Black Creek Bistro

I have eaten at Black Creek Bistro half a dozen times and want so badly for them to make it. I love their premise - a cozy corner bistro with a cool interior, eclectic menu, and lovely "we started as an organic farm that tills the soil with tractors that run on vegetable oil" history. I have liked everything that I've ordered at Black Creek - but when I'm dining there with other people, it seems they usually like it about half the time.

My favorites so far are the chicken club with avocado that's on the lunch menu as well as their lentil soup. I've only been once for dinner and had a salad with grilled chicken to go with my lentil soup. The salad had greens that I really didn't care for - arugula I think (the peppery, spidery greens) but it was saved by the pears and amazing homemade dressing. The other items ordered by the group were their house salad with chicken - fabulous, walnut crusted tofu - not as flavorful as hoped, Calamari - a bit chewy, quesadilla - amazing, and the pork chops - a new favorite. Even the people who didn't care for their meals agreed that the atmosphere and the inexpensive but excellent wine list made up for it entirely.

I will eat there at least once a month if it will help them beat the jinxed corner of Oak and Parsons!!
