This past week we had the pleasure of dining in Downtown Grapevine.  We tried Main St. Bistro & Bakery.

Upon first entrance I was a little confused on what to do.  The restaurant is on one side and the bakery is on the other.  The door to the restaurant was locked.  After we stood there a few moments we were greeted and walked through what we needed to do.  We ordered our lunch at the bakery counter and received a number for our table.  It was self seating, so we chose a little booth in the back of the restaurant.  I ordered the Pasta Mardi Gras and a large Mimosa.  The wait was minimum.

Oh my goodness! This dish was delish!  The best ever.  I had never had this ever in life so I can't really compare it to others.  It consists of pasta, shrimp, scallops, sausage in some kind of sauce.  It was superb.  My mimosa was also great but I don't think anyone can screw up champagne and orange juice!  
The restaurant itself was a cute little spot.  As I looked around I noticed that there were several people there with their laptops.  So I am assuming it doubles as a sort of coffee house for downtown Grapevine. 

All in all it was a nice lunch outing.  The food was great and the atmosphere was pleasant.  The people were also nice.  The gentleman at the table next to us didn't mind me asking for his pickle! (it looked so good and he wasn't going to eat it!! WASTE NOT!)

Last Monday we went out to eat just for you! We decided on a French bistro. I have been there before for lattes on the bakery side, but never to dine.

This bistro is so cute! You can choose the bakery side for desserts and coffee/ lattes, or you can dine in the dining room which is nice and cozy. If you choose, there are tables out front as well... so nice, like a little piece of France in Texas!
 
We went at lunch time so you have to place your order and pay at the register in the bakery. If you go in the evening they come to you just like anywhere else. I have no idea why this is the case!
 
I ordered the crepe bistro which consists of cob smoked ham, mornay, Swiss and a side bistro salad. I have to say it was delicious! I ordered a latte for my dessert, a pumpkin spice chai tea latte. I must admit, I do go there just for their lattes alone, and it's a little bit of a drive! Look below at how pretty my food is!
 
The atmosphere is nice and casual, just what you would expect at a bistro. 
I did use the restroom after that latte and they were nice too, nothing fancy but decorated nicely and clean... always a plus! However, when I returned, to my dismay Tameca was finishing a pickle she had been eyeing off of some man's plate! Yes, she asked him for his pickle!
 
I have to tell you our waitress and waiter forgot our utensils but overall they were polite. 
I will definitely go back to dine.

 The atmosphere and where it is located is right up my alley! Historic downtown Grapevine is beautiful and quaint with a lot to see and do, ie... shop and dine!
