Folsom eatery delights


Folsomites don't have to go far for a culinary adventure. Folsom Bistro, which has recently relocated, offers imaginative cuisine, as well as friendly and attentive service.

Chef Matthew Newton, pictured here in the bar area, prepared a perfectly cooked Duroc Pork Loin, thick and tender, for me last Thursday night, while my sister was treated to his Chicken Crepes in an incredible pesto cream sauce. Yes, we shared a bite of our dishes with each other.

The special appetizer of the evening was grilled artichokes served with a dipping sauce that also delighted the palette.

With dinner entrees ranging from $16 to $25 dollars and lunch sandwiches from $6 to $12 (for the Kobe Burger), the dining is not overly expensive.

Perhaps, the most delightful part of the experience was the pleasant interaction with our server Simone McKinley (also pictured) who smiled frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. Chef Newton made an appearance in the dining room to visit with guests and inquire after their meals.

So, try their latest creations at 6608 Folsom Auburn Road, Suite 1, Folsom, or call for more information at 916-990-0630.
