Bistro 153

I have been meaning to try this place for awhile now. Last night, a friend and I swung by for happy hour, and we were both impressed.

Happy hour prices are very good, and the food was excellent. Two beef sliders, two teriyaki chicken sliders, an order of fried pickles, artichoke and spinach dip and three beers only ran us $22. Looks like happy hour runs from 2:00pm to 6:00pm, so you can start imbibing early if that's your thing. (And really, as long as it's after noon, you're safe, right?) We didn't stick around for Karaoke, but may have to check it out on a Friday night in the future. I'd also like to go back to try the main menu. Looks like they have some great dinner specials throughout the week.

The place has a nice bar area. Lots of wine choices, decent beer selection (they have Drop Top, so I'm happy.) There's an outdoor seating area, but it just looks out over the parking lot, and it appeared to be more of a smoking section than outdoor seating.

The people were very friendly, service was quick and accurate. I'll definitely be back.

Putting it at 3 stars for now, but if future visits mirror the first, I anticipate bumping it to 4.
