My wife and I went on a Sunday evening about 6:30. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait. While we we waiting, a waiter came up to the check in counter carrying a boom and dust pan. He called to an elderly couple who were waiting for a table. He escorted them back carry the broom and dustpan in his hands. We were greeted shortly thereafter by a waitress who told us there was no need for us to wait since there were empty tables. Couldn’t quite figure that one out. As we taken back to our table I noted at least half of the tables were open. The majority of them were clean and ready for patrons. They had Bloody Mary special It was something like a smoke maple bacon or something like that. It sounded and looked excellent. We also ordered some fried pickles. My Bloody Mary came out with a piece of celery and a pickle wedge. No lime, no lemon, no olives and worst of all no bacon. I pointed this out to our waitress and showed her the picture and description of the drink. She said said the bartender had only been there a week. She then brought me a plate with three pieces of bacon. When our fried pickles came out there was a majority of them stuck together is big clumps. They were also really salty. To make matters worse, we were give two small containers of remoulade sauce and some other light colored sauce. Both of the dressing had been sitting out so long they had a crust on them. It was gross. We opted to just eat the salty pickles and press on. The only positive point was the Shrimp St Charles that I ordered. It was actually pretty good. On the other hand, my wife ordered the Chicken and Avocado club which was totally tasteless. The entire sandwich was just bland. No flavor what so ever. We expresses this concern to our waitress who stated she had never tried it. That was her only response. We were so disappointed by the experience, that we were afraid to try the normally excellent cheesecake. Didn’t want to spoil that memory too.
The Cheesecake Bistro used to be one of our favorite places. I don’t know what happened but we won’t be going back. Not recommended!
