Bistro 1130 is set to unveil its recent changes. The restaurant, located at 1130 Town and Country Crossing Drive next-door to newly opened Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant & Winery, closed Jan. 5. In the subsequent weeks, owner Mikki Jones has given the restaurant a new look, a new focus, a new chef and a new menu, all set to debut Feb. 24.
When it first opened in 2010, Bistro 1130 specialized in French cuisine. Jones said the new restaurant will cast a wider net to add the flavors of the Mediterranean, including Morocco, home of Bistro 1130’s new executive chef Karim Bouzammour. The menu includes a handful of salads, tagines, paella, flatbreads, meat and seafood entrees, and appetizers like calamari, falafel and a goat cheese turnover.
Besides changes to the fare, tablecloths have been removed, and Jones has changed the décor to one that feels light, airy and colorful – all changes that she hopes will give the restaurant a more casual vibe to go along with a more “family-friendly price point.” Bistro 1130 has also added weekday lunch service.
