Popped into Bistro on the Brandywine at U.S. 1 and 100 in Chadds Ford, Pa., recently for a light meal. Well, it was really more like a snack.
It's Dan Butler's new casual bistro next door to his Brandywine Prime Restaurant. (Some may remember the site as a former antiques store.)
No liquor license yet - it's pending - so we had to settle for iced tea ($2.50 each.) You can bring your own ...
Airy, roomy and modern with light shades of blue, gray and green. No faux Colonial muskets or historical bric-a-brac decorating the walls. I like.
We shared a plate of roasted garlic, olives, goat cheese and toasted crostini ($6.95). It's a fine, not really exciting nibble, but I much preferred the moules frites ($9.95), a wonderful combination of sweet, plump mussels in a mustard sauce tinged with saffron and served with crispy, thin French fries, which were hard to stop eating.
If the rest of the dishes are as good, it looks like Butler has a winner on his hands.
I'm looking forward to a return visit soon to plow through chef Seth Harvey's menu which includes pizzas, steak, skate wing and chicken dishes, all under $20.
