Good Stuff: Top 5 Reasons Why Church and State Bistro is Currently One of My Faves
1. Dealer's Choice. You tell the mixologist (these days calling someone a bartender is apparently verboten) what spirits you like and what flavor profiles you enjoy and, voila'! A crazy concoction shows up at the table and you all spend a ton of time trying to figure out what's in it. On a negative note, if you really like your drink and try to order another one, there's no guarantee said mixologist will remember your drink or what the hell was in it.
2. It doesn't feel like you're in Los Angeles and I feel really hip when I go to dinner anywhere east of the 405. Plus, the ambience is great. Casual with really good energy.
4. Crispy pig's ears with bernaise sauce. I like a little adventure in my cuisine. Especially when it is both novel and delicious.
5. Apart from having an adventurous streak, they get all the traditional bistro fare right. Onion soup, escargots, caramelized onion, bacon and gruyere tartes, steak frites--all outstanding.
