Nestled in the middle of the busy road containing Sparta Dairy and Burger King, one would not expect the comfortable atmosphere that Cafe Pierrot embodies. Inside there are antique-y old floors and quaint tables, white-lace curtains and a hutch with seasonal decor. Cafe Pierrot feels like a step into a Cafe in Paris, which is a wonderful and surprising jewel of Sparta.
We decided to dine later than usual, it had been a busy day but we had to make time this month to fit it in. One thing I have noticed about Cafe Pierrot is that they have had the same staff for a long time, since my first meal a few years ago. As usual, the tall, male waiter with the brown hair, (whose name right now escapes me), told us we could choose our seat and gave us a few minutes to decide what to have.
Unfortunately, after he left I noticed a particularly large spider crawling it's way up the lacy curtain next to us. Ang and I decided to let it go, seeing as it was the only one, and never before had either of us seen any bugs in the restaurant. Later on in the evening I did squish it with a napkin, for it was inching too close to the table. Ordering ice teas, we then split in our "meal plans"- I chose a cup of chili and my usual chicken caesar salad wrap. Upon giving our order, we continued to talk until everything came.
My chili, which came in a fair size, was overall good. However, it was a little cold. I did like that it was not too spicy. The wrap was perfect as always, and the small side of salad and potato salad was also quite delicious. I had been very hungry when we sat down, and I finished my meal almost too full. And of course, the ice tea was very refreshing.
I would give Cafe Pierrot a 4 out of 5 star for the evening because of the spider and because the waiter, while kind and polite, was a little too "noticeable", if you know what I mean- he came to check on us a little too often. However, Cafe Pierrot will always be one of my very favorite places to eat, and Angela and I had a wonderful time.
