The people at Table 65 Bistro, nearly smack dab in the heart of New Richmond, want you to know that in addition to hundreds of menu choices, they’ve found it best to offer breakfast beyond the basics too.
This not your typical coffee klatch. Although it’s served in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, like you would expect, all in their venue that still has lots of room to sit, tucked away just off the main drag.
Thus the most important meal of the day, and served up as so, does not necessarily mean the ones occurring later in the day, although they have those too.
So this is the backbeat to the Bistro. It also caters to the night owls taking in the nightlife several blocks to the south who also become early-risers. (Because they have so many entrees in their bistro menu, in sheer numbers they utilize way more than the second and fourth beats of a backbeat. You also get everything between. Thus I’m drumming up this way to double your dining pleasure, by not missing a beet, as they have them sliced too.) And it’s not far from the New Richmond music and other entertainment zone. So if you’re from, say, the Twin Cities, and lodging overnight, you might want come for the music and stay for breakfast. Or eggs over easy for any other reason. Or lunch and brunch or dinner?
So treat your taste buds to a better breakfast, with lots of savory ingredients that go well beyond, and more of them in total on a single entree. For example, come dinner, you can even have portabella mushrooms with sliced beets, and all the rest of the fixins, as shown abundantly in the all-in omelet.
For those who just want to have a short-order pick-me-up for breakfast, maybe after getting up following a music-filled previous night, or just to complement their other dishes, there are sides available for between $1.75 and $4. And maybe they pair well alongside the maple compote for just $5, so you get to partake in a warmed apple, with raisin, craisin, walnut and all-out pure maple syrup.
Also, the breakfast panini wrap adds more bacon to the Italian sausage, mushroom, egg, spicy aioli and provolone cheese; the avocado BLT for breakfast gives bacon, as in Utecht’s brand, lettuce, over-easy egg, tomato and garlic aioli; Bourbon Street morning wrap boasts in addition andouille sausage, creole sauce and queso; another wrap also piles on ham, Swiss cheese, spinach to accompany balsamic glaze with tomato. The incorporation of sourdough, steak (on two different sides) and onion also is offered.
— There are also a bevy of beverages, both nonalcoholic and also non-virgin, and desserts of all types and this is why they also call themselves a gelato cafe. As in last night’s special on their sign: Dessert cocktail, three squares. —
Later, the Thai peanut veggie wrap, for only $9, teams sauteéd zucchini, sweet peppers, pineapple, asparagus, shredded carrot, brown rice, cilantro and their spicy Thai peanut sauce.
For going Orleans, there is Bourbon Street fritatta with eggs, queso, sweet peppers and andouille sausage baked in a bed of zucchini noodles with a side of spicy etouffee.
Upping the ante is the Very Veggie Frittata sporting asparagus, carrot, sweet peppers, onion, much mushroom and parmesan baked in that bed of zucchini noodles. The Italian-style sausage fritatta finds mozzarella, sweet peppers and onion baked in a bed of zucchini noodles, as well.
As for omelets, going back to breakfast, there is queso, sautéed crimini mushrooms, red peppers and Chihuahua cheese. The avocado bacon omelet brings in tomato, and the Greek shrimp some feta, black olives, spinach, fresh tomatoes and garlic, and for $12 the ham, onion and provolone, and likewise the crispy hashbrowns, Italian sausage, bacon, mushrooms, Chihuahua cheese and spicy aioli. It can also be avocado or garlic spiced.
And there’s the all-in omelet, and Phoebe’s Toast Toppers with options that include both Feta and goat cheese, and red pepper with the egg. Two entrees each provide goat cheese and — what’s called the Oh Yeah! — portabella for breakfast that’s sauteed, along with that treatment for onion, peppers and spinach, and ham topped with semi-soft egg and provolone.
Then layer onto The Portland, for $14, sautéed portabella and peppers with brown rice, spinach, asparagus, onions and all the rest. The Traditional French toast pours on two pieces of cranberry wild rice. With the pancakes, with local syrup, add chocolate chips or blueberries.
When it comes to the bistro filet steak, typically eight ounces, add two eggs with a side of chimmi churri.
Sharon’s French Toast finds three slices offered.
As far as uptown entrees, the bistro fillet medallions are also served with Thai chimmi churri, seasonal veggies, and baked mashed potato with cheese. You can add, count ’em, five garlic buttered shrimp. Camille’s chicken tenders with baked mashed potato with cheese have lots of sauce choices including raspberry chipotle.
The mushroom marsala risotto with lemon chicken, speaks for itself, but there’s more. Its chicken picata with lemon zest served over creamy mushroom marsala risotto. Grilled ahi tuna (it can be seared to medium rare, if that’s your style) is also given such treatment.
You can also toast to roasted red pepper asparagus. Incorporated into entrees is creamy basil pesto, with fresh seasoned tomato. All these are served with baguette.
And hark forth jambalaya! This time of year. Shrimp, chicken, and andoullle sausage, etouffee (a trinity of green peppers, onions, and celery), simmered with creole spices and served over brown rice with pita. Spicy!
As such, there is a Thai entrée for a mere $11. Amazing, they say! Mango, sweet peppers, asparagus, and zucchini tossed in their Thai chimmi churn with brown rice. There’s also an alternative with rice noodles topped by cabbage, crushed peanuts and cilantro.
The Robust Betty gets its name from steak medallions and three shrimp. Add veggie hash and mushrooms caramelized with pit barbeque sauce topped with fresh jalapeño, and more. Cauliflower risoto blends in a special bleu cheese sauce to what’s garden grown.
Here’s how we roll. Noodles cannelloni is $12 and is pasta rolled with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, chicken and Italian sausage, and your choice of red, rosa or alfredo sauce. You can get a version with butternut squash and more sauces.
Deck some steak out with crimini mushrooms, asparagus, red and yellow peppers, and parmesan cheese. Zoodles too. And use of raspberry chipotle.
Again the sides rule the game. Cheesy baked AND mashed potatoes, root veggies, mixed greens and fresh fruit are available for between $2 and $4.
More and bigger salads have artichoke hearts, talatel (GF) and live tapanade, wasabi, tamari ginger sauce and pickled ginger (both of those). And they’ve got their I65 creamy parm, so you don’t have to hit the road for it.
Both soy and ginger grace your broccoli Bowl. And consider that Cuban chicken has sweet pickles, and the hummus has parmesan.
The New Yorker feels like you are right in the Big Apple. And some dishes add apple also. Dried cranberries and sugared walnuts, anyone?
To top off the Greek burger, you can add gyro. Your street taco can come in a box, and conjured up are camarones (i.e. six split shrimp) and at times ciabatta.
There are also plenty of beverages, nonalcoholic and also non-virgin, and desserts of all types and this is why they also call themselves a gelato bar, and we’ll deal with those in later post.
Their address is 729 N. Knowles Ave. and the phone is (715) 246-7657.
