I’m
glad
to
see
The
Bistro
at
ONE65
reopen
after
a
long
break!
I’m
a
fan
of
their
amazing
Patisserie
on
the
ground
floor
but
had
never
ventured
upstairs
til
this
month.
The
Bistro
is
a
more
“casual”
California/French
dinner
restaurant
on
the
third
floor
with
an
open
kitchen.
ONE65
is
also
home
to
the
Michelin-starred
fine
dining
concept
O’
by
Chef
Claude
Le
Tohic
and
Elements
Bar.
ONE65
Bistro
currently
has
three
set
menus
-
two,
three,
and
five
courses.
The
prix
fixe
menus
are
a
bit
on
the
pricey
side,
but
depending
on
what
you
order,
they
can
be
more
in
line
with
typical
San
Francisco
pricing.
We
opted
for
the
three
course
menu
(two
sets
total)
and
were
quite
full,
especially
after
the
irresistible
complimentary
bread.
We
started
with
some
refreshing
appetizers
-
vibrant
kampachi
ceviche
and
seasonal
heirloom
tomatoes
with
basil
and
burrata.
Finishing
the
leftover
sauces
with
baguette
from
the
bread
plate
was
a
must.
And
the
decadent
croissant
-
perhaps
the
most
buttery
I’ve
experienced
-
was
sinfully
good
on
its
own.
The
main
courses
were
both
substantial.
I
chose
the
campanelle
pasta
with
romesco
mascarpone
sauce
and
mushrooms.
This
was
quite
enjoyable,
with
the
hearty
sauce
easily
picked
up
by
the
al
dente
campanelle
ruffles.
He
got
the
grilled
half
lobster,
and
though
I
think
lobster
is
generally
overrated,
I
found
myself
impressed
with
the
tenderness
of
this
one.
Our
server
indulged
our
request
for
more
bread,
so
we
got
to
also
try
the
brioche,
another
winner!
And
if
that
weren’t
enough
bread,
we
opted
for
the
cheese
plate
with
walnut
bread
for
a
savory
dessert
course.
The
other
dessert
was
a
spin
on
a
peach
melba,
with
poached
peaches,
strawberry
sorbet,
and
a
crispy
almond
cookie.
Overall
we
really
enjoyed
the
meal,
the
friendly
service,
and
the
counter
seating
open
kitchen
view.
When
I’m
feeling
splurgy,
I
definitely
want
to
try
O’
given
how
strong
this
bistro
menu
was.
