Betty Lou's Bistro

Well worth the stop to support local owners.
Good menu for the smaller size of the restaurant.
Quaint atmosphere.
Don't be afraid to sit at the community table if their seats available. My friend had the steak sandwich which was cut from tenderloin filet trimmings and he enjoyed it and the truffle fries.
I ordered the scallops.
They were cooked just right but they added salt and the salt was overwhelming.
The scallop dish could use some presentation color.
Very bland presentation.
Sprinkle some color on the plate rim or add color other than sprinkles of parsley on the starch? They were just opening and the service started off pretty poorly with very little communication and she clearly did not want to engage us in any particular way.
She was able to recover with some better service throughout the meal. Stop by and support local owners!

The most amazing cuisine! Everything was perfect.
We stumbled upon this place and are happy we did.
Both The Chicken Ciabatta sandwich and the Bistro Burger were perfectly balanced in flavor.
We opted to substitute our fries with the truffle fries which is accompanied by a parmesan and garlic aioli.
To end this amazing late lunch, we had to have the Banana pudding with a banana caramel puree! Wow just Wow! Our server Daniel was laid back, friendly and he made the experience that much better when he brought us the banana cream soda that he heard us talking about. Do not miss out on this gem!

Wednesdays is Betty Lou Bistro day for us because we're usually in West Ashley.
We live the food, prices, and service.
We started with one of our favorites: the pimento goat cheese.
Still delicious although not as creamy as in the past.
Today I had the shrimp scampi.
The linguini was perfect and they was plenty of shrimp in the white wine, butter, and garlic sauce.
My wife had her usual half size fried shrimp platter.
Frankly, there's so much food on the half size I don't think even I could finish a full size.
With two glasses of ice tea the book came to $73.
