Last Friday, I had lunch with a Realtor Friend at a reasonably new Bistro on Fairview Road in Simpsonville. I was in for an unexpected treat. I'm not normally a huge fan of grits but after seeing this dish on a nearby table, I decided to give the Shrimp & Grits with tomatoes a try. The presentation was really good on every dish I saw them deliver to the adjoining tables.
The dish arrived at our table (with some wonderful bread and butter) and proved to taste as good as it looked. There was a sauce around the grits/shrimp & tomatoes that made you know why the entire dish was so good. It was a great meal and I was definitely a cleaned plate-er on this meal. We decided right then to treat some of our clients to this Bistro in the future
When it was time for dessert, the waiter suggested a Banana Crème Brulee which lived up to his description of a dessert that was flying out the door. It tasted like an upscale banana pudding without the cookie/wafers but instead, a browned sugar sprinkled on top.
The owner said they were a Regional Southern Bistro and Kim and I agreed this tasted like a dish you might be served in a fine restaurant in Charleston, SC. But, they are right here in Simpsonville, SC and I urge you to go by for lunch or dinner if you live anywhere nearby. Should you ever visit, it would be a treat to eat here also.
Photos do not do the food justice . . . next time, I will have my camera ready to take photos.
