1st time at well known place. Went far left field from comfort order standard I fall into. KUDOS to waitress recommended entree Pork Chop. Legit!! I did get slaw on side vs on top…I ended doing combo slaw and chop on fork……so I would go back and get same dish as supposed with slaw on top.

Decided to try this place while in town because of its great reviews. The wait was unbelievable. I don’t mind waiting, but it was ungodly hot in the restaurant. Our waitress was great. Super friendly. Very nice woman. When the food finally arrived it was the biggest disappointment. The special was the tiniest portion, no taste, and over cooked. We also had the chicken Marsala plate. Both were disappointing as well. Tiny portion. It reminded me of brown gravy as opposed to a Marsala sauce. Mashed potatoes tasted instant. The chicken was chewy and not appetizing. The price, outrageous for what you get served. I absolutely do not mind spending money on great food. But this was the biggest waste of $120 I’ve ever spent. Seriously lacking.

Definitely a restaurant we’ll be returning to! Smallish with a great vibe and atmosphere, locally owned and operated.The food and service was delightful. Nice size servings, well worth the prices. The lobster wrap appetizer was decadent and I had a stir fry loaded with fresh veggies in a lightly spiced teriyaki sauce… delicious. Jennifer, our server was so personable, helpful and alert!

I’ll get photos next time. I was too busy devouring my dinner. Hollywood oysters, Korean Short Rib Tacos and Diver Scallops with Potato Gnocchi and thick cut bacon. It was great. Service was just as excellent. We sat at the bar. Going again very soon. Menu changes and weekly specials. Second trip I had the Chicken and Dumplings, dumplings are potato gnocchi, soooooo good. My friend had the pot roast. He said it was amazing. Never fails this place is one of the best locally!

The food and service are always great. I have tried just about everything on the menu and struggle to pick a favorite as my experiences have always been that good! Try it out, you will enjoy your visit! Sincerely, Dave.

Never again. The baked brie was decent but everything else was not. The chicken and ribs were bad. Soggy chicken skin with little to no meat and the ribs were all fat. The pork loin was rubbery and almost inedible. Also the meal was very rushed. Would not recommend.

Absolutely love this place. From the decor to the drinks to the food… EVERYTHING is just wonderful. My dish – the lobster saffron risotto – was amazing, while my wife’s dinner – the chicken francaise – was cooked to perfection. Thanks again Bistro for another wonderful evening!
