    Bistro Barberet was lovely as always. The food is classic and comforting; the service is impeccable. Kayla is just an absolute gem of a human being - she’s professional and effortless with her service and smile. The bakery is world class and not to be missed.

    Not a lot of variety on the menu. Charge for extra bread when we did not get a lot in the first round. Said we could get a to-go bag for the bread, but it never came.

    Had reservations for 8pm. There's normally a small menu and that's not the issue. The issue was several dishes had run out of ingredients. Smallest portion of Foie Gras that I've ever had, especially for the $30 charge. My filet was way overdone. The service was minimally acceptable. It wasn't great for the cost. Nothing to brag about. Thanks for listening.

    One of the best French bistros I know outside of France. From the "salade lyonnaise" to the burger and fries, everything was well prepared and nicely plated. As always, the service was friendly, expert, and efficient.

    A great brunch, soup du jour was parsnip and apple, it was perfectly seasoned and so smooth and creamy. Vegetarian Quiche with shallots was a good portion size and the side salad was well dressed and made a perfect entree. Had to abstain from desserts but the front case was filled with excellent looking choices.

    We celebrated our 22 anniversary here. Delicious food and dessert. Our server was knowledgeable of the specials of the day and recommended we try the Milton lava cake with coffee ice cream! I give the and bakery 2 thumbs up! I recommend the restaurant to others often. You will not be disappointed.
