Located on Montauk Highway in Bayport, Long Island is a quaint lovely French Bistro called Le Soir.
It is French Cuisine with a charming atmosphere, a very warm & friendly staff and a wonderful menu including several specials.
They also include soup & salad with your dinner, ( two soup choices)
Last night a refreshing cold cucumber soup and a hot vegetable puree soup. Both were wonderfully delicious! The cucumber soup has a yogurt base with small pieces of cucumber and was so flavorful, as was the vegetable puree with pea & carrot layers of flavor- excellent!
The Salad was crisp & served on chilled plates, which I happen to adore & feel ALL salads should be served, was lightly & perfectly dressed.
Appetizers are many, including pate, escargots in a lovely rich parsley & garlic butter- served out of the shell, crab cakes, duck confit, and more.
We ordered two of the entree specials, even though their regular menu is enticing as well.
The veal scalloppini with a rich mushroom truffle sauce was fabulous- three large tender thin pieces of pounded veal medallions and served with potatoes au gratin & haricot verts.
I also ordered a side of fresh asparagus with a rich hollandaise. The other entree was the wild striped bass- also very good with roasted beets, fennel and a potato puree.
It was difficult to decide as many of the 'specials' sounded so good- the lamb chops , lobster out of the shell in a lemon beurre blanc and filet mignon torenado also looked wonderful as it passed by to be served to other diners.
The desserts are all homemade and the blueberry deep dish custard pie had a bread pudding like base & was fluffy and light, yet still rich served with fresh whipped cream and just incredible!
Also available was a mixed berry tarte, baked on a thin layer of puff pastry, an apricot torte with a nut crust , and of course, chocolate mousse, among others.
Reservations are recommended.
