The Saddest Little Bistro on the Block


Ciska Bistro opened up a little over a week ago a couple of blocks down the road from where we live. We walk by it everyday and have watched its build-up to opening day since we've been here, therefore we both feel a little mater/paternalistic towards it. We've been there since the beginning and now we're watching its first forays into the world of dining. It's just so sad that it can't be taken seriously. They're obviously looking to attract some American coin, as evidenced by the American flag they've stuck up in the window next to the menu, but they've made the kiss of death mistake. They've stuck up photos of their food! And the food doesn't even look good! No self-respecting eater would stop by, see the American flag, look at the food, and think, 'I need to eat a meal at this establishment'. So like the laissez-faire type of parents, we cringe every time we walk by and hope they'll grow out of the tacky phase before they go bankrupt.
