- Plates for Beginning and Sharing.

- Bistro Roberto's Salad$18.00Vibrant, full-flavored, herbs and greens in company with artisanal cheese, grilled fruit, seasonal vegetables, and today's house sorbet. Everchanging.
- Bella Roma Tomato Salad$18.00Heritage plum tomatoes, warmed with an herbed vinaigrette. Garnished with baby greens, herb toast and Parmesan crisp.
- Lobstercargots$29.00Lush chunks of Florida spiny lobster (instead of the chewy little slugs). Slow cooked in a crock with herbed spinach and seasoned garlic butter. A Bistro original. Often imitated. But then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
- Foie Gras, "Life, Liberty"$43.00Seared Hudson Valley foie gras on savory, "fruited" brioche bread pudding. Garnished with a vanilla bean and Sauternes reduction, nutmeg anglaise and aged balsamic. Sean: "I will stop serving foie gras when they peel my cold, dead fingers from my fork".
- Butter Poached Lobster & Pan Roasted Gulf Shrimp$39.00A "Novey" lobster tail, butter poached with a hint of citrus and star anise served on a bed of citrus Anson Mills grits, in company with Mosca'd style shrimp.
- Cheeky$27.00Fresh cheeks and throats – "the Captain's cuts." Bistro carved from fresh whole fish. Classic Française. Egg-washed, finished with a Key lime dill butter and capers served with chef's mashed. Unlike us they only have two cheeks, so availability is an issue.
- Crudo$26.00The sweetest cuts of fresh Gulf Grouper tossed with a bright Citrus Dijon Champagne Vinaigrette.
- $18. Our Caesar salad has a sacred lineage. The original recipe from Caesar Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana travelled to Arnaud's in the twenties. Sean was trained in its preparation at Arnaud's before opening the Bistro. For a Mick, like Sean, the sacrilege of changing our Caesar is too daunting. But for a few bucks ($5) and a risk to your mortal soul you are free to meddle. Extra Fish – with those cute little, sweet, white anchovies on top.
- Canajunizedwith Bistro maple glazed bacon. Because Sean's Canadian relatives think Caesar salad has little bits of bacon in it. No idea why.
- Caesar after Cleopatra"Blue" with blue cheese.

- American Ranchlands' Rack of Domestic Lamb$79.00Simply the world's best, fresh, domestic lamb, from Colorado. Seasoned, pan-seared and oven-roasted. Finished with a port-rosemary demi-glace.

Emeril's favorite.

- Bistro Duckling Two Ways$49.00The Tucker family's Maple Leaf Farms duckling. The duckling leg is confited, then pan crisped and torched. The duckling breast is seared like a steak. Garnished with a pepper Normande then finished artfully according to the Chef's whim. Tender. Crispy. Lush.
