Editorial Review for Cabo's Corner Bistro – by Carter Trumbo
The Scene
Definitely a "downtown crowd" who prefers a touch of elegance at an eatery. A pastoral-painted wall mural, Tiffany-inspired lamps at each booth, ceiling fans and starched tablecloths combine with the nightly live jazz and blues music to pamper picky professionals. Too bad the lights are so dim that you can't always appreciate these details.
The Food
Seasonal foods combined with sophisticated sides and sauces set the tone for a specific palate. The pumpkin wontons come with five spice apples and brown butter sauce; the Blue Point Oysters are crowded with shiitakes and fois gras butter. Red meat reigns (grilled rib eye, charred sirloin and prime rib) but don't discount the lobster crab cakes and New Zealand rack of lamb. Wasabi mashed potatoes and the chipotle-chevre cheese-potato cake sides are perfect partners, but the asparagus side seemed skimpy. Skip the doughy house-made pizza.

This could be a great place but the smoke was way too thick, and makes for a terrible experience. Otherwise, if the owner would prohibit smoking, it would be a Wonderful place.
Pros: great music
Cons: smoking

Cabo's is a restaurant that I patronize on a regular basis. The food is ALWAYS good and the price is fair. If you are lucky enough to be there when there's a chef's tasting, DO IT! The dishes will never be boring! The portions ARE dwindling in size; however, you will still leave with a full stomach... you just won't have anything additional to take home for tomorrow's lunch. There is always an option to sit on the "calm" side should you not wish to be in the same section as the band.
Pros: additional parking, good bartender, atmosphere
