We thought it might be fun to post small reviews of the restaurants we try on the nights we don't cook. We love eating out, first its great that we don't have to do the prep or clean up, second it is a great source of inspiration for dishes to try at home. This past Thursday we tried a new restaurant close to our place called Bistro 536. I say new because its new to us, apparently they have been open since December. The interior looks like it belongs down town Charleston rather then in a strip mall in Mt Pleasant but we didn't mind. It was clean and well appointed.We started with a Goat Cheese Crostini topped with wild mushroom saute served with a small bed of baby spinach drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette – $6. When it came out is wasn't quite what we expected, the wild mushrooms completely enveloped the crostini but is was delicious, very rich and earthy. The crostini was still crisp despite being drowned in mushrooms.
For the entrée I ordered the Mahi special, Grilled local Mahi over a crispy risotto cake and grilled zucchini. The Mahi was very well cooked and compliment by a nice butter sauce. The risotto caked was a fried ball of risotto, can' really go wrong there. It was crisp on the outside and the risotto was creamy on the inside. The zucchini seemed like an after thought, "he we need a veg....we got zucchini in the fridge...ok we'll just grill that" The zucchini was tasty but it seemed rather oily.
Brea got the Traditional Bouillabaise with grouper, scallops, clams, shrimp in a white wine saffron broth served with a slice of grilled French baguette – $18. All and all she enjoyed it but the scallops and shrimp were slightly over cooked. The flavor of the Bouillabaise was spot on, its just a shame they let the seafood cook to far.
The price was a little high for what we had and where we were (next to subway and Food Lion) but we would likely try this place again. The service was prompt and friendly and over all the food was tasty.
