Chef Derik Watson, previously of Iridescence, is behind one of the greatest culinary experiences to be had in the 'burbs, all in a city that isn’t exactly known for its sophisticated dining culture. Bistro 82 gently toes the line of an old-school steakhouse with the emphasis primarily on beef and seafood, but the influence of Watson's traditional French and Japanese training is very much evident all over the menu, and the space is a FAR cry from Sangria that came before it.
