Farm to Table Fresh

Check out the review of West East Bistro here - NextStop Magazine

Few things make me happier than good food.

Seriously, few things. 

I'll admit I've passed West East Bistro

a few times before going in.

It's in a bit of an understated, 

slightly abandoned looking shopping center.

We saw a Groupon for it, where it explained more of 

the style of food offered there.

Which was quite different than my fiancé & I expected.

Farm to table, vegetarian options, and 

….drumroll please

not only is 90% of the menu gluten free

100% of the dessert menu is free!!!!

- pause for spontaneous blissful dancing -

dreams of sugar plums and chocolate cake

began dancing in my head. 

anyway…i digress. 

when we walked in really we were both pleasantly surprised

the "rough" exterior gives way to a beautiful interior

warm reds and oranges chosen to cover the walls

made for an inviting and calm atmosphere

while the soft music added

just that necessary extra touch of chill.

awesome portraits on the wall,

and a great bar placement 

made for a pretty darn cool Long Island restaurant.

cooler than what you'd have expected

from a quick drive by. 

the staff was so kind

and informative

and while my fiancé was a bit 

disappointed that there was no ginger ale,

he was pleased to find that his lemonade

was not only a healthier choice, 

but by far more delish and refreshing! 

not a single complaint on my end,

mango lemonade in hand :)

the menu proved to be impressive 

and expansive

and made it increasingly difficult to make

an entree decision. 

i went with: 

gluten free crab cake

pulled pork sandwich 

*ON A GLUTEN FREE (YUMMY) BUN!!*

and naturally,

gluten-fucking-free delicious

chocolate cake. 

….it should be said, i don't get to indulge in 

delicious gluten free desserts terribly often

(hence the use of excited profanity)

anyway. this is a must. 

whether you eat gluten free or not

do your taste buds and your belly a favor 

head to west east bistro,

you will NOT be disappointed. 

and tell em large marge sent ya! 

jk, they won't know who that is….

chocolate cake,

heaven is a place on earth

with you <3
