I am here almost every Wednesday for their Coconut Chicken Curry special (I always ask for it spicy), it’s fresh and more than you need to eat, but you won’t be able to stop yourself.
Had visited a few times before pandemic. Food and service was very good. Decided to have dinner again at the Bistro. We ordered two appetizers, 2 salads and 4 mains. The pate and octopus were very good. Similarly for the farmers market and beet salads. The pork tenderloin was good. The Chilean sea bass was good and also the gluten free seafood crepe. The lamb shank was a big disappointment. The meat did not have much flavor and was overpowered by an exceedingly salty coating of sauce and carrots. Service was very good except for when when we complained about the highly salty dish, the server/ hostess just said sorry but no offer to replace the dish or other. Consequently, my tip was lower than usual at slightly less than 15%. She was not pleased with no thank you nor receipt for the credit card charge.
Delightful lunch we were greeted at the entrance by our server Kristina, who was helpful in explaining the menu items and efficiently meeting our needs during lunch. The lobster bisque was rich snd creamy. The smoked salmon crepe was delicious with a side garnish of crème fraîche and capers. I was happy to see that this restaurant survived during COVID the ambiance and menu offerings remain high quality. Reservations recommended.
The place is beautiful clean and welcoming. We were greeted immediately by a beautiful woman the owner. She was excellent and helpful in ordering! We started with a bottle of Rose! Excellent! Then ordered the crab cakes, beet salad, and beef borb. crepe! They were fantastic! Then we finished with chicken Kiev! Wonderful! Fish stew with muscles and potatoes and more was delicious!! Dessert was chocolate mousse cake and ricotta and pistachio crepes! Sooo good!! Cup Puccini and fresh coffee so fresh! Everything quality here! Fresh and great attention and attitude to detail! Bread and butter so tasty. Server was so kind and pleasant. She was the owner and checked in frequently! The chef was attentive and waved and said hello! There was a young server who was so beautiful and sweet! This is a family affair! We watched the whole staff gather for champagne and food tasting before the dinner rush. The place is beautiful? But the atmosphere was so inviting and encouraged us to linger over coffee and dessert! Such a great experience! We will be back soon and frequently as this is our new favorite restaurant! Thank you for a job well done. Best wishes, congratulations, and well done!
My recent experience is consistent with many prior reviewers. The meal itself was exceptional. Four of us each tried something different and we all agreed the quality and presentation was terrific. Not one review is negative regarding the food. The issue is the attitude of the staff, it’s almost like they play the role of French arrogance. They seemed dismissive at times and a pretense of superiority. Still would recommend because the food is that good and deserves to be shared. Would’ve been a 5 star is customers were more appreciated.
