Station Bistro

The Station Bistro was a groovy concept – cool old auto shop building brought back to life as a meeting place with chalkboard tables, a short menu of interesting small plates and servers happy to serve. They were going for an extended family type of vibe that ended up feeling cliquish and snobby, perhaps. I tried it once or twice, the food tasty but expensive, the vibe a bit hectic for a small place. The patio was pleasant though surrounded by parked cars. Maybe it needs to come back as something funkier – fried onion sandwiches $1! Places doing this right are the ones who aren’t trying too hard to be ‘urban’ – like the Stepping Stone.
