We enjoyed the Treadfin Bistro. Both the food and service were good but there was really not a single dish that would make me come back again. We were seated at the bar which is better than some of the other seating that puts you within inches of other diners. The place is small but really perfect in design. Loved the woodwork, colors, lighting and overall feel of the space. A lot of thought and talent was put into the decor. Love it. The menu changes and it is $65 for a three course meal. You can choose between two starters and three different entrees.

They also have specials that can be added. We went with a Burrata and Heirloom Tomato Salad for an additional $23 and the Lobster Pasta for an extra $32. The Burrata and Tomato Salad was probably our favorite of the night. The Lobster Pasta was good with a decent amount of Lobster but the sauce didn't have much flavor. The Beet and Apple Salad was pretty good. The Scallops were a bit of a disappointment. First off they cover them with a rice cracker which I thought ruined the presentation. Secondly, the dish was pretty tasteless. Kind of bugged me that most dishes here are served in bowls. For some reason I don't like that but thought maybe it is a Japanese thing. The Hudson Valley Duck Breast cost an additional $9 but was worth it. Perfectly cooked Duck charred on the outside with lots of flavor. The Mahi Mahi was served in a bowl with a Curry Sauce. The sauce was pretty tasty and the fish was delicious. Dessert was delicious and the Red and White Wines are only $10 a glass which was supper nice! I will come back here again when the menu changes to give it another try. Love the space and the employees were all very nice.
