to an overall delicious meal.
