Good, consistent French cuisine 8/19/2005

We were very pleased with Bistro Calais - the menu and service were very consistent. The chef makes simple dishes come alive. Examples are french onion soup, mashed potatoes and bordelais sauce. Both Filet Mignon with foie gras and Strip Steak were excellent. However, Roquefort topping on the strip steak was a bit strong and foie gras on the filet was tasty but not firm enough. Our favorite appetizer was pistachio-crusted baked brie with raspberry sauce. The mixed green salad was tasty yet simple. Service was prompt without being imposing. Creme brulee was very good, and would be perfect with a firmer custard. Overall, our experience was amazing and we definitely will return for items on this tempting menu, such as Duck Confit and Steak Frites. Pros: tasty food, simple menu, nice atmosphere more

Chef's Table 2/17/2005

For a fabulous, fun evening, grab four couples & reserve the Chef's Table!! We did that a couple of weeks ago after seeing Varekai. What a meal and what a deal. For $65 per couple, including a bottle of winer PER COUPLE, you are treated to a feast from the kitchen & you never have to look at a menu. From the huge platters of appetizers which included smoked salmon, stuffed mussels, fried goat cheese, olives to the authentic salade nicoise, to the delicious main dishes, veggies and most amazing potatoes au gratin and then top it off with cheese platters and then desserts! We all waddled out of the restaurant. And, the wines we chose we not bottom shelf, they were wonderful Cotes du Rhones. I highly recommend the Chef's Table for a meal to remember!!! more

Absolutely a most go 1/30/2005

Absolutely a most go. This cozy French Bistro in the heart of River Oaks is a warm welcome to the plush neighborhood. The Roquefort salad with seared flat meat is out of this world, by far the best salad in town and great for that low-carb diet as well. When ordering an entree, I recommend the filet with foie gras.it melts in your mouth. The succulent lamb rack and luscious pork chop have to take the cake, unless they are running the slow roasted chicken special.then you are going to have a hard time picking which one to get. I recommend you bring friends and get all four and have Philip pick your wine. He really knows his stuff. Bon Appetit. Pros: Cuisine, Atmosphere, Service Cons: Parking more

Wonderful! 1/18/2005

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The food was perfect, as well as the atmosphere and scenery. I think it is in a ""bad luck"" spot, but I really hope this restaurant makes it. The service was wonderful yet unobtrusive, highly recommend! Pros: service, location, food more

Very nice place, good food and wine 12/8/2004

This is a very nice place with great romantic atmosphere, friendly service, good wine and food. The back room has very nice windows looking out the wedding area next door. There is a variety of solid French dishes that are tasty. The wine list isnt super large, but has a good, not overly burdensome selection favoring French wines. Many of the French wines are priced quite reasonably for a restaurant. Pros: asmosphere, wine, food more
