Bistro 185 Breakfast For Dinner is a Winner
On a hot summer night would you sit at a cool local restaurant and have breakfast for dinner?
You should.
I really enjoy sitting at the bar in Bistro 185. I'm sure the service is wonderful in the dining room but Richie Stein (voted one of Cleveland's best bartenders) or his protégés Zack really give a great dining experience.
On my last trip to the Bistro I started off with steak burger sliders. Served on toasted French baguette's and topped with bacon, barbecue sauce, sharp cheddar, and crispy onion straw's they are delicious. I also could not resist the devil eggs made with pickled egg whites. The crowning achievement of the evening however was the 14 ounce ribeye, served with fried eggs, pickled red onions, hollandaise sauce, and hand cut fries.
Steak and eggs were not the only breakfast available for dinner this night. French toast with berries and whipped cream, and Mexican corn cakes topped with fried eggs and avocado cream were also on the menu on this magical night. I am pretty sure the breakfast for dinner theme is a Thursday night idea. But it really doesn't matter what night you go. The menu changes daily, and there will be something amazing for you.
Don't leave without some handcrafted desserts made by Vicki. I usually take home a slice a carrot cake, but it is so hard to pick, they all look so delicious.
Stop in and see Richie or Zack. Tell them the Observer sent you.
