Bistros near Novato

“Eclectic restaurant in the old part of Hamilton field. Inside and outside seating. Really good and fresh calamari, where you can actually taste the squid. Fish tacos are excellent, fresh fish perfectly cooked and good value. Shrimp tacos were also good. Fettuccine jambalaya had a well developed sauce with a good mix of proteins. Finished with a Snickers cheesecake and strawberry pavlova, both excellent. Service was good with very friendly staff. Only downside was the smell of the deep fat fryer, probably should have sat outside. Recommended and will return.“

“Great spot. Casual vibe. Server lady was pleasant but a little short. Never did check backs or cleared a single dish even when her food runner had no place to put the main courses down. Just sloppy lazy service by her. Runner was awesome but left to handle everything after she took the order. Veggie Shepherds Pie was great. Hamburger was very good tho a tad small for the huge bun. Wings were tiny drummets with nice flavor and a terrific sauce but small portion was ridiculous for the price. Polenta fingers were ok but needed seasoning in the polenta itself and some melted cheese on top. It was really just oily pesto on top of cold bland grilled polenta cut up. Will try again but tbd how that goes.“
