Tastebuds American Bistro Restaurant Review: As if Bellevue wasn’t gentrifying with a wine shop and yoga studio, the fact that Tastebuds is its bistro-around-the-corner should make property values soar. Neighbors easily make this their dining room extension. While the food is upscale, in earnest bistro fashion, it’s intimate (40 seats and a tiny bar), oh-so-casual and a family affair. Owners Andrew and Valentina Wisniewski are always there. That’s their daughter, the hostess. It’s the kind of place where servers have tasted the food and wine, so they can talk about it knowledgeably and enthusiastically. We recommend the bourbon peach-glazed, pan-roasted boneless pork chop. Oft-changing menu items, including chicken Marsala with cremini mushrooms and pan-roasted salmon with lemon grass broth over mango-scented rice, vie for attention with nightly specials. There are small plates, such as an eggplant napoleon and a weekly-changing cheese torte as well as salads and pizzas. Desserts are homemade and there’s always something chocolate, though one night’s brownie was Sahara-dry. But its herbaceous mint ice cream mercifully moistened it. |
