We really enjoyed all the food we had and definitely will return. The service was great as well with our server being friendly and on top of things. Only slight disappointment was a sticky table a untidy floor, both pet peeves of mine! Don’t miss the strawberry bruschetta.

Excellent menu options. I was very satisfied and my 7 coworkers raved about each of their dishes. I had the Tuna, salmon paté, clam chowder, Cajun bleu burger with an egg. All were delicious, especially the paté. Nice looking bar area that has been refreshed, with warm, aged brick wall accent adorned with contemporary art. We all loved it. Prices are fair for the dishes but on the moderate to high side.

Great food and great service! It’s a classy atmosphere with a smaller dining area and a small bar. Instead of getting a single entree, we chose to split a couple appetizers. Everything was outstanding!

Came in for lunch about 2:30pm. I had the crab bisque. Creamy rich seafood goodness with a spicy finish. Hubby had the grilled cheese with a side of salt & vinegar fries. The vinegar was present but not overwhelming. The gruyere and cheddar cheese were blessed with perfectly cooked bacon and a fresh tomato. Hubby said the fries were so well-seasoned that he didn’t need the ketchup. Gluten-free Decadent Chocolate Cake is like a fudge brownie soaked in dark chocolate. So @##$ing good. Staff very friendly.

Swanky little dive, great staff, Moscow mule was handcrafted unlike the norm. Decor was great local photography and art. Will be back to try the dinner menu

I’m sure nothing on the menu would disappoint! Drinks were very tasty! I ordered the duck breast as a special. Very tender and perfectly cooked.

What a small town gem! The hubby and I decided to go to The Bistro last minute for dinner. We were worried because we didn’t have any reservations and it was a Friday night, but it wasn’t busy at all. The waitstaff was nice and the food came quickly. We both went with beyond burgers and the sides of magic fries were magical, as the name implies. I especially appreciated the non-alcoholic drink offerings and was please to learn that they make their own ginger syrup! The only thing wrong with our visit was the heat. I don’t know if they don’t have a/c, or if it was broken, but we were both sweating so much that we ended up paying and leaving mid-meal. The charm and the good food were worth it though, so I guess we’ll just have to go again in the wintertime!

Great atmosphere and tasty fare. Corwin, the bartender, took excellent care of us and he was wonderfully attentive. His passion for mixology really shines through, especially in his ‘Trust us’ creations. Do yourself a favor and dine there tonight!

Very friendly and helpful staff. We came in along with 6 other tables and only 1 server working. One of the chefs came out of the kitchen to help get everyone greeted, sat and given drinks. Once food was in it came out quickly and hot! Very nice atmosphere and open concept kitchen so you can see the chefs hard at work preparing your meal. This is a nicer restaurant, which we hadn’t realized going in since we are from out of town. Definitely feels like you should be slightly dressed up, but certainly not required. I will certainly return next time we are in the area. Parking was slightly limited since it is located right downtown so expect to walk a block or 2 if you can’t get into the parking lot out back
