I used to be a devout fan of Cafe Bizou, but have gotten enough disappointments to revise my view... The sesame-coated salmon is still out of this world and the sauce good enough to eat with a spoon, but the salmon is sometimes overcooked. The monk fish, last time I had it was way overcooked. I've also had some sort of steak there that was dry and tasteless, although my friend's steak au poivre was succulent and the lambchops were good, too. The gioza in cilantro sauce I had to send back. I like butter, but the gioza was drenched in it and the cilantro sauce was so overwhelming, that it almost naseated me. The stuffed mushrooms and lobster filled raviolis was also not up to par. The stuffing, instead of being light and fluffy, had the consistency of spam and tasted like something out of a can... Finally, my adored tartatin, was served cold -- with the butter congealed. When I requested to have it warmed, it was promptly shoved in the microwave and served this dehydrated and faded without even the decency of embarassment. The Ahi Tuna Salad was also a sad display of veiny fish -- not something I'll dare to have again. However, the tuna tartare -- as appetizer or meal is still delicious. I really hope the owner or manager there take heed and at least fix the tartatin... I'd still recommend the place, but with a warning...
Pros: Affordable and some dishes are great.
Cons: Has gone down hill. You gotta watch what you order, because some of it is disappointing.
