The Rendez Vous Bistro (614 4th St, Old Courthouse Square) is reminiscent of buying mint juleps at Disneyland or staying at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. The decor is a little over the top, making it more of a whimsical environment instead of a serious atmosphere. Nothing wrong with that…

First of all, let me just say – what a kick ass drink menu! Running down the list of drinks, I had a seriously hard time deciding which I would want to try first. Vodka and gelato shots? Count me in. Everything sounded yummy – blood orange, cucumber, ginger – lots of flavor profiles to choose from (+1000 for creativity).

There’s also a double happy hour – a traditional happy hour until 6pm and then a late night happy hour with discounted shots and well drinks (+500).

There plenty of seating to go around, a friendly bartender and a nice selection of booze (+1500).

We didn’t stay very long, but what I did see of Rendez Vous Bistro was very positive and it’s on the list for a return visit!

Final Score: 3000
