First Post: Wine and Country Bistro

I recently tried Wine and Country for the very first time. I'm not sure why I never ventured into the restaurant before, but I suppose it is because I rarely go to Pierrmont Mall.

Environment: The restaurant was surprisingly busy for a weekday evening. By 8, the entire restaurant was packed. It was a warm and lively atmosphere, while maintaining a environment still conducive to conversation.

Service: The team at Wine and Country were very friendly and attentive. Nothing "wowed" me about the service, but I certainly have no complaints.

Food: I'm not going to make an overall judgment of the food based my limited encounter with the food. I'll have to go back and try the restaurant again. What was really nice about Wine and Country was the selection of wines and cheeses in the market. The cheese selection, though small was thoughtful carrying some slightly-harder-to-find cheeses. I do wish they had a wider selection of blues.

As for the food in the Bistro, the selection of produce was quite fresh. The wedge salad with fried green tomatoes was nice combination of flavors and textures. My main course on the other hand, though nicely presented, was heavily overloaded with salt to the point I could not taste the food.

In summary, this place is on my to-try-again list. It was a nice experience, with the exception of the over-seasoned main course. However, I'm willing to give it another whirl.
