Bistro by Dana Craig, Restaurant Critic
Style Weekly 3/17/09 – Excerpt from “The Body
of MacArthur”: …….. Tastebuds American Bistro (4019
MacArthur Ave.). A dim place with a wall of wine bottles,
it’s the Body MacArthur’s quiet dignity. Open for dinner,
the $16 prix fixe is outstanding — the spinach salad with
pickled red onions and goat cheese is simple and delightful,
and the fettuccine with Bolognese ragout is a subtle dish
that ranks up there with Mamma ’Zu. For apps, eggplant
pomodoro is the Continental cousin of the fried green
tomatoes, perfectly crisp and flavorful. As for regular
entrees, the Sicilian Marsala shrimp, all tomatoes and
capers, makes your eyes roll back every third bite or so,
though my companion kept forking my fettuccine and
eventually there was a good old-fashioned plate swap. Our
waiter was bemused. Get him talking, by the way.
Listed in Style Weekly, 3/25/09 issue, as one of "50
(or so) Restaurants We Love".
