Nice concept in lil town
Posted by avaxo28 on 9/23/2009
after hearing reviews, we tried it while traveling through. this place is trying to be upscale/modern in a sleepy old town. food and ambiance is VERY well prepared. the staff maintains good professionalism, but i don't agree with other review that they could make it with NYC. the staff got very tense and worked slow when it was busy. the appitizers were wonderful tasting, but very small amount for such a heavy price. overall, decent place, but probably would not return.
EVERYTHING was great!

We searched Bistro 1888 on-line before dining there and saw some really nice reviews, so we decided to check them out. Everything was wonderful.... the cuisine, the atmosphere, the prices and the service. We really felt like we were in a 5 star establishment in a metropolitan city. We had the best tempura sea scallops I've ever eaten, delicious and creative dishes of Duck and Arugula Salad and the Grilled Hawaiian Sea Bass with ginger sesame vinaigrette with shrimp fried rice and vegetables. To top it off, we enhaled the chocolate decadence which was incredible. We give them 5 Stars!
'Great fresh food served with panache'

'Great fresh food served with panache' is what the Baltimore Sun (5/03) wrote about Bistro 1888, and it is very true. The chef and co-owner Margaret Moorefield is a culinary genius. All 24 entrees, 12 appetizers, soups, salads, desserts and nightly specials are wonderfully presented and excellent in freshness, quality and taste. The Bistro has received the Wine Spectator's Award of Excellent and AAA 3 Diamond rating and are to be written up in Southern Living in May of 2006. When you visit, check out their wall of other accolades or check out their website. Pretty impressive. This restaurant could compete with the best of them in NY.
