Bess Bistro

Sandra Bullock's restaurant is warm, cozy, underground, and has an interesting menu that seems to be a compilation of one person's favorite dishes.  
Everything from seafood to steak to chicken pot pie can be found on the menu.  

The free bread is a mix of various breads with delicious butter. 
The farmer's salad had arugula, beets, and huge generous blobs of goat cheese.  ($12)
Fish and chips, a Friday special, was crisp and flavorful. ($12)  See the menu on the Bess website for their daily specials.
The fish w/ lentils & creamy lemon sauce was not on the regular menu or the specials menu.. very good.  The lentils added great texture to the meal.  ($22)
Oh my goodness.  The dessert was the highlight, in my opinion. (Isn't it always?)  An apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream.  I had never had cinnamon ice cream before, and it went perfectly with the crispy-chewy apple tart.  ($6)
