TITLE this dining
movie Bistro Boys Go
West.

Cue sounds of wailing and
lamentation from fine food afi-
cionados living in or around
the gende hamlet of
Edgemont Village, where the
Boys established their original
Village Bistro as one of the
best small restaurants on the
North Shore — make that one
of the best North Shore
restaurants period.

But, as they say in the phi-
losophy trade, all things must
past, and you can only do so
much with 50 seats. The
Bistro Boys — Joc Perri,
Shawn Perger, Sam Kang and
Steve Myddleton — had done
much and more.

They were doing a land-
sale business at the Village
Bistro almost from the time
they took over the location in
carly 1996. But ambitions
developed with the restaurant.
They needed a bigger stage.

If you can have this much
fun with 50 seats, how much
more fun can you have with
twice that number?

The full answer is not in
yet, but from an initial sam-
pling of their new Ambleside
Bistro, twice as much might
be a conservative estimate.
