Check out:
a news piece from CBS 3 about Bistro Les Gras and one of the great local farms we use!
"Bistro Les Gras has all the ingredients for a flawless French restaurant. The wine list is exciting and interesting."
-The Valley Advocate
"Though the menu changes with the season, chef Daniel Martinez’s harmonious execution remains the same. Bistro Les Gras is a gem and the 'Clean and Complex' food is what makes it shine.
-The Valley's Forager Blog
"Bistro Les Gras has a soothing, comfortable look inside. Small, but not crowded, the feeling is intimate and gracious . . . several [dishes] were so delicious, so flavorful, so unexpected, that we are eagerly anticipating our next trip . . . They were simply the best frites we've had in many, many years."

"[T]he flatiron steak emerges red to the edges and meltingly tender . . . A wedge of Reine de Saba, a chocolate-almond flour cake, had a pleasingly coarse texture and winning chocolate flavor . . . The knowledgeable service staff, we discovered with pleasure, is most helpful in guiding patrons to the right wine choice.”
-The Republican
"The Martinezes say they are committed to using local and seasonal ingredients, which is one reason the menu changes so frequently. We opted for the . . . poulet rôti (roast chicken), boeuf à la mode (braised beef) and a bouillabaisse – all perfectly cooked. The slices of the chicken's white meat were moist and tender, the thigh and leg juicy and the skin crispy. The beef was tender and the accompanying sauce dark and well-reduced. The beef sat on top of a celeriac (celery root) puree, a nice touch: It looked like creamy mashed potatoes, but surprised me with good celery flavor."
