Review: Jacky’s Bistro


I am absolutely in love with Jacky’s Bistro now.

The location is close by (less than a ten minute drive), the dress code is casual, and the food is amazing.  I was a little turned off by our waitress showing up five minutes after we were seated, but the restaurant was incredibly busy and she was very attentive and  friendly thereafter.

I loved the simple yellows, browns, and reds of the decor.  There was nothing overly modern or elaborate about it - just classic and comfortable.

For dinner, I started with the Asparagus Salad with Artisanal Cheese, Shaved Fennel and Mustard Vinaigrette.  I enjoyed the flavor combinations and the acidic citrus pieces in the salad.  For my main dish, I ordered the Sautéed Fresh Gnocchi with Pesto Sauce.  The gnocchi was firm, and the pesto was perfect.  For dessert, there was a sampler with some mousse, a fruit tart, chocolate cake, and other sweet treats.

I was really impressed with Jacky’s Bistro, and I eagerly anticipate my next meal there to try some of the things I couldn’t try this time around!
