The Bistro- Lexington Virginia

For around $8 I had a great spring salad at the Bistro in Lexington Virginia.  This was another great restaurant that didn't exactly fit in with the Civil War/history theme of our trip, but that was OK.  This place was great.

We actually got in right before a large crowd showed up.  We were glad about that, but the Bistro still seemed to handle being full.  They seemed to be old pros at that.

We over heard people at the table beside us say that the Bistro was "the place" in Lexington.  AND we heard a lot of others go on about how good the food was.

Live flowers were on each table.  My friend went to take a picture of a couple.  A lady (I assume the manager) came by to straighten one out for him before he took the photo.  She told him that the flowers came from her garden.


The entire place had that kind of a feel....  They were proud of what they have done at the Bistro.  They have made something that the locals... and tourists can appreciate.  They have some of themselves personally invested in the place.

I am generally not a spring salad person, but I did love this one.
