We went to the Eastside Bistro located at the Fashion Square Mall at 2pm yesterday and were the only ones in the resturant. The place was beautiful inside. They had a sign saying they could hold up to 150 people for weddings, receptions, birthday parties, and other events. I had no idea that a place in the mall could look so amazing. They even has a section up near the windows that could have curtains pulled to be a little more separated from the rest of the restaurant.
Our appetizer was chips/pita with spinach dip. We asked for both the chips and pita bread. The dip was creamy and the best I have had. The pita bread was tasty and definitely something I would recommend with this dip. We even got some to take home.
I ordered the Fettuchine Verde for $9.99 and my boyfriend ordered the same but with chicken for $3 more. Seeing the $9.99 price I thought they would be smaller portions and that we would not be sattisfied with splitting a plate. Needless to say that I wish we had just ordered one plate. The dishes came out and where huge! We both brought home leftovers.
The Alfredo sauce was a heavy white sauce with little flavor. I make better sauce at home but it was not bad. The pasta was cooked correctly and was no to under or over done. There where only two slices of mushrooms on my plate and just a few peas. I wish there had been more.
The server was great. He did not bug us at all but made sure that we had what we needed. I had another glass of sweet tea without ice brought to me just in time since I had about 2 more sips left and I did not even have to ask.
Overall, I plan on going back to his Bistro to try other dishes. Not only is it close to my house but it is a great deal for the amount of food served.
